Complete anaesthesia in the cutaneous distribution of the ulnar nerve following submuscular anterior transposition of the ulnar nerve has not been previously reported. We postulate vascular insult as the etiology of this condition and suggest there may be clinical importance to preserving the ulnar nerve blood supply during submuscular anterior...

In THA, anterior or posterior tilt of the pelvis changes the position of the acetabular component on the coronal plane of the body as compared with its anatomic position in the pelvic bone. To understand the occurrence and clinical importance for patients with pelvic tilt on an operating room table...

We evaluated the presence, amount, and distribution of joint fluid as seen on MR images of normal and abnormal ankles.
CONCLUSION. Our results show that fluid in the articulations and tendon sheaths of the ankle is common in asymptomatic patients, and the amounts of fluid are not significantly different from the...

Myositis ossificans progressiva involves episodes of 'myositis' with progressive ossification of the soft tissues and is a seemingly inherited mesenchymal abnormality, fibrodysplasia. The most common skeletal association is a reduction of the number of phalanges in thumb or hallux. It is a very rare condition.
The distribution of the ossification, the...

Morton neuroma (interdigital neuroma), first described in 1876, is a perineural fibrosis and nerve degeneration of the common digital nerve. Morton neuroma is not a true neuroma, although it results in neuropathic pain in the distribution of the interdigital nerve secondary to repetitive irritation of the nerve. The most frequent...

The medical records and radiographs of the hands, wrists, and feet of 50 patients with psoriatic arthritis and 34 with erosive osteoarthritis were reviewed. Polyarticular arthrutis in psoriatics is often unilateral and the joints of a single ray may be selectively affected. Their erosions ten to occur at the "bare...

Cervical disc disorders encountered in physiatric practice include herniated nucleus pulposus (HNP), degenerative disc disease (DDD), and internal disc disruption (IDD). HNP implies extension of disc material beyond the posterior margin of the vertebral body. Most of the herniation is made up of the annulus fibrosus. DDD involves degenerative annular...

Stout observed ten myxomata of bone and collected sixteen cases from the literature. Most of them occurred in the jaws, mainly in the mandible,...

Neuroblastoma is the most common extracranial solid tumor and the most common tumor occurring during infancy. It is an embryonal malignancy of the sympathetic nervous system arising from neuroblasts (pluripotent sympathetic cells). In the developing embryo, these cells invaginate, migrate along the neuraxis, and populate the sympathetic ganglia, adrenal medulla,...

Cadaveric specimens and patient radiographs were examined in order to establish the pattern and the distribution of degenerative alterations of the glenohumeral joint. Characteristic osseous changes occur in response to alterations in the articular cartilage and rotator cuff. The extent of these changes is underestimated by plain-film radiography. A strong...
