Lower extremity nerve trauma.
Peripheral nerve injuries of the lower extremity (LE) are frequently encountered in orthopaedic practice. They can be traumatic or iatrogenic. Proper and timely diagnosis and treatment are the keys to optimizing outcomes. This paper reviews and discusses the basic anatomy and physiology of nerve injury and the current literature on the incidence, pathogenesis, diagnosis, management and outcomes...
متن کاملFactors influencing outcome following limb-threatening lower limb trauma: lessons learned from the Lower Extremity Assessment Project (LEAP).
The Lower Extremity Assessment Project (LEAP) is a multicenter study of severe lower extremity trauma in the US civilian population. At 2- and 7-year follow-ups, the LEAP study found no difference in functional outcome between patients who underwent either limb salvage surgery or amputation. However, outcomes on average were poor for both groups. This study and others provide evidence of wide-r...
متن کاملThe Military Extremity Trauma Amputation/Limb Salvage (METALS) study: outcomes of amputation versus limb salvage following major lower-extremity trauma.
BACKGROUND The study was performed to examine the hypothesis that functional outcomes following major lower-extremity trauma sustained in the military would be similar between patients treated with amputation and those who underwent limb salvage. METHODS This is a retrospective cohort study of 324 service members deployed to Afghanistan or Iraq who sustained a lower-limb injury requiring eith...
متن کاملBraking function after complex lower extremity trauma.
BACKGROUND This study was performed to evaluate when patients recover sufficiently to drive an automobile after operative repair of various other lower extremity fractures. METHODS A computerized driving simulator was developed and tested. Three groups of individuals were compared: (1) 12 healthy, volunteers tested once to establish normal mean values for variables tested (group I); (2) 22 pa...
متن کاملAssessment of the clinical significance of asymptomatic lower extremity uptake abnormality in young athletes.
UNLABELLED This study was undertaken to evaluate our hypothesis that most asymptomatic lower extremity uptake abnormalities are of no clinical consequence and to assess whether these findings should affect patient care. METHODS One hundred consecutive young athletes referred for bone scintigraphy by a sports medicine clinic because of low back pain were evaluated for the presence of asymptoma...
