Adolescent baseball pitching technique: lower extremity biomechanical analysis.

Documentation of the lower extremity motion patterns of adolescent pitchers is an important part of understanding the pitching motion and the implication of lower extremity technique on upper extremity loads, injury and performance. The purpose of this study was to take the initial step in this process by documenting the biomechanics of the lower extremities during the pitching cycle in adolesc...

Prophylactic fasciotomy in a porcine model of extremity trauma.

BACKGROUND Extremity injury, with concomitant hemorrhagic shock, can result in ischemia-reperfusion injury and the formation of compartment syndrome requiring fasciotomy.

MATERIAL AND METHODS Yorkshi...

Gastrocnemius Muscle Flap and Its Application in Lower Extremity Reconstruction

A Canadian population-based description of the indications for lower-extremity amputations and outcomes.
