Traumatic anterior glenohumeral subluxations comprise the majority of glenohumeral instability events and are endemic in young athletes. Unlike the definitive complete dislocation event, subluxation events may often be more subtle in presentation and, therefore, may be overlooked by clinicians. Glenohumeral subluxation events are associated with a high rate of labral tears as well as humeral he...

Over a 36-month period, 11 children were treated in our department for fractures about the elbow which initially went undiagnosed, as they had first undergone reduction maneuvers for a suspected radial head subluxation, without prior imaging. The most frequent final diagnosis was supracondylar humerus fracture (n = 4). A fall was reported for six children (54.5%); the mechanism of injury remain...

The incidence of atlantoaxial rotatory subluxation is fairly uncommon; however it is more common to be encountered in the pediatric population. It is usually seen in children after a retropharyngeal inflammation or after a minor trauma. Children have unique anatomical features such as inherent ligamentous laxity and shallower and more horizontally oriented facet joints that allow greater freedo...

avulsion injury of the flexor digitorum profundus (fdp) with concomitant fracture of the distal phalanx dorsal base is uncommon. simultaneous avulsion fractures of the insertion of this tendon associated with rupture of the tendon from the bony fragment and combination with dorsal base fracture is very rare and also complicated. a 36- year- old man fell and injured his right little finger. fdp ...

introduction: although hippocampus is the most famous brain area involved in temporal lobe epilepsy, hippocampal kindling (hk) develops very slowly. hence, rapid kindling is usually preferred to the traditional kindling and it is widely used. in this article we aimed at finding the optimal stimulus pattern, which yields the fastest hk rate. methods: stimulus patterns with different duration (2,...

Introduction Reduction of a radial head subluxation is a gratifying procedure for both clinicians and parents. With a simple maneuver, a child can be restored to full function in minutes, without the need for costly or time-consuming studies. Radial head subluxation also is referred to as nursemaid’s elbow, pulled elbow, or annular ligament displacement. Clinicians working in the office, urgent...

Ligamentous instability of the ankle joint can be confirmed by radiographs taken in two planes. The place of the anteroposterior varus stress view is established, but the lateral view which shows anterior subluxation of the talus is frequently omitted. The anatomical significance of the two stress views has been determined by dividing different components of the lateral ligament of 20 cadaveric...

We carried out a morphometric analysis of acetabular dysplasia in patients with cerebral palsy requiring hip surgery using three-dimensional CT. We evaluated 54 hips in 27 patients. The contralateral normal hips of ten patients with unilateral Perthes' disease were used as a control group. The acetabular defects were assessed qualitatively as anterior, posterior or global. Quantitative assessme...

A six-year-old girl with congenital sensory neuropathy with anhidrosis (CSNA) presented with bilateral hip dysplasia and subluxation on the right side. Conservative treatment of the hips by closed reduction and a plaster cast was unsuccessful. When aged seven years the patient had an intertrochanteric varus rotation osteotomy on the right side, but subluxation was again evident after five month...

OBJECTIVE To provide a rationale for the examination of posture from a dynamic (behavioral) perspective and to relate the vertebral subluxation to postural instability and motion sickness via inefficiency. DATA COLLECTION A manual search of available reference texts and a computer search of literature from Index Medicus, PsycINFO, and ISI Science Citation Index Expanded were collected with an...
