Radial nerve at Fhrose's arcade: a new technique of release under total ultrasound guidance. First experience.

Radial nerve compression at the arcade of Frohse is a rare but significant condition that typically presents with pain primarily after exertion and at night on the dorsal side of the forearm, more distally than tennis elbow pain, and weakness of the wrist extensors and the long fingers and thumb extensors. Traditional treatment often involves open surgery, resulting in significant scarring. This study introduces a novel percutaneous radial nerve release technique under complete ultrasound guidance and highlights its efficacy and safety.

Less than 1.5cm shortening in clavicle midshaft fracture has long-term functional impact.

Introduction: Mediolateral shortening is a risk in treatment of clavicle shaft fracture, and can lead to scapular dyskinesis and shoulder dysfunction. Many studies advocated surgical treatment if shortening exceeds 15mm.

Hypothesis: Clavicle shaft shortening of less than 15mm has negative impact on shoulder function at more than 1 year's follow-up.

Do Modular Dual Mobility Cups Offer a Reliable Benefit? Minimum 5-Year Follow-Up of 102 Cups.

Background: Among various options suggested to prevent hip instability after total hip replacement, the MDM-tritanium (modular dual mobility) cup features a cobalt-chrome liner (CoCr) positioned in a titanium acetabular shell and matched with a mobile insert in highly cross-linked annealed X3 polyethylene. The purpose of this study aimed to confirm whether there was no significant release of ions (Co and Cr) or higher occurrence of dislocation or even cases of aseptic loosening of the cementless shell with the use of MDM-tritanium cups at minimum of 5-year follow-up.

Methods: The clinical study was carried out on a homogeneous consecutive and nonselective series with 102 MDM cups (98 patients) implanted in 2 centers.

Value of Longitudinal Strain to Identify Wild-Type Transthyretin Amyloidosis in Patients With Aortic Stenosis.

Background: Wild-type transthyretin-related amyloidosis (ATTRwt) and degenerative aortic stenosis (AS) are both age-related. Diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) among patients with AS may be difficult due to overlapping morphological and functional criteria. The aim of this study was to describe an echocardiographic longitudinal strain (LS) pattern among patients with AS with and without ATTRwt.

Left ventricular assessment in patients with systemic light chain amyloidosis: a 3-dimensional speckle tracking transthoracic echocardiographic study.

Cardiac involvement in systemic light chain (AL) amyloidosis carries a poor prognosis mainly through involvement of the left ventricular (LV) myocardium. Despite its limitations, two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography (2D-TTE) remains the main tool used for the assessment of LV systolic function in AL patients. We hypothesize that 3D-TTE coupled with speckle tracking imaging allows earlier detection of LV systolic dysfunction than 2D-TTE in AL amyloidosis.
