Efficacy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging and Clinical Tests in Diagnostics of Wrist Ligament Injuries: A Systematic Review

“…For this reason, we need to improve the methods for examining these patients. 27 Arthroscopy has the benefit of providing the surgeon with a tool for therapeutic intervention. It does, however, suffer from the limitationdunlike MRIdof being a surgical procedure, with small associated risks of complicationsd4.7% in all 28 dand the need for regional or general anesthesia.…”

Reduction of an Unusual Salter-Harris Type IV Fracture of the Ulna

“…In most cases, the distal radius is injured; fractures of the distal radius comprise 20-35% of all paediatric fractures. One-third of all radial fractures involve the radial physis [2]. In comparison, injury of the ulna is rare.…”

“…The most common type of ulnar physeal fractures are Salter-Harris (SH) type II fractures [2]. There is limited literature available about SH type IV fractures of the ulna.…”

“…Isolated fractures of the distal ulna are rare. Fractures involving the ulnar physis only account for approximately 4% of all physeal injuries [1][2][3][4]. Treatment consists of anatomic reduction to maximize chances for continued growth [5].…”

Clinical experience with arthroscopically-assisted repair of peripheral triangular fibrocartilage complex tears in adolescents—technique and results

“…TFCC tears and concomitant distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) instability are often neglected entities among young patients [2]. Therefore, the study is of relevance and the postoperative results are very encouraging.…”
