Calcific tendinosis of flexor carpi radialis as a cause of wrist pain.

Calcific tendinosis is characterized by the deposition of calcium hydroxyapatite crystals within the substance of the tendon. We present a case of a 52-year-old female who presented with a 6-month history of right wrist pain, along with a palpable and tender lump in the region of the flexor carpi radialis tendon at the level of the distal radius. Radiographs confirmed the presence of calcific tendinosis of the flexor carpi radialis tendon.

The height-to-width index for the assessment of femoral head deformity following osteonecrosis in the treatment of developmental dysplasia.

Background: The principal complications that follow the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip are redislocation and growth disturbance of the femoral head and neck as a result of osteonecrosis of the femoral epiphysis. Growth disturbance secondary to osteonecrosis is difficult to determine until long after the treatment episode has passed. Consequently, the treating surgeon has little early feedback regarding the long-term consequences of management interventions.

Post-operative mortality related to waiting time for hip fracture surgery.

Unlabelled: In this retrospective study, we looked at the difference in 1 year mortality between two groups of patients who were operated for fracture of the hip.

Patients And Methods: In cohort 1, 72% of the patients underwent surgery on the same day of admission, 15% of the patients were operated on the next day, the remaining 13% of the patients waited more than 1 day for surgery. The mean waiting time was 0.
