Anteroposterior (AP) and lateral radiographs of 20 healthy volunteers' forearms were taken in three views (full supination, neutral rotation, and full pronation). Radial head maximum diameter and angular measurements between the axis of forearm rotation (AFR) and the radial neck axis (RNA) were made with digital calipers. Repeated-measures analysis of variance revealed a statistically significant difference between the three AP groups, with supination having the smallest values (P <.0001), but not for the lateral groups (P =.128). Comparison of the AFR-RNA angle between the AP supinated position and the three lateral views revealed a statistically significant difference among all of the pairs, with the AP supinated position having the smallest values. The RNA most closely approximated the AFR with the forearm in the supinated position. For best approximating the native AFR during radial head replacement, the cut should be made perpendicular to the neck axis with the elbow extended and the forearm in the supinated position.

Relationship of skeletal muscle mass, length of sports experience, and sexual maturity with bone density and geometry in adolescent athletes.
J Clin Densitom
January 2025
Santa Catarina State University, Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. Electronic address:
Objective: To identify the relationship between length of sports experience, muscle mass, and sexual maturity with bone mineral density (BMD) and geometry in adolescent basketball and track and field athletes.
Method: The study included adolescent (11-18 years) athletes, of both sexes, who practiced basketball (n = 26) or track and field (n = 24). Skeletal muscle mass was measured by bioelectrical impedance analysis.

The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of papillary muscle (PPM) infarction on left atrial and ventricular strain parameters in patients with non-anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NA-STEMI) using cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). This retrospective study performed CMR scans on 88 consecutive patients with NA-STEMI (68 males, 65 ± 10.05 years).

Background: Limitations to using the knee as donor cartilage include cartilage thickness mismatch and donor site morbidity. Using the radial head as donor autograft for capitellar lesions may allow for local graft harvest without distant donor site morbidity. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility of performing local osteochondral autograft transfer from the nonarticular cartilaginous rim of the radial head to the capitellum.

Background: The paramedian forehead flap (PMFF) has been well established for use in reconstruction limited to a single nasal outer layer defect and has recently gained recognition as an acceptable alternative to traditional methods of lower eyelid reconstruction. The use of a single, pedicled PMFF for the reconstruction of more than one defect has yet to be described.
Methods: A 59-year-old male patient was originally diagnosed with large squamous cell carcinoma resulting in radical resection and ipsilateral neck dissection.
Functional soft palate reconstruction.

Department of Plastic, Reconstructive, Aesthetic, and Hand Surgery, University Hospital Basel, Basel, Switzerland.
Background: The excision of oropharyngeal carcinoma of more than 50% of the soft palate followed by static reconstruction may result in functional deficits, including velopharyngeal insufficiency, swallowing, and speech difficulties. We describe a functional soft palate reconstruction technique aimed at restoring aeromechanical and acoustic functions, enabling swallowing without nasal regurgitation and speech with low nasalance.
Material And Methods: We developed a new operative technique, using muscle transfer and a free flap to create a dynamic reconstruction.
