Relation between the dash score and radiographic evaluation of the wrist in patients with wrist fracture.

Traditionally, the assessment of distal radius fracture outcomes has been based on radiological measurements and self-evaluation scores. However, there is uncertainty regarding how accurately these measurements reflect the patient's perception of their outcome. In this study, we examined the correlation between radiological measurements and patient-perceived outcomes using the Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder, and Hand outcome (DASH) score.

Vitamin D level and low-energy fracture risk in children and adolescents: a population-based case-control study of 45 cases.

The objective of this study is to document the rate of vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency among children with low-energy fractures and compare it to fracture-free control group. We included all children under 15 years presenting to the emergency department with low-energy fractures; controls were children without history of fractures from the outpatient department. Conventional X-ray and laboratory blood tests were performed.

Carpal tunnel syndrome secondary to tumoral calcinosis: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is the most prevalent peripheral nerve entrapment disease. Its pathophysiology is multifactorial and defined as idiopathic in most cases. We present a rare case of CTS secondary to tumoral calcinosis and then searched the English literature to present the details of all published cases with this entity.

Noncontiguous multifocal Brucella spondylodiscitis with paravertebral abscess: a case report.

Background: Human brucellosis is the most frequently contracted zoonotic infection worldwide. Although being an old disease that carries minimal risks of mortality, it remains a source of considerable sequelae and disability. However, noncontiguous multifocal spinal involvement is an exceptional presentation of brucellosis; additionally, an associated paravertebral abscess is extremely rare.

The therapeutic role of motor imagery during the acute phase after total knee arthroplasty: a pilot study.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to measure physical and functional outcomes during the acute postoperative recovery in patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty. Motor imagery has been shown to decrease pain and promote functional recovery after both neurological and peripheral injuries. Yet, whether motor imagery can be included as an adjunct effective method into physical therapy programs following total knee arthroplasty remains a working hypothesis that we aim to test in a pilot study.

Traumatic inferior hip dislocation: a rare adult case with ipsilateral bifocal hip fracture.

Inferior dislocation is a rare type of hip dislocation, especially in adults. Few cases have been reported; most of them were isolated. This is the case of a traumatic adult hip dislocation after a road traffic accident.

Joint line restoration during revision total knee arthroplasty: an accurate and reliable method.

During revision total knee arthroplasty, the joint line is frequently malpositioned, due to the disappearance of the anatomical landmarks following previous interventions. This leads to decreased clinical outcome and increased risk of re-intervention. Many methods have been proposed to restore the joint line, but none of them has shown itself to be reliable.

The therapeutic role of motor imagery on the functional rehabilitation of a stage II shoulder impingement syndrome.

Purpose: Motor imagery (MI) has been used as a complementary therapeutic tool for motor recovery after central nervous system disease and peripheral injuries. However, it has never been used as a preventive tool. We investigated the use of MI in the rehabilitation of stage II shoulder impingement syndrome.

Incidence of piriformis tendon preservation on the dislocation rate of total hip replacement following the posterior approach: a series of 226 cases.

Background: Dislocation is a feared complication following total hip replacement (THR). While repairing the piriformis tendon after THR reduces dislocation, we analyze in this study the effect of piriformis tendon preservation on reducing the dislocation rate.

Material And Methods: 226 THRs were done following the usual posterior approach and by the same surgeon.
