Introduction: Congenital proximal radio-ulnar synostosis is a rare congenital anomaly of the upper extremity which severely disabling as it causes severe pronation deformity. So aim this study was to assess efficacy radioulnar derotational osteotomy followed by internal fixation for treatment synostosis.Materials and Method: Between June 2018 April 2020, 11 patients with CRUS who underwent at s...

In force myography (FMG) limb movement is detected by measuring muscle contraction intensity in terms of forces. this work, FMG used to detect forearm movements i.e. flexion, extension, pronation, supination and steady-state. FMG, sensors are conventionally located at supinator/pronator muscles pronation/supination movement. paper, a new approach also including flexion/extension steady-state po...

A 26 year old male reported with gross limitation of pronation and supination of right forearm 8 week after a vehicular accident. X-Ray of the elbow showed isolated radial head dislocation without any associated fracture. It was treated with radial head excision with almost full restoration of movements postoperatively. The case is presented because of rarity of this injury and the tendency to ...

INTRODUCTION: Knee valgus during jump landing is considered to be one of the situations that may cause injury to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Decreased muscle torque during hip abduction is also reported to be a causative factor for knee valgus, as is pronation of the ankle joint (Joseph M et al. 2008). Further, knee valgus may occur when a reduction in the height of the medial longitu...

INTRODUCTION: Fractures of the distal radius are the most common fracture of both adults and children. Distal radius fractures frequently heal with residual displacement and angulation with cast treatment and often cause distal radioulnar joint dysfunction including pain, decreased rotation, weakness, and arthritis. In spite of the frequency of these injuries, the indications for surgical treat...

Eleven white male right handed violin players complained of transient muscular deficit of the extensor compartment of the left forearm during and after prolonged playing. This was associated with paraesthesiae and pain. Relief was achieved keeping the wrist and the elbow flexed, with the supinated forearm held by the contralateral hand. An anatomical study showed changes of the relationship of ...

We describe a patient who complained of jerking of the right forearm on writing. Active pronation of his arm produced several beats of pronation/supination tremor. A burst of tremor also could be elicited by tendon taps to the volar surface of the wrist, to the finger extensors, and to pectoralis major, and by forcible supination of the wrist delivered by a torque motor. The subject's writing d...

In a retrospective study of runners with a history of plantar fasciitis, we reported that these runners exhibited significantly greater peak eversion compared to the controls (Davis et al, 2003). A trend towards greater eversion velocity was also noted. Plantar fasciitis is also often associated with limitations in ankle dorsiflexion range of motion. It is believed that this limitation may lead...
