Introduction: Supracondylar humerus fracture is one of the most found fractures in children. In addition to adequate fixation, role age differences clinical outcomes operative treatment supracondylar humeral still a matter debate. This study aimed compare and radiological outcome surgery cases Gartland type III fracture. Materials Methods: used cross-sectional design on population patient with ...

Results subsection. I think the wording of the last sentence in the results section, though perhaps technically accurate English wording, could be misleading to the casual reader who might not read the article in depth. I think the authors should either term the correlation of number of muscles with active trigger points to DASH score as a “low-moderate” correlation, or preferably explicitly me...

Range of motion, pain, consolidation and complications were evaluated for nine patients who underwent four-corner arthrodesis using the Quad Memory Staple (QMS) at a mean follow-up of 44 months. The mean pre-operative range of motion was 50 degrees extension, 62 degrees flexion, 9 degrees radial deviation and 24 degrees ulnar deviation. The postoperative range of motion was similar to previous ...

Subacromial impingement syndrome (SIS) occurs when the rotator cuff is compressed by the overlying acromion during shoulder flexion resulting in shoulder pain. The objective of this study was to demonstrate significant relief of symptoms and improved function from physical therapy over long-term follow-up. Eighty-one patients were followed. Patients had subjective and strength assessments at th...

The purpose of this small descriptive series was to report patient and injury characteristics, as well as, surgical and functional outcomes in patients aged 70 years or older, with operative scapular fracture. A retrospective review of 214 scapula fractures identified 6 consecutive geriatric patients aged 70 years or older and formed the basis for this study. Outcomes reported include surgical ...

The authors retrospectively reviewed 269 patients treated from September 2006 to August 2011 with the minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) technique using a universal reconstruction ribbon plate for fresh displaced midshaft fracture of the clavicle. Mean follow-up was 40.6 months. All had bony union (average healing time, 14.6 weeks). At 2-month postoperative follow-up, the mean Const...

Degenerative arthrosis of the proximal row remains a challenging problem for both patients and surgeons. Proximal row carpectomy is a motion-preserving treatment option, with studies documenting acceptable long-term outcomes. Proximal row carpectomy is an attractive option because there is no need for fusion to occur between the carpal bones, as in 4-corner fusion. As a result, laborers and smo...

Between 1998 and 2007, 22 patients with fractures of the scapula had operative treatment more than three weeks after injury. The indications for operation included displaced intra-articular fractures, medialisation of the glenohumeral joint, angular deformity, or displaced double lesions of the superior shoulder suspensory complex. Radiological and functional outcomes were obtained for 16 of 22...

BACKGROUND We aimed to evaluate the clinical and radiologic outcomes of using Sonoma WRx versus Micronail intramedullary nailing for the fixation of distal radius fractures. MATERIAL AND METHODS A total of 68 patients with primarily extra-articular and simple intra-articular fractures of the distal radius who underwent intramedullary distal radius fixation using Sonoma WRx (n=39) or Micronail (...

  Frozen shoulder is a glenohumeral joint disorder that perturbs movement because of adhesion and the existence of fibrosis in the shoulder capsule. Platelet-rich plasma can produce collagen and growth factors, which increases stem cells and consequently enhances the healing. To date, there is no evidence regarding the effectiveness of platelet-rich plasma in frozen shoulder. A 45-year-old man ...
