Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed the forearms of 36 patients who underwent surgery for distal radial fractures using an anterior locking plate via the trans-flexor carpi radialis approach.
- Results showed that after the placement of the plate, the median nerve was positioned more radially (towards the thumb side) than on the healthy side, and exhibited signs of hypertrophy and flattening.
- The findings suggest that confirming the radial positioning of the median nerve with ultrasonography before removing the plate is essential to avoid potential nerve injuries.
Article Synopsis
- Hospital healthcare workers have a high prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, but little is known about lateral epicondylitis (LE) specifically among them.
- A study involving 544 participants from a secondary emergency hospital diagnosed LE in about 5.5% of health workers using specific criteria including elbow pain and physical examinations.
- Key factors like age, occupation, and usage of personal devices were evaluated through questionnaires to understand their association with LE, but results indicated no significant differences in prevalence among staff.
