Outcomes following modified oblique medial epicondylectomy for treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome.
To quantify and define objective and patient-rated outcomes after our modification of medial epicondylectomy for the treatment of cubital tunnel syndrome. Although medial epicondylectomy has been previously studied, data are lacking regarding elbow-specific outcomes after our technique that aims to minimize complications historically associated with medical epicondylectomy. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
-
To give a detailed clinical outcome analysis of a consecutive series of patients treated arthroscopically for traumatic triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) foveal tears. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
-
To analyze the management of Seymour fractures (juxta-epiphyseal fractures of the terminal phalanx of the finger in conjunction with flexion deformity at the fracture site, laceration of the nail bed, and frequently ungual subluxation) and to determine clinical and radiographic results following operative or conservative treatment. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
-
To describe fractures revealed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a series of skeletally mature patients with radial wrist pain after an acute injury and clinically suspected to have a scaphoid fracture. Additionally, we attempted to assess the diagnostic value of radiographs and computed tomography (CT) in patients with scaphoid and other carpal fractures verified by MRI. ⋯ Diagnostic I.
-
To assess the ability of volar locked plating to achieve and maintain normal radiographic parameters for articular stepoff, volar tilt, radial inclination, ulnar variance, and radial height in distal radius fractures. ⋯ Therapeutic IV.
