Patients with carpal tunnel syndrome present with fibrosis of the subsynovial connective tissue next to the flexor tendons, which is that shear forces play a role in injury development. To better link ergonomic factors with underlying pathomechanics, we used ultrasonography to measure relative motion of the long finger flexor digitorum superficialis and the adjacent subsynovial connective tissu...

Aim: Many different methods have been described in the treatment of distal radius fractures (DRF) elderly population, and which one is better method a matter debate among orthopedic surgeons. The aim this study was to compare results closed reduction plastering (CRP) volar locking plate (VLP), are used DRF population. Materials Methods: Between January 2019 December 2020, 36 patients with aged ...

BACKGROUND the complex motions of the wrist are described in terms of four anatomical directions that are accomplished through the multiple articulations of the carpus. With minimal tendinous insertions, the carpus is primarily a passive structure. This emphasizes the importance of its mechanical properties, which few studies have examined to date. The purpose of the present study was to determ...

PURPOSE To test the hypothesis that combining orthogonal fragment-specific fixation with volar fixed-angle fixation provides markedly higher interfragment stability and construct strength compared with volar fixed-angle fixation alone. METHODS Eight matched pairs of fresh cadaveric hand and forearm specimens were potted upright in cement. Flexor and extensor tendons were isolated at insertion...

PURPOSE This study aimed to evaluate the kinematics of the flexor pollicis longus tendon (FPL) at the wrist by examining the movement of the FPL on the distal radius during various wrist and finger motions using transverse ultrasound in healthy volunteers. METHODS Forty-eight wrists of 24 asymptomatic volunteers were examined by transverse ultrasound to observe the location of the FPL on the ...

STUDY DESIGN Controlled laboratory study using a randomized crossover design. OBJECTIVE To determine the immediate effect of 3 common types of orthoses (2 elbow counterforce orthoses and a wrist splint) on grip strength in individuals with lateral epicondylosis. BACKGROUND Lateral epicondylosis is a common cause of pain and upper limb dysfunction. Although the effectiveness of orthoses has ...

BACKGROUND Wrist anthropometrics and posture have been implicated in the development of carpal tunnel syndrome, yet it remains unclear how external measurements relate to carpal tunnel parameters in neutral and non-neutral postures. The purposes of this study were (i) to evaluate the effect of slice orientation on several indices of carpal tunnel size and shape and (ii) to examine the relations...

The wrist is a common injury site for snowboarders who often fall onto an outstretched hand. Wrist protectors are worn by some to prevent injuries attenuating impact forces and limiting extension. This paper presents bespoke pendulum test device impacting when fitted surrogate. rig can replicate risk scenarios, while measuring temporal extension angles. Results from testing 12 snowboarding pres...

In the study, the functional recovery and relative comprehensive quality of life of cases of global brachial plexus treated with free functioning muscle transfers were investigated. Patients who received functioning gracilis muscle transfer between August 1999 and October 2014 to reconstruct elbow flexion, wrist and fingers extension were recruited. The mean age of the patients was 26.36 (range...
