Seven fresh cadaveric specimens were used to determine the loss of forearm rotation with varying distal radius fracture malalignment patterns. Uniplanar malunion patterns consisting of dorsal tilt, radioulnar translation, or radial shortening were simulated by creating an osteotomy at the distal end of the radius, orienting the distal fragment position using an external fixator, and maintaining...

Pediatric elbow fractures can be challenging to manage. Compression of the medial column in Gartland Type I and Type II supracondylar fractures must be reduced to prevent varus deformity. Gartland Type III fractures may be stabilized with two lateral pins or a medial lateral cross-pin technique. Non-displaced lateral condyle fractures require vigilant follow-up. Open reduction of displaced late...

Purpose
 Stiff elbow is a common upper extremity problem which can limit patients’ daily life activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcomes open arthrolysis for stiff elbow. Our hypothesis that would yield good functional results and patient satisfaction.
 Methods
 This retrospective assessed 110 patients who underwent surgery in single institute be...

Total elbow arthroplasty is used for the treatment of the painful, destroyed elbow joint. With the increase in elbow replacement surgery in recent years, the number of revision surgeries will also increase. At our center, 236 primary Souter-Strathclyde total elbow prostheses have been placed. Twenty-four of these have been revised and were followed up for a mean of 74 months (range, 12-165 mont...

OBJECTIVE To determine whether there was any discrepancy in elbow flexion strength among patients with and without evident clinical deformity resulting from arthroscopic tenotomy on the long head of the biceps. METHOD A group of 120 patients who underwent this procedure were evaluated. After applying the exclusion criteria, 89 patients remained in the analysis. Eighteen months after the opera...

Incline Dumbbell Curl (IDC) and Dumbbell Preacher Curl (DPC) are two variations of the standard Dumbbell Biceps Curl (DBC), generally applied to optimize biceps brachii contribution for elbow flexion by fixing shoulder at a specific angle. The aim of this study is to identify changes in the neuromuscular activity of biceps brachii long head for IDC, DPC and DBC exercises, by taking into account...

MATERIAL Fifty-eight adults were reviewed in whom the radial head had been excised, either for comminuted or severely depressed marginal fractures (forty-six cases), or after fracturedislocations of the elbow (twelve cases). The average follow-up was seven and a half years. There were thirty-two men and twenty-six women, and, as in other reported series, the highest incidence was between thirty...

OBJECTIVE To associate the short-term effects of the Handmaster orthosis on disabling symptoms of the affected upper extremity with long-term Handmaster orthosis use after stroke. DESIGN Historic cohort study. PATIENTS Patients with chronic stroke. METHODS The Modified Ashworth Scale (0-5) for wrist (primary outcome) and elbow flexor hypertonia, visual analogue scale (0-10) for pain, oede...

It has always been a challenge to reconstruct large bone gaps. The aim of this case report is to highlight the success of homologous maternal bone grafting in a large cystic lesion. A six and half years old boy presented to us with an aneurysmal bone cyst (ABC) of the right radius, not amenable to curettage. We excised the lesion in toto, which created an 11 cm bone loss. Considering the age of...
