Data Trace Editor – Discussion: – left thoracic curvatures are uncommon (1-2% of curves) – associatted conditions: (33 % of patients) – occult syrinx; – treatment of the scoliosis without recognition of syringomyelia and Chiari malformation can lead to paraplegia; … Read more
– Discussion: – theory based on reproduction of frx patterns in cadavera; – rationale was to guide closed treatment of fractures about the ankle; – initial position of the foot is either supination or pronation; – supination of foot places tension on lateral structures of ankle; – pronation places … Read more

– See: Synthes Plates and Screws:3.5 MM DCP, LC-DCP 3.5 MM LCP 4.5 MM LCP RECONSTRUCTION PLATE – Dynamic Compression Plates: – Properties of Titanium; – Discussion: – is used for same indications as DCP, but the improved design offers additional advantages; – undercut plate holes: undercut at each … Read more
– Discussion: – view should demonstrate the metacarpals, lunate and radius aligned – hand will appear slightly palmar flexed; – w/ proper technique, the volar pisiform will lie between the distal aspect of scaphoid and the palmar aspect of the head of the capitate; – Specific Point of Evaluation: … Read more
– Discussion: – lathyritic animals are known to have soft, deformed bones, many joint dislocations, and aortic aneurysms; – if the extracellular processes of cross-link formation are inhibited, collagen will remain soluble, which is the case in a disease known as lathyrism. – ingestion of agents called lathyrogens, including b-aminopropionitrile, causes … Read more
– origin: broad aponeurosis that originates on the spinous processesof the lower 6 thoracic and all lumbar vertebrae; posterior crest of ilium, posterior surface of sacrum, lower 3 or 4 ribs, and an attachment of the tip of the scapula; – insertion: flat tendon that twists upon itself to insert into the intertubercular groove of … Read more
– See: Retinacular Release for TKR: – Discussion: – see lateral anatomy of the knee and blood supply to the knee; – lateral release detaches patella from lateral soft tissue structures, including lateral retinaculum, fibers from tensa fascia lata muscle, & joint capsule; – a successful release should release the lateral … Read more
– Discussion: – involves impingment of nerve roots lateral to the thecal sac, as they pass thru the neural foramina; – anatomically there is compression from medial aspect of hypertrophic superior articular facet, – often associated with facet joint arthropathy (superior articular process enlargement) and disc disease; … Read more
– Discussion: Type I Fractures: – this is the wedge fracture of a lateral plateau; – it occurs mostly in young people since the dense cancellous bone of lateral plateau resists depression; – “Minimally Displaced Fractures” (from the Holh Classification) – frx shows depression … Read more
