Biomechanical evaluation of intraosseous distal radioulnar joint prosthesis: A prosthesis designed based on Sauvé-Kapandji procedure.

Introduction: To avoid the DRUJ surgical procedures disadvantages, a new intraosseous distal radioulnar prosthesis designed on Sauvé-Kapandji procedure has been introduced. Stability of the prosthesis and biomechanics are to be evaluated in this article.

Materials And Methods: On a cadaveric study, during placement of the prosthesis, biometry of the bones, prosthesis stability (in axial and lateral tractions, wrist pronation and supination, and squeeze test), wrist range of motion before and after implantation, and radiographic evaluation were done on 16 cadavers.

Introduction and Early Outcomes of Intraosseous Distal Radioulnar Joint Prosthesis: A Pilot Study and a Technique on a New Design of the Sauvé-Kapandji Procedure.

Background: Different surgical procedures have been proposed for the treatment of Distal Radioulnar Joint (DRUJ) arthrosis and other conditions. This study aimed to introduce a new design of DRUJ prosthesis based on the Sauvé-Kapandji procedure followed by the evaluation of its short-term results. Darrach and Sauvé-Kapandji techniques are two well-known salvage procedures.

Effect of hydroxychloroquine on COVID-19 prevention in cancer patients undergoing treatment: a structured summary of a study protocol for a randomised controlled trial.

Objectives: In this study, we investigate the effect of hydroxychloroquine on the prevention of Novel Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) in cancer patients being treated.

Trial Design: This is a multi-centre, two-arm, parallel-group, triple-blind, phase 2-3 randomised controlled trial.

Participants: All patients over the age of 15 from 5 types of cancer are included in the study.
