PURPOSE
Proximal row carpectomy (PRC) is a clinically useful motion-sparing procedure for the treatment of certain degenerative conditions of the wrist. Clinical outcome studies after PRC have shown… (More)
The interosseous membrane is a structure deep in the forearm that joins the radius and the ulna. It is made up of membranous and ligamentous regions. Two main ligamentous structures have been… (More)
A method for measuring three-dimensional kinematics that incorporates the direct cross-registration of experimental kinematics with anatomic geometry from Computed Tomography (CT) data has been… (More)
The objective of our study was to measure 3-dimensional force vectors (magnitude and direction) acting in the forearm when load is applied to the hand and to measure the actual force in the… (More)
PURPOSE
To apply carpal kinematic analysis using noninvasive medical imaging to investigate the midcarpal and radiocarpal contributions to wrist flexion and extension in a quasidynamic in vitro… (More)
PURPOSE
For severe forearm injuries such as an Essex-Lopresti fracture-dislocation, functional reconstruction necessitates repair of the interosseous ligament (IOL) to restore normal load sharing… (More)
PURPOSE
Longitudinal radioulnar dissociation may result when a compressive load to the hand results in excessive proximal migration of the radius with interosseous ligament (IOL) disruption and… (More)
Treatment recommendations for the Essex-Lopresti lesion have not come very far in 50 years. Although there have been multiple biomechanical studies, the biomechanics of forearm loading and stability… (More)
PURPOSE
Treatment of scapholunate dissociation remains difficult. The modified Brunelli procedure, a flexor carpi radialis tenodesis through the scaphoid and secured with dorsal wrist ligaments, has… (More)
Scaphoid nonunions can exist with or without avascular necrosis of the proximal pole, and waist fractures may have an associated humpback deformity. CT best shows the deformity and bone loss, whereas… (More)
