The 'Quartered Head Technique': a simple, reliable way of maintaining leg length and offset during total hip arthroplasty.

Methods: 124 hips were included in the analysis.

Simultaneous 4 Compartment Pressure Monitoring in Diagnosis of Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome of the Forearm.

The authors describe a technique for bilateral simultaneous measuring of forearm compartments pressure for assessment of suspected chronic exertional compartment syndrome of the forearm. Under ultrasound guidance, 18-G cannulae were inserted bilaterally into the superficial flexor and dorsal extensor forearm compartments. The imaging was used to confirm safe subfascial placement, and ensured no kinking or catching on the muscle bellies during dynamic movements.
