This is done by "releasing" the Quadriceps tendon and muscle from the Patella. Then after the Patellar Tendon reconstruction is done, and the Patella is in the right alignment/place, the Quadriceps muscle and tendon are then "repaired" back to the Patella in a lengthened position.

Be a part of an industry leading organization that drives the business side of healthcare. Disruption of the extensor mechanism is an infrequent but catastrophic complication after total knee arthroplasty. Treatment is technically challenging. For patellar tendon ruptures, multiple treatment options having been described with inconsistent results. Allograft tissue may provide the best means to adequately reconstruct the disrupted patellar tendon. Options for allograft reconstruction include an Achilles tendon bone block allograft or a whole extensor mechanism allograft. Important surgical principals include rigid fixation of the host allograft junction, coverage of the allograft tissue with as much autogenous tissue as possible to reduce the risk of infection, tensioning the graft in full extension, and not testing the completed repair is crucial. Current results with proper surgical technique show acceptable functional outcome for this devastating complication. Join over 150,000 members of the healthcare network in the world.

Background: Arterio-venous loop (AV-loop) graft and free functional muscle transfer (FFMT) has been reported in brachial plexus injury (BPI) with concomitant subclavian artery injury which compromised donor arterial flow for FFMT. The donor vein for constructing AV-loop graft was small saphenous vein graft. Currently there is no anatomical study about size, length and number of branching of small saphenous vein.

3 Structure and the Distribution of Forces between the Radius and Ulna in Normal Wrists. Ultrasound and MRI scans were inconclusive. No intrinsic muscle rupture was detected and no mass lesion was detected. Hypertrophy of the index intrinsic muscles was suggested. Case Report: An 11-year-old boy with Leigh syndrome was under the care of our plastic surgery unit for flexion contractures of his upper limbs. He underwent botulinum toxin injections 4 weeks previously and was undergoing tendon lengthening/release on the right side. Of note, pre-operatively he had a very tight FPL and wrist flexors but also incidentally a severe flexion deformity of his ring little and fingers which resembled a claw hand. During surgical exploration and release of the muscles, an anomalous fusiform muscle was found originating from the tendon of the FPL, heading to the ring finger and flexing the distal interphalangeal joint. The accessory muscle was divided and improved the flexion contracture. One possibility for this discrepancy was that cadaveric studies were unable to replicate the erosive and inflammatory processes of an active infection. Another possibility would be inaccurate interpretation of the dissections, as the spaces were mainly illustrated through hand-drawn images by different artists. Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine Siriraj Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. These spaces described will be illustrated by MRI images of current cases. The swelling increased in size and his overall hand function decreased, so surgical exploration was planned. At operation, the FDP tendon to the index finger and the intrinsic muscles were intact and of normal appearance. However, an accessory muscle was seen attached to the index finger FDS tendon in zone 3. A tendon ran proximally from this accessory muscle belly into the forearm.

Methods: Radiographs from a database of 49 cadaver wrists previously tested for force transfer between the radius and ulna were examined. The percentage of the compressive force through the distal ulna and radius was determined by mounting load cells to the distal radius and ulna while 22.2 N tensile forces were individually applied to the extensor carpi ulnaris, the extensor carpi radialis and brevis, the flexor carpi radialis and the flexor carpi ulnaris. Each wrist was tested in neutral flexionextension and radioulnar deviation. Methods: 44 digital collateral nerves were harvested using Brüner incisions. Digital collateral nerves were preserved in sodium chloride 0.9% at room temperature during the time between harvesting and mechanical tests (3 hours average). Each nerve was carefully glued and sutured to an emery paper frame and then positioned in the Instron machine. A tensile test at 6mm/min was made for each nerve until rupture. A correlation and independence test were applied to the values to explore the relationships between groups (each finger: thumb, index, middle, ring fingr,little finger) and between density and Young modulus. Objective: Nerve section is often present in patients with hand trauma. Section of the digital collateral nerves needs appropriate repair to regain sensibility to support physiological local forces to allow early motion in case of concomitant flexor tendon section. This study characterizes the mechanical behavior of digital collateral nerve to stablish their healthy mechanical properties. Similarly, several later papers had varying descriptions of the boundaries of the deep spaces. For example, Grodinsky (1941) performed dissections and injections on 92 hands describing many other spaces with indeterminate septa within. Kaplan (1965) observed that the "very firm septa" separating the thenar and middle palmar spaces were only seen in patients with Dupuytren's contractures. A-0672 Kanavel's Study of the Deep Spaces of the Hand, and its Relevance Today. We were initially drawn to his initial study as we noticed it was rare to come across infections of the hand that conformed to his boundaries of the deep fascial spaces in actual clinical practice. Many of the patients with palmar abscesses present with their flexor tendons encased within purulent discharge, instead of being separate from Kanavel's middle palmar space. 1 National University of Singapore, Singapore, 2 Singapore

Results: The average length of small saphenous vein taken from distal edge of lateral malleolus to the point where small saphenous vein connect to popliteal vein was cm, ranging between 22 and 44.5 cm. The average diameter of proximal and distal end was 0.6 and 0.52 cm, respectively. The average This manuscript focuses on Kanavel's dissections of the flexor tendon sheaths, deep palmar spaces, and his description of their boundaries. With international concern over antibiotic resistance, it is timely to reconsider the role of surgery preceding the availability of antibiotic medication. Therefore, better understanding of the way infections in the hands can spread is of paramount importance in managing our patients. Tamer Ali, Andrew Watts Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital, Exeter, UK.

Ronit Wollstein 1, 2, Aviv Kramer 3, Frederick Werner 4. Purpose: In the musculoskeletal system, structure dictates function and the development of pathology. Interpreting wrist structure is complicated not only by the existence of multiple joints and ligamentous structures but also by variability in bone shapes and anatomical patterns. A previous study evaluated normal plain radiographs for lunate and capitate shape in the midcarpal joint. This study identified intracarpal measurements related to lunate and wrist type.

Introduction: Anatomical variations of the flexor pollicis longus(fpl) muscle are well described, the common two being an accessory head of FPL also known as Gantzer's muscle described in 1813 and the anomalous tendon slips from the FPL to the flexor digitorum profundus(fdp) of the index and more rarely middle finger described by Linburg and Comstock in We present an anomaly not previously described in the literature where the FDP to the ring finger was found to originate from the FPL tendon, causing tight flexion contracture of both due to underlying muscle spasticity. para que sirve el clonac but to organizations fighting against sexual abuse of TEENren.
