Neuroprostheses for the upper extremity

Microsurgery, 2001
AbstractFunctional electrical stimulation (FES) neuroprostheses can be used to replace lost motor and sensory function in persons with neurological disorders. FES technology has subsequently been shown effective and safe in restoring hand function in adults with spinal cord injury.

ERGONOMICS FOR THE UPPER EXTREMITY

Hand Clinics, 1993
"Ergonomics for the Upper Extremity" provides a medical analysis framework integrated into ergonomic redesign concepts. Within the ergonomic redesign discussion, general design guidelines and standards are presented. For example, ergonomic stress on the wrist is discussed as it relates to arm function. Then, ergonomic design changes are introduced.

Aneurysms of the upper extremity

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1987
Thirty aneurysms in the upper extremity in 28 patients over the last 10 years are reviewed. Analysis showed that false aneurysms develop from penetrating trauma, while true aneurysms tend to arise in parts of the arterial tree exposed to blunt trauma. Penetrating injury to vessels should be thoroughly explored and repaired.

Lipomas of the Upper Extremity

The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1972
A consecutive series of 122 patients with 141 lipomas of the upper extremities has been studied and the data analyzed. The anatomical distribution of these lesions has been documented, and the classic concept of lipoma of tendon sheaths has been questioned. The clinical presentation of the lesions and its significance has been explored.

Tuberculosis of the Upper Extremity

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1999
Twelve cases of tuberculosis of the upper extremity over a 5-year period are presented. The average time to diagnosis was 5 months. All patients were treated with a regimen of combination antituberculous chemotherapy for a minimum of 6 months, initial splinting, and intensive physiotherapy.

Replantation of the Upper Extremity

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1983
In recent years, the functional results after replantation surgery have improved with increased experience. Stiffness remains as the single greatest postoperative problem. Improvements in this area are now possible with aggressive and closely supervised postoperative hand therapy and splinting.

Microsurgery of the Upper Extremity

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2011
In the past 50 years, hand surgeons have made considerable contributions to microsurgery. The unique demands of complex upper extremity care have driven many of the technical and scientific advances of this discipline, including functional muscle transfers, nerve transfers, and composite tissue allotransplantation.

Lymphangioma of the Upper Extremity

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1992
Lymphangioma of the upper extremity is rare; its treatment is unstandardized. We reviewed five female and one male patient with cavernous lymphangioma of the hand and forearm. Each of them underwent at least one surgical procedure. Five patients had satisfactory results with cosmesis and hand function. Satisfactory results are expected in those treated

Schwannomas of the Upper Extremity

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2000
This study presented the clinical characteristics, MRI features and postoperative results of 20 schwannomas in the arms of 13 patients. Twelve tumours had a positive Tinel’s sign, one caused weakness of the wrist and another in Guyon’s canal caused hypothenar muscle atrophy.

Arterial surgery of the upper extremity

World Journal of Surgery, 1983
AbstractOver a 10‐year period, 116 arterial operations in the upper extremity were performed. Sixteen patients had suffered from trauma, 52 from gross embolism, and 48 from chronic ischemia. The groups differ in age, duration of symptoms, and localization of the lesion.
