– See: EMG – Nerve Injury Discussion: – remember that in any case of presumed nerve injury, always consider whether an isolated compartment syndrome had occured; – neuropraxia: – least severe injury, is characterized by a conduction block (focal conduction block); – conduction across the zone of nerve injury is inhibited, however, conduction within the nerve both proximal and … Read more
– See: Total Hip Replacement Menu: – arterial injuries: in THR – nerve injury – nerve palsy from TKR – Discussion: – incidence of sciatic (tibial and/or peroneal) &/or femoral palsies after THR ranges from 1-3%; – incidence of nerve palsy is 1-2% of primary … Read more
– See: – Carpal Tunnel – Cervical Disc Disease – Cubital Tunnel Syndrome – Nerve Entrapment: – w/ entrapment, nerve fibers are not affected uniformly; – superficially located fibers tend to bear the brunt of compression, while central fibers are relatively spared; – large diameter, heavily myelinated fibers are more sensitive to compression than poorly … Read more
– Neomycin alone and a mixture of Bacitracin and polymxin should be effective against all strains except proteus; – Evidence shows that 0.5% Neomycin solution irrigation may not decrease infection, however, gentle scrubbing with this solution will dramatically decrease infections; (0.1% concentration is too weak); – the side effects of these topical ATB … Read more
– Discussion: – most common form of septic arthritis in young adults; – women are affected two to four times as often as men; – disseminated infection may occur more frequently in women because gonorrhea in women is often asymptomatic, allowing for dissemination before symptoms … Read more
– Discussion: – necrotizing fascitits is any necrotizing soft tissue infection spreading along fascial planes, with or without overlying cellulitis; – rapidly progressive inflammation and necrosis of subQ tissues and deep layer of superficial fascia with sparing of deep fascia and muscle; – also called Meleney ulcer, NF is severe manifestation of … Read more

Navicular stress fractures: outcomes of surgical and conservative management Outcome of conservative and surgical management of navicular stress fracture in athletes. Eighty-six cases proven with computerized tomography. Clinical and … Read more
– Discussion: – frx of body of navicular may be associated w/ mid-tarsal joint injuries; – classification: 3 types: – coronal plane fracture w/ no angulation of the forefoot; – displaced frx require ORIF w/ lag screw fixation; … Read more
– See: Partial ACL Deficiency: – Discussion: – left untreated, the torn ACL leads to anterior laxity, rotatory instabilities, and meniscal tears; – there is a definite increase in X-ray changes of DJD – 1/3 of pts w/ isolated ACL injuries will show minimal instability – 2/3 … Read more
