ReSultS: Of 818 residents, a minority were integrated (35.7%) relative to independent (64.3%). During several years, integrated residents performed more procedures in hand reconstruction, congenital deformity, tendon repair, nerve repair, nerve decompression, amputation, arterial repair, and Dupuytren’s release categories (p < 0.05). There were no significant changes in fold differences between...

The classic appearance of the rheumatoid hand with swollen and often dislocated metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joints, atrophic intrinsic muscle compartments, ulnar deviating fingers, and variously hyperextended or flexed and swollen interphalangeal joints is easily recognized. The explanation of the mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of the intrinsic muscle atrophy (exclusive of the atrophy of...

THE number of ways in which rheumatoid arthritis can affect a hand and the number of different deformities it can produce are so great that in seeking a coherent view of the problem we are faced with an immediate difficulty in sorting, tidying, and classifying all these factors. In a short article it is impossible to be exhaustive and one can only illustrate principles with examples. What follo...

diagnosis of knee osteoarthritis can be confirmed based on clinical and/or radiological features. the potential of a progressive disease can be prevented or decreased by earlier recognition and correction of associated factors. obesity and alignment especially varus malalignment are recognized factors of a progressive disease. both nonpharmalogical as well as pharmacological modalities of treat...

Understandably describe historical and current spinal deformity classifications. Spinal deformities can be divided into three main categories: congenital, idiopathic, secondary deformities. Secondary is by far the largest group. Congenital are generally seen in very early ages may accompanied neural with systemic organ pathologies. Different classification systems based on clinical radiological...
