^ f Of the five books I have been able to refer to Erichsen and Rose and Carless do not appear to mention the injury, Spencer and Gask merely mention it, while Treves' is the only work that gives any details, Neal's Medical Digest refers to five cases, of which through the courtesy of the Librarian of the Royal College of Surgeons, I have been able to obtain summaries. 1. My first case was a Go...

OBJECTIVE Physical and sonographic evaluation of hemiplegic shoulder in patients after acute stroke and correlation between the physical/sonographic findings and early-onset hemiplegic shoulder pain. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. SUBJECTS Fifty-seven patients after stroke with hemiplegic shoulder. METHODS Subjects were assigned to poor motor function and good motor function groups accordi...

Subluxation or dislocation of PCIOL is one of the complications of cataract operation in RP patients. This paper reports the presentation of PCIOL dislocation and subluxation and the management and outcome in 3 eyes of 2 RP patients. Two medical records of patients with RP who developed dislocated or subluxated PCIOL and subsequently underwent explantation of the dropped IOL were evaluated. Two...

Dislocation is a common and well-studied complication after total hip replacement. However, subluxation, which we define as a clinically recognised episode of incomplete movement of the femoral head outside the acetabulum with spontaneous reduction, has not been studied previously. Out of a total of 2521 hip replacements performed over 12 years by one surgeon, 30 patients experienced subluxatio...

Objective: The chiropractic care of a pediatric patient with Down’s syndrome and bilateral convergent strabismus is described. The purpose of this case report is to demonstrate the effects of vertebral subluxation reduction on aberrant ocular presentation and to propose vertebral subluxation mechanisms responsible for these effects. Clinical Features: The patient is a 4-year old male with Down’...

MATERIAL AND METHODS Retrospective 5-year study based on general and ophthalmic history records, and including 268 eyes (174 patients), aged 50 years and over. Ophthalmological examination involved visual acuity, measuring of intraocular pressure, slit lamp examination and indirect ophthalmoscopy. Type of surgical treatment was tailored for each patient (extra capsular cataract extraction, phac...

Thoracolumbar facets are not as commonly dislocated as are those of the cervical spine. It is, however, crucial to make an early and accurate diagnosis of thoracolumbar facet dislocation since the injury may be unstable and require reduction and internal fixation. This paper presents three major CT patterns of thoracolumbar facet fracture dislocation. The first represents anterior subluxation o...

BACKGROUND Arytenoid cartilage dislocation/subluxation is one of the rare complications following tracheal intubation, and there have been no reports about risk factors leading this complication. From our clinical experience, we have an impression that patients undergoing cardiovascular operations tend to be associated with this complication. AIMS We designed a large retrospective study to re...

In 1861 Duchenne noted in four cases of ' subacromial subluxation,' thought to be produced at birth, a true paralysis of the brachial plexus. In 1872 he described in detail obstetrical paralysis, with or without fracture or subluxation, and in older children described subspinous luxation as complicating or producing the paralysis (Duchenne, 1872). Erb, in 1874, localized by faradic stimulation ...

PURPOSE Instability of the knee is a common finding in patients with congenital limb deficiency. The instability can be attributed to soft tissue abnormalities, frontal, sagittal or rotational deformity of the lower limb and bony dysplasia of the patella or of the femoral condyles. In most of the cases, these pathomorphologic changes stay asymptomatic in daily activity. However, instability can...
