MRI is a medical imaging modality that works by utilizing hydrogen atoms in the body. Imaging does not use ionizing radiation but uses an external magnetic field. able to provide good soft tissue contrast based on nature of tissue. The wrist joint complex consisting several bones and joints. consist including distal radius ulna, 8 carpal bones, proximal part consists 5 metacarpal bones. This ty...

Abstract Background The study is aimed to propose an arthroscopic repair technique using a pre-tied suture device for peripheral TFCC (triangular fibrocartilage complex) tear with proximal component involvement. Methods Through retrospective review in the medical records of patients who underwent unilateral Palmer IB lesion between 2017 and 2019, 12 were arthroscopically diagnosed as received m...

BACKGROUND Avascular necrosis of the lunate bone (Kienböck's disease), is a condition in which lunate bone, loses its blood supply, leading to necrosis of the bone. There is probably no single cause of Kienbock's disease. Its origin may involve multiple factors, such as the blood supply (arteries), blood drainage (veins), and skeletal variations. Trauma, either isolated or repeated, may possibl...

Arthroscopy of the wrist is a recent technique but already validated for many indications. It rarely gives rise to complications but requires a learning curve just like any other endoscopic procedure. It allows complete visualization of the osseous, articular, synovial and ligamentous structures of the different joints comprising the wrist. There are two main indications for wrist arthroscopy: ...

Untreated distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) injuries can give rise to long lasting complaints. Although common, diagnosis and treatment of DRUJ injuries remains a challenge. The articulating anatomy of the distal radius and ulna, among others, enables an extensive range of forearm pronosupination movements. Stabilization of this joint is provided by both intrinsic and extrinsic stabilizers and the...

The authors retrospectively reviewed 29 patients with chronic lunotriquetral ligament tears who were treated with lunotriquentral arthrodesis. Arthrography confirmed the diagnosis in 17 cases, arthroscopy in 18. Associated lesions included 13 TFCC tears and 8 scapholunate ligament tears. The fusion was carried out with staples in 5 cases, a Herbert screw in 17, a Kirschner wire in 6. Bone graft...

The surface water quality of some stagnant water bodies (ponds and lakes—Obi Lake, Usede pond, Oguta lake, Omuku pond, Ugheghe pond, Karabodone lake, Abua lake, Ikarama lake, Tenmako lake, and Adiegbe lake) in the Niger Delta area of Nigeria have been investigated experimentally by analysing the physico-chemical and biological characteristics of the surface water samples. Results show: pH (5.10...
