ABSTRACT The primary aim of the study is to determine rate traction-related complications in hip arthroscopy (HA) including perineal compression and distraction injuries, secondary objective report incidence HA found on studies selected by a systematic review. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews Meta-Analyses guidelines were used data extraction from PubMed Cochrane databases obtai...

The facet joint is commonly associated with neck and low back pain and is susceptible to loading-induced injury. Although tensile loading of the cervical facet joint has been associated with inflammation and neuronal hyperexcitability, the mechanisms of joint loading-induced pain remain unknown. Altered brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels are associated with a host of painful condit...

A chronic flexion-distraction injury with a " fistulous wither " on the split spinous process of the L1 vertebra—a case report of a modified transpedicle wedge osteotomy

Amputation of the thumb invariably causes marked functional impairment of the hand especially, pinch and grasp functions. In rural areas where highly skilled microvascular surgeries are not available, distraction osteogenesis provides an easy and safe alternative of thumb reconstruction. We report a case of crush injury of the right hand in a 37 year old gentleman in which the right thumb was a...

Spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) is associated with self-reducing transient subluxation or distraction of the juvenile spine. It accounts for about 40% of spinal injuries in children under sixteen. Children's anatomical features increase their susceptibility to hyperflexion, hyperextension and distraction mechanisms. Nursing management includes an awareness of two o...

Distraction osteogenesis is an important technique for the treatment of maxillofacial abnormities and defects. However, distraction osteogenesis may cause the injury of the inferior alveolar nerve. The relationship between distraction rate and nerve degeneration-regeneration shift remains poorly understood. In this study, 24 rabbits were randomly divided into four groups. To establish the rabbi...

Virtual reality technology enables people to become immersed in a computer-simulated, three-dimensional environment. This article provides a comprehensive review of controlled research on the effectiveness of virtual reality (VR) distraction for reducing pain. To be included in the review, studies were required to use a between-subjects or mixed model design in which VR distraction was compared...

INTRODUCTION The authors have attempted to elucidate the differences between Chance, seat-belt, and flexion distraction fractures. Chance and seat-belt fractures have more common features, while flexion distraction fractures differ, in particular, due to the mechanism of injury. A difficult diagnosis is sometimes a common characteristic, while therapy is always the same. PATIENTS AND METHODS ...

The objective of this study was to compare the long-term histological and behavioral outcomes after spinal cord injury (SCI) induced by one of three distinct biomechanical mechanisms: dislocation, contusion, and distraction. Thirty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomized to incur a traumatic cervical SCI by one of these three clinically relevant mechanisms. The injured cervical spines were sur...
