Dynamic high-resolution ultrasound of intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments of the wrist: How to make it simple.
Wrist ligaments are crucial structures for the maintenance of carpal stability. They are classified into extrinsic ligaments, connecting the carpus with the forearm bones or distal radioulnar ligaments, and intrinsic ligaments, entirely situated within the carpus. Lesions of intrinsic and extrinsic ligaments of the wrist have been demonstrated to occur largely, mostly in patients with history o...
متن کاملCONCISE REPORT High resolution ultrasound detects a decrease in pannus vascularisation of small finger joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis receiving treatment with soluble tumour necrosis factor α receptor (etanercept)
Objective: High resolution ultrasound (HRUS) was used to investigate the effects of tumour necrosis factor α (TNFα) blockade on pannus formation and vascularisation of small finger joints in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: Five patients with active RA were treated with etanercept, a soluble TNFα receptor protein, for one month. Before, during, and after treatment the pa...
متن کاملMRI and high-resolution ultrasound of plantar plate pathology in the painful forefoot of patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Introduction Forefoot pain in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is associated with functional and structural changes at the MTP joints. Previous cadaveric studies have suggested that forefoot deformities in RA might result from the failure of a complex ligamentous system and displacement of the plantar plates (PP). MRI and high resolution ultrasound (HRUS) have been reported to identify the PP and visu...
متن کاملHand arthritis in systemic lupus erythematosus: an ultrasound pictorial essay.
A small minority of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients may develop a deforming arthritis, typically with a non-erosive (Jaccoud's) pattern, although erosive features indistinguishable from rheumatoid arthritis may also occur. High-resolution ultrasonography (HRUS) allows detailed 'real time' imaging of joint and tendon morphostructural changes involving the hand in patients with severa...
متن کاملCorrelation between anti-nuclear antibodies (ANA), rheumatoid factor (RF), anti-cyclic citrullinated peptides antibodies (Anti-CCP) and percentage and type of pulmonary involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, Booali Hospital Tehran (2016-2
Background: Controlling the pulmonary involvement, as one of the most common extra-articular consequences in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), can improve the life quality and survival rate of patients. This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between disease-related inflammatory factors and the severity and type of lung involvement in patients, which is a practical step toward early detection and...
