A Dynamic Ct Technique for Assessment of Wrist Joint Instability
نویسنده
چکیده
The wrist is one of the most intricate articulations of the musculoskeletal system, in which the delicate balance is maintained by a complex set of intrinsic and extrinsic ligamentous connections between seven carpal bones. Injuries to the bones and ligaments in the wrist may potentially irreversibly disrupt this balance and initiate progressive degenerative disease and osteoarthritis (OA). Muscle forces across the hand and wrist, as well as the numerous and complex articulations, pose significant challenges for diagnosis and treatment.

Assessment of Diagnostic Value of Single View Dynamic Technique in Diagnosis of Developmental Dysplasia of Hip: A Comparison with Static and Dynamic Ultrasond Techniques
Background: Developmental dysplasia of hip (DDH) is a common childhood disorder, and ultrasonography examination is routinely used for screening purposes. In this study, we aimed to evaluate a modified combined static and dynamic ultrasound technique for the detection of DDH and to compare with the results of static and dynamic ultrasound techniques. Methods:In this cross-sectional study...
متن کاملVisualization of the Gap in Scapholunate Joint
Instability of the scapholunate joint is frequently manifested by wrist pain and is sometimes visualized by a 2 to 4 mm gap between the scaphoid and lunate. Surgical repairs have had limited success, in part due to the surgeon being unsure which ligament or ligaments have been torn until the time of surgery. Various methods have been used to describe this gap between the bones and various level...
متن کاملModification of the use of the extensor retinaculum for reducible distal radioulnar joint instability: technique and results
Different surgical techniques have been described for chronic distal radioulnar joint instability: they are often complicated, quite invasive and may not be recommended for bidirectional instability. We describe a procedure using a radial-based extensor retinaculum strip and a capsular plication. This is a simple technique and less invasive than 'anatomic' radioulnar ligament reconstructions. W...

BACKGROUND To analyze clinical outcomes after anatomical reconstruction of distal radioulnar ligaments in patients with chronic post-traumatic instability of the distal radioulnar joint. METHODS Anatomical reconstruction was performed in 16 patients with subluxation or dynamic instability of distal radioulnar joint following trauma. Osteotomy was performed simultaneously in 10 patients with r...
