Severe injuries involving the carpus are often characterized by multiple fractures of the various carpal bones with accompanying joint instability. Most such injuries can be managed successfully utilizing aggressive internal fixation techniques, with reasonably good prognosis for a pasture sound animal, satisfactory for breeding purposes.

ABSTRACT Primary Tuberculosis of wrist joint and carpal bone is rare, and when occurring it usually affects adults. We present a case of isolated tuberculosis of capitate bone; which was confirmed with intra-osseous tissue histopathological examination in a skeletally immature 12-year old boy. There was no signs of reactivation seen at follow-up 18 months after treatment.

Anatomical differences among squirrels are usually most evident in the comparison of flying squirrels and nongliding squirrels. This is true of wrist anatomy, probably reflecting the specializations of flying squirrels for the extension of the wing tip and control of it during gliding. In the proximal row of carpals of most squirrels, the pisiform articulates only with the triquetrum, but in fl...

BACKGROUND The carpal scaphoid is the most commonly fractured carpal bone in young adults after a fall on an outstretched arm that results in acute dorsal flexion of the wrist. However, stress fractures of the scaphoid are relatively rare. To the best of our knowledge, we describe the first case in the literature of carpal scaphoid stress fracture in a tennis player. CASE PRESENTATION An 18-y...

We have treated a total of 16 cases of advanced Kienböck's disease, stage III and IV by Lichtman's classification, with triscaphe fusion, tendon ball replacement arthroplasty after excision of lunate, proximal row carpectomy as a salvage procedure and limited wrist fusion, since 1985. All cases were followed for minimal 16 months after each operation. Tendon ball replacement arthroplasty after ...

BACKGROUND Carpal tunnel syndrome is a serious therapeutic problem and it considerably impairs the patients' quality of life. Despite many studies, the effectiveness of conservative treatment is still debatable. This study aimed to evaluate the immediate and long-term effects of conservative treatment involving ultrasound therapy combined with massage and kinesiotherapy for carpal tunnel syndro...
