Acute exertional compartment syndrome of the superficial posterior compartment of the leg secondary to minor soft tissue injury is rare. This case series highlights the risk of misdiagnosis as deep venous thrombosis, followed by inadvertent anticoagulation. The delay in management did fortunately not lead to catastrophic consequences. Clinicians must not dismiss the possibility of an acute exer...

BACKGROUND Soft tissue injuries associated with distal radius fractures have been reported by some authors. Arthroscopy can be used to evaluate the condition of the articular surface and intracarpal soft tissues and as an aid to treatment. There are three intracarpal soft tissues of particular importance: the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), the scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL...

A major pathway of closed soft-tissue injury is failure of microvascular perfusion combined with a persistently enhanced inflammatory response. We therefore tested the hypothesis that hypertonic hydroxyethyl starch (HS/HES) effectively restores microcirculation and reduces leukocyte adherence after closed soft-tissue injury. We induced closed soft-tissue injury in the hindlimbs of 14 male isofl...

UNLABELLED Age-based differences in fall type and neuroanatomy in infants and toddlers may affect clinical presentations and injury patterns. OBJECTIVE Our goal is to understand the influence of fall type and age on injuries to help guide clinical evaluation. DESIGN/SETTING/PARTICIPANTS Retrospectively, 285 children 0-48 months with accidental head injury from a fall and brain imaging betwe...

Preservation of the soft tissue is of particular importance in the care of pilon fractures. Improper soft tissue management has been attributed to high rates of nonunion, nerve injury, and failures (1–12). Traditional open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) of pilon fractures allows for direct visualization of the fracture(s) but is criticized for the large exposure and periosteal stripping. As...

brain injury has a multiple pathophysiology for which there is no definite treatment. in this regard, tissue engineering is one of the probable strategies for repair of damaged tissue. but creating a proper model for testing the engineered products faced some difficulties, specially, when we want to evaluate the effects of a product on the volume of injury. the current brain injury methods coul...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were: (i) to determine whether the severity of post-hemiplegic shoulder subluxation in stroke patients correlates with soft-tissue injury; and (ii) to determine the shoulder subluxation measurement cut-off points that are indications for further ultrasound examination for soft-tissue injuries in these patients. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PATIENTS A total ...

Distal radius fractures account for approximately 15% of all fractures in adults. Care of these fractures is associated with a myriad of complications. This review focuses on the soft tissue complications encountered during the management of distal radius fractures, including tendon injury, nerve dysfunction, vascular compromise, skin problems, compartment syndrome, complex regional pain syndro...

High energy bone fractures resulting from impact trauma are often accompanied by subcutaneous soft tissue injuries, even if the skin remains intact. There is evidence that such closed soft tissue injuries affect the healing of bone fractures, and vice versa. Despite this knowledge, most impact trauma studies in animals have focussed on bone fractures or soft tissue trauma in isolation. However,...

Facial trauma can involve soft tissue injuries such as burns, lacerations, bruises and even fractures of the facial bones nasal jaw well injury to eye. Symptoms are specific type that be either signs inflammation or changes in definition. have potential cause temporary deviations delineation permanent disfigurement structures.
