Surgical Reconstruction for Upper-Extremity Paralysis Following Acute Flaccid Myelitis.

Unlabelled: Acute flaccid myelitis (AFM) is a debilitating illness that is defined by the sudden onset of flaccid paralysis in the extremities with spinal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) demonstrating a longitudinal lesion confined to the gray matter. The purpose of this study was to report the types of upper-extremity palsy and outcomes of surgical reconstruction in patients with AFM.

Methods: Eight patients with a median age at onset of 3.

Rhizarthrosis fourth grade of eaton with hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal joint.

Introduction: Restoration of thumb function with a painfree, stable, and mobile joint with preserved strength are the main goals of treatment of painful arthritis of the thumb. We present our clinical experience in surgical treatment of this disease, in its highest degree of affectation.

Presentation Of Case: A 57-year-old woman presents with a 2-year history of worsening pain at the base of her right, dominant, trapezial-metacarpal (TM) joint.

Long-term results of the retrocapital metatarsal percutaneous osteotomy for hallux valgus.

Purpose: The current trend in hallux valgus surgery is directed toward percutaneous procedures. However, no evidence that any of these methods of treatment are superior to the others has been described, excepting studies in the long term. The aim of this study was to analyse a series of patients who had undergone a percutaneous distal retrocapital osteotomy of the first metatarsal, and had been followed up for ten years.

Long-term effects of preserving or splitting the carpal ligament in carpal tunnel operation.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is treated very successfully by surgical release of the flexor retinaculum. However, in some patients, all symptoms are not resolved. Weakness in grip strength and pain in the thenar and hypothenar areas corresponding to the end of the transverse ligament after its complete section have been described as common complications of classical neurolysis of the median nerve.

Oxford phase 3 unicondylar knee arthroplasty through a minimally invasive approach: long-term results.

Purpose: Surgical treatment options for medial compartment osteoarthritis of the knee include high tibial osteotomy, total knee arthroplasty or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA), depending on the patient's age, level of physical activity and the degree of deformity.

Methods: In this study, we evaluated the long-term results of patients who underwent the Oxford cemented meniscal-bearing unicondylar knee prosthesis through a minimally invasive approach including a clinical, functional and radiographic assessment.

Results: Favourable clinical and radiological outcomes were registered overall at ten years after surgery.

[Neurolysis of the median nerve in the elderly: a long term evaluation].

Purpose: Carpal tunnel release by opening the flexor retinaculum is considered a satisfactory treatment. However, several factors, like ageing, may influence postoperative results. We present the long term outcomes in elderly patients.
