OBJECTIVE: Diabetes mellitus is one of the most common endocrine diseases with micro-vascular complications and is a common cause of polyneuropathy. We studied the effect of enalapril on electrophysiologic criteria and clinical symptoms of patients with type II diabetes and sensory neuropathy. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A double blind study was conducted on 45 Patients with type II diabetes and ne...

Aim: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common in elderly population. In this study, we aimed to evaluate changes radiological parameters patients treated conservatively for distal according fracture types and age groups.Methods: Patients who received conservative treatment between 10 January 2015 2019 were retrospectively screened. Fractures divided Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Osteosynthe...

Background As the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) anchors the distal radius to the ulna via the radioulnar ligament (RUL), a severely displaced distal fragment of the radius may be associated with a foveal avulsion of the TFCC. The purpose of this retrospective study was to assess, radiographically and arthroscopically, the relationship between displacement of the radius, the ulnar sty...

Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most well-known and frequent form of median nerve entrapment, and accounts for 90% of all entrapment neuropathies. Entrapment neuropathies of the ulnar nerve are relatively common with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow more prevalent than ulnar neuropathy at the wrist. The diagnosis of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is usually confirmed in a relatively straight – ...

Twenty nine patients with distal radius fractures treated various modalities including LCP and K-wire fixation below elbow cast from September 2018 to May 2019 prospectively, follow up period of 6 months. Functional outcome each patient was assessed based on DASH score Radiological using at weeks, 3 months The this study states that there is positive correlation exists between radiological func...

Background and Objectives: There are different types of vascular access. We compared the patency rate for six months in ulnar-basilic fistula and Radio-Cephalic fistula for vascular access in hemodialysis patients.   Methods: The study was performed on 60 patients of 50.6±13.5 years of age with end-stage renal failure undergoing hemodialysis from 2012-2014 in Imam Ali hospital in Zahedan. Pat...

The aim of this study was to find out whether number and position of K-wires influence the stability of distal radius fractures treated by percutaneous wire fixation. Patients who underwent K-wire fixation for unstable fractures of the distal radius over a period of three years were included in this retrospective study. Radiographs taken immediately after the procedure and radiographs taken aft...
