Thumb carpal metacarpal arthritis.
The thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint is the most common site of surgical reconstruction for osteoarthritis in the upper extremity. In patients older than age 75 years, thumb CMC osteoarthritis has a radiographic prevalence of 25% in men and 40% in women. The thumb CMC joint obtains its stability primarily through ligamentous support. A diagnosis of thumb CMC arthritis is based on symptoms of l...
متن کاملCarpal Coalitions; Failures of Differentiation of the Carpus: A Description of Cases
Synostosis of carpal bones originates from lack of cavitation at the site of the future joint space with subsequent chondrification and ossification during the 4 to 8 weeks of intrauterine life. It is mostly seen as a chance finding discovered on radiographs. These coalitions are often asymptomatic, but can give complaints after trauma. We report six patients with different congenital carpal co...
متن کاملEffects of racetrack exercise on third metacarpal and carpal bone of New Zealand thoroughbred horses.
The response of equine bone to training has not been quantified in racetrack trained horses, only in treadmill exercised horses. Seven two-year-old thoroughbred fillies were trained on sand and grass at a racetrack, in a typical New Zealand flatrace training regime. The horses were exercised 6 days per week for up to 13 weeks. During the day the horses were confined in 4 x 4m sand yards, and we...
متن کاملMetacarpal Fractures
The majority of metacarpal fractures are closed injuries amenable to conservative treatment with external immobilization and subsequent rehabilitation. Internal fixation is favored for unstable fracture patterns and patients who require early motion. Percutaneous pinning usually is successful for metacarpal neck fractures and comminuted head fractures. Shaft and base fractures can be treated wi...
متن کاملSmall Finger Metacarpal Shaft Wedged between Ring and Small Metacarpal Bases: a Report of 2 Cases
We present two patients with a displaced fracture of the small finger metacarpal base, where the shaft of the small finger metacarpal was wedged between the bases of the ring and small finger metacarpals. The striking appearance on radiographs led to initial recommendations for surgery, but both patients preferred non-operative treatment and did well in the short term without surgery
