Phalangeal Fractures and Fingertip Injuries.

A comprehensive analysis of the assessment, diagnosis, and management of phalangeal fractures and fingertip injuries should emphasize the importance of achieving the right balance between undertreatment and overtreatment. Phalangeal injuries are complex, requiring an in-depth understanding of hand anatomy, fracture patterns, and treatment options to optimize patient outcomes. A thorough examination of proximal and middle phalangeal fractures and fingertip injuries, including those to the nail bed and distal phalanx, is important.

Scapular Stress Fracture of the Inferior Angle in an Adolescent Swimmer.

We present the case of a competitive swimmer who was 14 years, 9 months old and had a 4-month history of posterior shoulder pain. She was initially evaluated by her school's trainer and completed a 2-week rehabilitation program, but pain returned with return to swimming. After feeling a "pop" while swimming with an increase in associated shoulder pain, the patient presented for medical evaluation.

Next-generation mapping with HD Grid and HD Wave.

High-definition (HD) mapping with the Advisor HD Grid and HD Wave Solution software offers unparalleled resolution in mapping complex arrhythmias. The unique shape of a HD Grid (16 electrodes in a 4 × 4 pattern) allows for the mapping of orthogonal electrograms (EGMs). In so doing, the HD Grid catheter virtually eliminates the issue of 'bipolar blindness', a phenomenon seen when a wavefront of propagation is traveling perpendicular to a bipole pair.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings After Superior Capsule Reconstruction.

Purpose: To evaluate graft properties on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) to help improve our understanding of postoperative imaging.

Methods: We identified consecutive patients who underwent SCR by a single surgeon and who had postoperative MRIs available. MRIs were analyzed to look for common postoperative findings on imaging.
