Background Multicentric carpotarsal osteolysis (MCTO), a skeletal dysplasia presents in early childhood mimicking juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Recognition of this syndrome is essential to avoid unnecessary treatment with immunosuppressive agents because of different course and treatment. Case Report A 3-year-old boy presented with swelling and restriction of right wrist joint and left ...

OBJECTIVE To correlate morphological findings of idiopathic carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with the function of the median nerve. METHODS In this study, 105 wrists of 105 women patients with idiopathic CTS, and 36 wrists of 36 female volunteers were subjected to nerve conduction studies and MRI. Cross sectional area, signal intensity ratio, and the flattening ratio of the median nerve, carpal t...

In extant birds, the hand is permanently abducted towards the ulna, and the wrist joint can bend extensively in this direction to fold the wing when not in use. Anatomically, this asymmetric mobility of the wrist results from the wedge-like shape of one carpal bone, the radiale, and from the well-developed convexity of the trochlea at the proximal end of the carpometacarpus. Among the theropod ...

Ectrodactyly is a rare anomaly seen in the appendicular skeleton and characterized by cleft or split between bone soft tissue distal regions of extremities. may be associated with absence hypoplasia several carpal-metacarpal bones, phalanx duplication, metacarpal synostosis. In this case report, 2-years-old mixed breed male dog was presented withhold up left forelimb inspectional abnormality cl...

We studied the extent to which intra-articular hyaluronic acid (HA) administered to horses with experimentally induced synovitis in the third middle carpal joint altered cartilage proteoglycans (PGs) and the biomechanical properties of the third carpal bone. Intra-articular HA (Hylartin-V) was administered to the middle carpal joints of healthy horses before and after the induction of synovitis...

Force transmission across the wrist during a grasping maneuver of the hand was simulated for three children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and for one healthy age-matched child. Joint reaction forces were estimated using a series of springs between articulating bones. This method (i.e., rigid body spring modeling) has proven useful for examining loading profiles for normally aligned w...

OBJECTIVES To report the application and clinical outcome of the treatment of radial carpal bone fracture in five dogs using a variably-pitched, headless cannulated compression screw (Acutrak). METHODS Arthroscopy was performed prior to surgical repair in three cases. In two cases, a fissure within the radial carpal bone was more clearly apparent when oblique indirect illumination was employe...
