Wartenberg’s Syndrome: Diagnosis and Treatment |
Author : Graeme Matthewson |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Wartenberg’s syndrome is a peripheral neuropathy caused by entrapment of the superficial radial nerve (SRN), presenting with paresthesia in the nerve distribution [1]. Currently, there are no established guidelines or recommendations for the proper treatment of this condition. As such, the objective of this paper is to complete a literature review outlining the diagnosis and treatment of Wartenberg’s syndrome. |

The Application of Biomechanics on Orthopaedic Rehabilitation |
Author : Jerzy E. Kiwerski |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Development in medicine in large scale merits the development of biomechanical and biomedical engineering. This highly concerns with the medical rehabilitation, which according to the modern understanding is the interdisciplinary management aiming at recovering or improving efficiency of the organism which is beyond the ability of pure medical [1]. Model of Polish rehabilitation is based on four basic principles: early application of rehabilitation, it’s universality, complexity and continuity procedures. Early application of rehabilitation prevents from development of unwanted changes such as: contractures, muscular atrophies, trophic abnormalities and decreases the frequent negative outcomes due to long term immobilization [2].Complexion principles defines then interdisciplinary character, paying attention at the importance increasing maximum care to improve the activities disabled, supplying him with necessary prosthetic – orthotic equipment in order to easy the performance of activities at home conditions, environment and if possible – come back to professional job. |

Shoulder Pain in Swimmers |
Author : Gomaa M. Othman |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Shoulder pain is the most important symptom that affects competitive swimmers, with a prevalence between 40 – 91%, and it constitutes a special syndrome called the “swimmer’s shoulder”. This syndrome, described by Kennedy and Hawkins in 1974 consists of discomfort after swimming activities in a first step. This may progress to pain during and after training. Finally, the pain affects the pro23wsq2wgress of the athlete. |

Extensor Carpi Radialis brevis: Review of Anatomy and Clinical Significance to Orthopedics |
Author : Jennifer L Smith |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) muscle is an integral extensor and abductor of the wrist. It originates from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, laying deep to the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor digitorum communis, and superficial to the supinator. Insertion occurs at the base of the third metacarpal. The radial nerve or a derivative supplies innervation. Its significance in orthopedics is highlighted by its involvement in multiple surgical approaches, such as the Thompson and Kaplan approaches for exposure of the radius, as well as its association with several routinely observed pathologies. Many of the associated syndromes, such as lateral epicondylitis, arise from repetitive gripping motions or overuse and are frequently seen in the orthopedic clinic. This review seeks to provide a comprehensive summary of the relevance of the ECRB to the orthopedic setting to broaden knowledge of its anatomy and increase recognition and proper management of associated pathologies. |

Surgical repair of an osseous avulsion of the adductor sleeve complex of the groin: a case report |
Author : Simran Grewal |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :Sports-related groin injuries are common among athletes. Avulsion of the tendons attached to the symphysis pubis has previously been described. These can be managed both operatively and non-operatively. To our knowledge, a complete osseous avulsion of the adductor sleeve has not been described previously.
We report a case of a 56-year-old healthy man who sustained an acute osseous avulsion of the adductor sleeve complex on the left side, which was surgically repaired with bone anchors and a mesh. Return to normal activity was reached 8 weeks after immobilization and full return to play for all sports activities in 12 weeks. |
