Dorsal vascularized grafting for scaphoid nonunion: a comparison of two surgical techniques.

Objectives: To compare the radiographic and functional outcomes of 2 surgical techniques for treating scaphoid nonunion.

Design: Randomized prospective study.

Patients/participants: Researchers assessed the outcomes every 2 weeks until bone healing and at discharge.

Scaphoid nonunion advanced collapse classifications: a reliability study.

Watson & Ballet and Vender staging systems are widely known for classifying SNAC wrist osteoarthritis. Despite of its day-to-day use, no assessment for its agreement was performed. To Evaluate the intra and interobserver agreement for these classification systems.

High-energy extracorporeal shockwave therapy in a patellar tendon animal model: a vascularization focused study.

Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of high-energy extracorporeal shockwave therapy on tendon angiogenesis in the patellar tendons of rabbits. We sought to investigate whether different voltage and number pulses modify the angiogenesis pattern.

Introduction: High-energy extracorporeal shockwave therapy is an option in the treatment of orthopedic diseases such as chronic tendonitis.
