Capitellar erosion after radial head arthroplasty: A comparative biomechanical study of operated radial head fractures on cadaveric specimens.

Background: We asked whether open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) or radial head arthroplasty (RHA), common techniques used for the confrontation of displaced or comminuted radial head fractures, are correlated with cartilage wear of the capitulum.

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that neither ORIF nor RHA are correlated with capitellar cartilage wear.

Material And Methods: On 5 cadaveric elbow specimens, osteotomies were employed to simulate radial head comminuted fractures followed with ORIF by Herbert screws.

Management of a patient with Opalski's syndrome in intensive care unit and mini review of the literature.

Stroke syndromes include a variety of syndromes with often overlapping clinical presentations. When ipsilateral hemiplegia is associated with symptoms of a lateral medullary syndrome, it corresponds to the submedullary syndrome of Opalski. A 72-year-old woman presented with sudden onset of headache, gait disturbance, and recurrent vomiting.

Cardio-renal anemia syndrome.

The interaction between chronic heart failure, chronic kidney insufficiency and anemia, form a vicious cycle, termed as the cardio-renal anemia syndrome. The interaction between these three conditions causes deterioration of the cardiac and renal function and increases anemia. Each of the three can cause or be caused by the others.
