PURPOSE Many different surgical techniques for the treatment of chronic recurrent temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dislocation have been described. This article discusses a technique of autologous blood injection to the TMJ for treatment of chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-five patients diagnosed with chronic recurrent TMJ dislocation were treated by bilateral inje...

216 Volume XI, no. 2 : May 2010 We were unable to reduce the dislocation despite moderate sedation with etomidate. The patient was also seen by orthopedic surgery in the ED. At follow-up two days later, he was noted to have mildly decreased sensation in the peroneal nerve distribution. He was scheduled for surgery, but prior to repair he slipped and felt a “pop.” Pre-operative radiographs revea...

Two solution algorithms are developed for the conditional moment closure (CMC) using quadrature-based methods (QBMM). Their primary purpose is to eliminate necessity of additional grid conditioning variable (e.g., mixture fraction). As in almost every probability-density-function (PDF)-based description, main technical hurdle molecular-mixing term. Here focus on solving this term coupled with c...

The RACE main phase project RI0 10, on subscriber CMC (Coherent Multi-Channel) system, is a joint activity of Nat.Lab.

In this study we report the results of thumb carpometacarpal (CMC) joint replacements in the Norwegian population over a 17-year period. In total, 479 primary replacements performed from 1994 to 2011 were identified in the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register. Implant survival and risk of revision were analyzed using Cox regression analyses. Four different implant designs were compared and time tren...

DESCRIPTION A 23-year-old man presented to the emergency department with the after being struck in the hand with a basketball. Clinical findings are seen in the image above.

Background Traditionally, initial management of first anterior shoulder dislocations consists of reduction of the glenohumeral joint followed by a period of immobilization and subsequent physical therapy to recover shoulder range of motion and strength. This traditional approach in management is now controversial due to the high rate of recurrence. The aim of this paper is to review and discuss...

Traumatic dislocation of the metacarpophalangeal joint is a relatively uncommon injury. The dislocation may be easily reducible (ie, simple) or require surgical intervention (ie, complex). The flexor tendons, lumbrical muscle, natatory ligament, and superficial transverse metacarpal ligament combine with the displaced volar plate to create a tight noose, preventing reduction. Surgical approach ...

Injuries to the first rib synchondrosis are uncommon in sport. The potential for serious complications following posterior displacement is similar to that seen with posterior sternoclavicular joint dislocation. Clinical examination and plain radiography may not provide a definitive diagnosis. Computerised tomography is the most appropriate imaging modality if this injury is suspected. Posterior...

ABSTRACT Simultaneous ipsilateral shoulder and elbow joint dislocation is a rare injury. In most reported cases, shoulder joint dislocation was missed and diagnosed at a later time. We present the case of a 30-year-old male who dislocated his ipsilateral shoulder and elbow joint following a motor vehicle accident. Keeping a high index of suspicion, radiographs of both joints were obtained. Unde...
