Charcot's Arthropathy of Both Wrists

Ultrasound-diagnosed bone and joint destruction as a typical image in advanced Charcots arthropathy – case report

The paper presents a case of Charcot foot in a patient with long standing type 2 diabetes and complicated by peripheral neuropathy. It was initially diagnosed by an ultrasound examination and subsequently confirmed by an X-ray and an magnetic resonance imaging. Diabetic neuropathy is nowadays the most frequent cause of Charcot arthropathy, although it can be also a result of other diseases of t...

Position Sensing Wrists For

Hemophilic Arthropathy.

The musculoskeletal manifestations of hemophilia A and B are some of the most common presenting symptoms and continue to be challenging to practitioners. Hemophilic arthropathy, if not initially adequately treated and managed, may lead to debilitating disease and eventually require the consideration of major surgery, including total joint arthroplasty. Thorough comprehension of the pathophysiol...

Novel Presentation of Uncommon Wrist Injury: Simultaneous Lunate and Perilunate Fracture Dislocation (scapho-capitate Syndrome) of Both Wrists

INTRODUCTION Perilunate and lunate dislocations are uncommon high energy injuries and have extensive soft tissue, cartilaginous and bony damage. The most common pattern is trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture dislocation which constitutes approximately 50% of these injuries. Unusual injury pattern like Scaphocapitate syndrome can occur with fracture through scaphoid waist and capitate that rotate...

Pathophysiology of Hemophilic Arthropathy

Spontaneous joint bleeding and repeated hemarthroses lead to hemophilic arthropathy-a debilitating disease with a significant negative impact on mobility and quality of life. Iron, cytokines, and angiogenic growth factors play a pivotal role in the onset of the inflammatory process that involves the synovial tissue, articular cartilage, and subchondral bone, with early damages and molecular cha...
