Author(s): Lin, Jonathan; Chen, Johnathan | Abstract: The sagittal band is a sheet of connective tissue that provides lateral stability to the extensor digitorum tendon at metacarpal joint. It one three components dorsal hood. Rupture bands can lead contralateral subluxation or dislocation tendon. Closed injury commonly termed ‘boxer knuckle’ as it has been historically described in professiona...

The movements of the carpal bones during the scaphoid shift test were evaluated radiographically in 60 wrists. The clinical results were graded according to the degree of subluxation of the scaphoid and pain on the dorsum of the wrist. Lateral radiographs at rest and under stress were taken and the relative movements of the scaphoid with respect to the radius and lunate, and the rotation of the...

this cross-sectional study is conducted to determine the prevalence of asymptomatic cervical spine subluxation in rheumatoid arthritis patients by plain radiographs and its relation to demographic and clinical characteristics, disease activity measures and medications. 100 rheumatoid arthritis patients (18 male and 82 female) were selected randomly, according to the american college of rheumato...

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease involving multiple joints. The cervical spine is often affected, and cases involving atlantoaxial joint can lead to instability. Anterior atlantoaxial subluxation in RA patients can lead to posterior neck pain or occipital headache because of compression of the C2 ganglion or nerve. Here, we report the successful treatment of a RA pati...

A case of hamate dislocation is presented. This is associated with subluxation of the fourth and fifth metacarpi bones with the hamate in a dorsal direction. No other capital or metacarpus injury was involved. The mechanism of injury was a direct crushing force. A close reduction was attempted successfully with percutaneous K-wire fixation. These were removed after 6 weeks and physiotherapy con...

Madelung's deformity results from a growth defect in the palmar and ulnar region of the distal radius. It presents as an excessively inclined radial joint surface, inducing "spontaneous progressive palmar subluxation of the wrist". The principle of reverse wedge osteotomy (RWO) consists in the reorientation of the radial joint surface by taking a circumferential bone wedge, the base of which is...

Discussion about the treatment of hallux valgus is largely confined to the merits of various operations on the big toe itself, and the problem of associated metatarsalgia is given rather less detailed consideration. Metatarsalgia and secondary deformities of the lesser toes are common in association with hallux valgus. Bonney and Macnab (1952) recorded metatarsalgia in 45 per cent of the cases ...

Objective: To report an improvement in quality of life, sleep and attention following reduction of an upper cervical vertebral subluxation in a patient with Attention Deficit Disorder. Clinical Features: A 19-year-old male presented for chiropractic care with complaints of Attention Deficit Disorder and chronic dorsal and lumbar pain. Intervention and Outcomes: National Upper Cervical Chiroprac...

A classification and plan of management for carpal dislocations are presented, based upon the following basic premises: perilunate and lunate dislocations are different stages of the same injury and are therefore managed identically; displacement may be either dorsal or volar; anatomic restoration of the 3 key elements (scaphoid, lunate, and capitate) is essential. Following initial closed redu...

OBJECTIVE To determine the applicability, complications, and long-term functional outcome of the Kishigami Atlantoaxial Tension Band (Kishigami AATB) for management of congenital and traumatic atlantoaxial (AA) instability in toy breed dogs. STUDY DESIGN; Case series. ANIMALS Toy breed dogs (n=8) with congenital or traumatic AA instability. METHODS The AA joint of each dog was surgically st...
