-
To test distal forearm stability after 3 surgical procedures for distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) arthritis. ⋯ Knowledge of baseline biomechanical characteristics of DRUJ arthritis procedures will aid surgical decision-making and patient counseling.
-
Comparative Study
An anatomical basis for endoscopic cubital tunnel release and associated clinical outcomes.
To study the ulnar nerve in fresh-frozen cadavers as related to endoscopic release of the cubital tunnel and to present a retrospective review of patients treated with decompression via endoscopic visualization. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
-
To present our experience with vascularized bone grafting based on the 1,2-intercompartmental supraretinacular artery for the management of established scaphoid nonunion and to investigate the efficacy of graft immobilization with a combination of Kirschner wires and transarticular external fixation. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
-
Comparative Study
Long-nerve grafts and nerve transfers demonstrate comparable outcomes for axillary nerve injuries.
To compare the functional and EMG outcomes of long-nerve grafts to nerve transfers for complete axillary nerve palsy. ⋯ Therapeutic III.
-
To evaluate union and complication rates associated with the use of 2 headless compression screws and bone grafting for the treatment of scaphoid nonunions. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
