How Mental Health Can Affect Recovery from a Complex Traumatic Hand Injury
Complex traumatic hand injuries have been identified as stressful and life-changing events. Given the importance of the ability to use the hand in all aspects of life, individuals with complex traumatic hand injuries may experience serious consequences in physical, psychological, and overall social wellbeing.
Description of a new surgical approach for Elbow Arthroplasty: Selective Triceps-On Medial Paraolecranon (STOMP) Approach
Surgical approaches for total elbow arthroplasty (TEA) are broadly divided into two groups; “triceps-off” and “triceps-on” approaches. Traditional “triceps-off” approaches provide excellent visualization for TEA; however, they carry a risk of triceps failure and require triceps protecting rehabilitation protocols.
Ulnar Nerve Management in Complex Elbow Dislocations: A Retrospective Monocentric Study
The ulnar nerve’s unique anatomy makes it vulnerable to complex elbow dislocations. Depending on the nature of the injury, the clinical treatment and outcomes related to the nerve may vary. Unfortunately, the current literature provides limited and fragmented information on managing the ulnar nerve and the incidence of neuropathy in complex elbow dislocations.
7 Simple Wrist Strengthening Exercises
Wrist strengthening exercises make the wrist muscles stronger, and improve the flexibility and range of motion of your wrist joints and tendons. People who may benefit from wrist-strengthening exercises include athletes such as boxers, gymnasts, and tennis players. Workers at risk of carpal tunnel syndrome also may benefit from exercise to prevent injury.
Estimating elbow loading conditions through the motion behaviors of subchondral bone density during joint movements
Evaluating complicated stress across the elbow under joint motion remains difficult. Here, we aimed to evaluate the distribution of the subchondral bone density in the normal elbow bones and further characterize their spatial relationships during elbow motion to estimate the loading stress across the articular surface using three-dimensional computed tomography bone models.
