Etiology, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Dynamic Nerve Compression Syndromes of the Elbow Among High-Level Pitchers: A Review of 7 Cases

Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine, 2018
Background: Dynamic compressive neuropathies around the elbow are a rare entity described by a relatively small body of literature, mostly consisting of single-case reports. No standardized diagnostic protocols have been described to date. To the authors’

Walker-Assisted Gait in Rehabilitation: A Study of Biomechanics and Instrumentation [PDF]

, 2001
While walkers are commonly prescribed to improve patient stability and ambulatory ability, quantitative study of the biomechanical and functional requirements for effective walker use is limited.

Upper extremity kinetics during walker-assisted gait of knee joint stiffness simulation [PDF]

, 2010
Because of various inflammations and fractures of low limbs, the number of patients with knee joint stiffness is increasing. Walkers are commonly prescribed to improve these patients' stability and ambulatory ability.

Clinical Insights Into Hypercalcemia of Malignancy in Childhood

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hypercalcemia of malignancy (HCM) is a rare but life‐threatening metabolic emergency in children that occurs in less than 1% of pediatric cancer cases, with a reported incidence ranging from 0.4% to 1.0% across different studies. While it is observed in 10%–20% of adult malignancies, pediatric HCM remains relatively uncommon.

Major Upper Extremity Replantation [PDF]

Journal of Reconstructive Microsurgery, 2006
The usual mechanism of a major amputation creates a mutilating injury. Although survival rate is high, the functional results are guarded [1, 2]. The aim of this study is to review our experience with major upper extremity replantations performed between the years 1987-2007 with respect to the type of amputation as proposed by Chuang et al. [3].

Venous Thromboembolism in Pediatric Bone Sarcoma Patients: A 10‐Year, Single‐Institution Experience Encompassing the COVID‐19 Pandemic

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Osteosarcoma (OS) and Ewing sarcoma (EWS) are the most common primary bone cancers in children, but acute thrombosis is poorly characterized in this population. Our study evaluated the rates of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and associated risk factors in pediatric patients with bone sarcomas treated over a 10‐year period encompassing

Acellular Dermal Graft Augmentation Technique for Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair

Arthroscopy Techniques
The arthroscopic reconstruction of the rotator cuff is currently regarded as the gold standard when a complete tendon rupture occurs. However, many studies have shown different failure rates after repair.

Resympathectomy of the upper extremity

Journal of British Surgery, 1990
Abstract Resympathectomy was performed in 27 patients (eight bilaterally) with ischaemic hand phenomena. An extended operative technique, resecting parts of the second and third intercostal nerves and their surrounding tissue, was used. In all 35 procedures the posterior extrapleural approach was used.
