This study compares ultrasound to clinical and radiographic measurements for assessing tendon pathology associated with distal radial anterior locking plates. A total of 46 patients undergoing removal of a distal radial plate had a preoperative clinical examination, radiographs and ultrasound evaluation to detect evidence of tendon irritation. Gross changes to the tendon were assessed during plate removal. In total, 32 patients demonstrated clinical abnormality. Soong 2 position was noted in 13 patients. Ultrasound revealed tenosynovitis in nine patients, tendon fibrillation or thickening in four patients and a single case of partial discontinuity. Intraoperative assessment revealed tenosynovitis in 28 patients and tendon fibre discontinuity in eight patients. Ultrasound findings were not predictive of intraoperative tenosynovitis and discontinuity. A relationship was noted between higher Soong grade, especially grade 2, and intraoperative presence of tenosynovitis, as well as Soong grade and amount of soft-tissue coverage. This study negates our hypothesis that ultrasound is useful for identifying tendinopathy after distal radial anterior plate fixation. II.

Comparison of Marker-Based RSA and CT-RSA for Analyzing Micromotions After Distal Radius Osteotomy: A 1-Year Retrospective Study of 24 Patients.

Radiostereometric Analysis (RSA) is the most accurate method for determining early micromotions of orthopedic implants. Computed Tomography Radiostereometric Analysis (CT-RSA) is a method that can be used to determine implant and bone micromovements using low-dose CT scans. This study aimed to evaluate the reliability of the CT-RSA method in measuring the interfragmental mobility in patients who have undergone a correction osteotomy due to a malunited distal radius fracture.

Management of Isolated Radial Diaphyseal Fractures in the Paediatric Population.

Introduction Paediatric forearm fractures are common, but isolated radial diaphyseal fractures are rare, representing a small subset. Unlike fractures involving both the radius and ulna, these fractures lack well-established management guidelines. The potential for alignment loss during treatment underscores the need for specific protocols.

Objective: Targeted transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (tTENS) is a non-invasive neural stimulation technique that involves activating sensory nerve fibers to elicit tactile sensations in a distal, or referred, location. Though tTENS is a promising approach for delivering haptic feedback in virtual reality or for use by those with somatosensory deficits, it was not known how the perception of tTENS might be influenced by changing wrist position during sensorimotor tasks.
Approach: We worked with 12 able-bodied individuals and delivered tTENS by placing electrodes on the wrist, thus targeting the ulnar, median, and radial nerves, and eliciting tactile sensations in the hand.
Tendon Force and Range of Motion Changes After In Vitro Total Wrist Replacement.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, SUNY Upstate Medical University, Syracuse, NY.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine if there were differences in the tendon forces needed to cause wrist motion and in the passive range of wrist motion following total wrist replacement (TWR) using a contemporary arthroplasty design.
Methods: Eight fresh frozen cadaver arms were moved through five different wrist motions using a wrist joint simulator before and after the insertion of a TWR. Changes in the peak tendon forces and wrist range of motion were compared.
