Percutaneous coronary intervention is generally performed using the radial artery approach, and in recent years, the radial artery approach has also been used more and more for endovascular treatment. Given this trend, the radial artery approach is also preferable for lower limb angiography when considering patient burden. However, in the case of type III aortic arch morphology, it can be difficult to advance the catheter into the descending aorta using the radial artery approach. In such cases, we have a method for guiding the catheter into the lower limb arteries using the radial artery approach. We were able to perform the procedure without complications in all three cases by reversing the Judkins right 4.0 catheter at the aortic valve, guiding the guidewire to the lower limb artery, and then advancing the catheter to perform lower limb angiography.

ObjectivesThis study investigated the associations between Five-Factor Model personality traits and balance impairment and lower limb strength.MethodsMiddle-aged and older adults (Age range: 34-104 years; >27,000) from six large samples from the US and England were assessed for standing balance, lower limb strength, personality traits, sociodemographic, and health-related variables.ResultsHigher extraversion, openness, agreeableness, and conscientiousness were related to lower balance impairment risk and better lower limb strength.

To determine the choice of flap cover for patients presenting with bilateral lower limb trauma requiring free flap cover and to derive a step-wise guide to the planning of bilateral lower limb free flaps. This was a retrospective study of patients over a 20 year period from 2000 to 2020 who presented with bilateral lower limb defects following trauma and were managed with two free flaps for wound cover, done either simultaneously or sequentially in the same admission. Of the 11 cases with 22 defects, there were 3 re-explorations with 1 flap loss managed with delayed fasciocutaneous flap cover.

Background: Opioid-free anesthesia (OFA) is a relatively new approach, and many studies are still needed to assess its effectiveness and compare it to opioid-based anesthesia (OBA).
Objectives: This study investigated the use of OFA in obese patients undergoing upper limb surgery and compares its outcomes with those of OBA.Methods:This prospective randomized clinical study included 76 obese patients with a Body Mass Index (BMI) ≥ 30 kg/m² who were scheduled for upper limb surgery.

Background: Non-invasive treatment options are preferred for managing upper extremity pain due to osteoarthritis (OA). Transcutaneous pulsed radiofrequency (TcPRF) is a promising technique and appears effective in managing knee and shoulder pain.
Objectives: To investigate whether TcPRF treatment is effective in reducing pain and safe to use among patients with OA of the upper extremity.
