Short-Term Clinical Outcomes of Radial Shortening Osteotomy and Capitates Shortening Osteotomy in Kienböck Disease

Background:  There is no consensus on the best surgical treatment in Kienböck disease. We compared the shortterm outcomes of radial shortening osteotomy and capitate shortening osteotomy in patients affected with this disease.  Methods:  In a retrospective study of 21 patients with Lichtman stage IIIA of Kienböck disease, 12 patients with an average follow up of 3.2 ± 0.6 years had radial short...

Ulnar lengthening and shortening.

Alteration in length of the distal ulna may provide an attractive alternative to more destructive procedures commonly used for the treatment of mechanical and degenerative problems at the distal radioulnar joint. Ulnar recession has shown effectiveness in ulnolunate impingement, triangular fibrocartilage tears, and symptomatic ulnar plus variance. It has also been effective in chondromalacia of...

Shortening of Electromechanical Systole

was found in 22 of 24 subjects with myocardial infarction and 14 patients without documented myocardial infarction. A close linear correlation (r = -0.82, P < 0.001) was noted between shortening of the QS2I and catecholamine excretion among all patients irrespective of the presence of documented infarction. Patients with serious arrhythmias had significantly higher levels of catecholamine excre...

Flagellar Elongation and Shortening

Two structures on the distal ends of Chlamydomonas flagellar microtubules are described. One of these, the central microtubule cap, attaches the distal ends of the central pair microtubules to the tip of the flagellar membrane. In addition, filaments, called distal filaments, are observed attached to the ends of the Atubules of the outer doublet microtubules. Inasmuch as earlier studies suggest...
