Seven cases of arthroscopic radial head excision were followed up and their functional outcome evaluated. In this series, there appeared to be a significant improvement in the functional range of movements and pain scores at rest and during work. There were no complications. Arthroscopic radial head excision is a safe procedure with a good functional outcome. A final conclusion can be drawn onl...

The objective of this study was to describe muscle strength, ankle-foot orthosis (AFO) use, walking ability, participation and quality of life in patients with peroneal nerve injury. A historic cohort study (n=27) was performed with a median follow-up time of 61 months (inter quartile range 37-91). Muscle strength was assessed using the Medical Research Council scale. Perceived walking ability ...

This paper describes functional outcome of a population of lower limb amputees five months after amputation compared with their preoperative functional abilities and studies the relationship between potential determinants and functional outcome. Twenty out of 26 patients who underwent a lower limb amputation between December 1993 and August 1994 in a general hospital in Amsterdam were included ...

background: despite a general consensus regarding the impacts of early excision and grafting (ee and g) of burned hand on the reducing of treatment cost and hospital stay, there are some controversial issues about its eff ect on the outcome of hand function.th is study conducted to compare the results of the ee and g and delayed skin grafting in deep hand burns regarding the hand functional out...

Background: Clinicians and researchers commonly use responsive outcome measures to interpret changes in a patient's condition as a result of an intervention. This study was conducted to assess the ability of the Persian version of Neck Disability Index and Functional Rating Index to detect responsiveness in the patients with neck pain.Methods: A diagnostic accuracy study was done in Ahvaz, Iran...

background: trans-scaphoid perilunate fracture-dislocation and perilunate dislocations are among uncommon injuries, most commonly seen in young patients due to high energy trauma. the treatment can be achieved either surgically by open reduc tion and internal fixation or closed reduction and casting.   methods: to compare surgical versus non-operative results of treatment of trans-scaphoid peri...
