To determine whether transfer to only the anterior branch of the axillary nerve will restore useful function after axillary nerve injury with persistent posterior deltoid and teres minor paralysis. ⋯ By quantifying the biomechanical role of muscles during submaximal movement, in addition to quantifying muscle contributions to maximal shoulder strength, we can inform preoperative planning and permit more accurate predictions of functional outcomes.

To give a detailed clinical outcome analysis of a consecutive series of patients treated arthroscopically for traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) foveal tears. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.

To analyze the management of Seymour fractures (juxta-epiphyseal fractures of the terminal phalanx of the finger in conjunction with flexion deformity at the fracture site, laceration of the nail bed, and frequently ungual subluxation) and to determine clinical and radiographic results following operative or conservative treatment. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
