Objective: The aim of this study was to use ultrasonography for the diagnosis and confirmation of Pulled Elbow treatment.Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study initiated in 2014 and continued until 2015. We used simple sampling method and recruited 60 samples among patients aged 4 months to 6 years. The apparatus used in this study was an ultraso...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of elbow and forearm range of motion on the distal excursion of the long head of the biceps (LHB). METHODS The distal excursion of the LHB after tenotomy of the shoulders of eight cadavers was ascertained by measuring the distance between a point marked out on the LHB, 3 cm from the anterolateral border of the acromion, and its position at different degrees...

We reviewed 20 patients who had undergone a Coonrad-Morrey total elbow arthroplasty after resection of a primary or metastatic tumour from the elbow or distal humerus between 1980 and 2002. Eighteen patients underwent reconstruction for palliative treatment with restoration of function after intralesional surgery and two after excision of a primary bone tumour. The mean follow-up was 30 months ...

OBJECTIVE to present our results from the minimally invasive approach in the treatment of 56 consecutive Gartland types II and III supracondylar fractures of the humerus in school-age patients. METHOD Including criteria were isolated supracondylar fractures Gartland types II and III, in the period from January 2011 to November 2011. We admitted 56 children aged four to 12 years (mean 6.9 y.)....

INTRODUCTION A small proportion of simple elbow dislocations are grossly unstable and joint congruence is not maintained after reduction. In this rare situation operative treatment is indicated. We describe a new intra articular reconstruction that utilises a slip of triceps tendon to provide immediate stability to the elbow. METHODS We assessed 20 cadaveric elbows, measuring the length of tr...

The corticospinal system plays an important role in control of voluntary movements in primates. Recently, we demonstrated that the effectiveness of this system is depressed after maximal exercise. Because the depression was absent after antidromic activation of the motoneurons, we argued that transmission across corticospinal synapses was involved. Here, we explore the possible functional conse...

Heterotopic ossification is a common complication of Orthopaedic Trauma Association (OTA) type C distal humerus fractures and ulnohumeral fracture dislocations. The purpose of this study was to precisely define the incidence of heterotopic ossification following major elbow trauma and to identify risk factors for the development of clinically significant heterotopic ossification and for surgica...

Abstract. Shape memory alloy (SMA) is a kind of active deformation material with self-sensing and driving ability. It very similar to the performance human muscles, through temperature changes produce phase output force displacement, it has ability restore initial shape size. The combination SMA wearable robotic technology advantages being light weight, energy-saving, having great human–exoskel...

Introduction: Lateral tendinosis of the elbow, sometimes called tennis refers to degenerative process in common source extended group forearm muscles. In orthopedic clinics, it is most prevalent cause elbow discomfort and pain. The condition caused by repeated muscular motions a typical discomfort.
 Objectives: To assess clinical functional outcomes autologous blood injection for treatment...

The aim of this study was to detect qualitative changes in the structure of coordinative variable (elbow angle) fluctuations during a quasi-isometric exercise performed until exhaustion. Seven physical education students performed a quasi-isometric arm-curl exercise holding an Olympic bar (weight: 80% 1RM) with an initial elbow flexion of 90° three times over a period of 4 weeks. They were enco...
