It was 1868 when Dr. Jean Charcot discovered hardening of the plaques during an autopsy he was performing. He called it “Sclerosis in plaques‚” also known as Multiple Sclerosis and today that affects more than 2.1 million people worldwide. MS is a chronic autoimmune disorder caused by the destruction of the myelin sheath that covers nerve fibers in the CNS. Myelin is the insulator of nerve conduction and it allows the signals to travel at fast speeds. During MS‚ demyelination occurs causing the nerves

Common Fibular Nerve Lesion Following a Tibial and Fibular Spiral Fracture: a Case Report By: Jose Shimokawa SPT Introduction Tibial fractures are the most common long bone fractures and frequently associated with fibular fractures—in part‚ due to forces being transmitted across the interosseous membrane to the fibula.1 Fractures are generally managed by closed reduction or open reduction internal fixation (ORIF)‚ 2 which is usually followed by a period of immobilization. The most common impairments

increased. However‚ it still only accounts for 3-10 % of all bicep tendon ruptures. Due to the rarity of injury‚ the diagnosis is often delayed leading to significant loss of elbow ROM and more importantly decreases in forearm supination and elbow flexion strength. Early detection and therapy of the distal biceps tendon is key for obtaining the best functional outcome for these patients. After detecting the ruptured distal biceps tendon‚ the fixation process can be performed by several techniques with

Introduction: Short term functional results of modern bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) with 2 independent modern implants showed better results than those of total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Conserving 2 cruciate ligaments may explain these results but another hypothesis is that independent adjustment of the rotation of patello-femoral and tibio-femoral implants may optimize knee reconstruction. Objectives: The aim of our study was to compare the positioning of BKA implants to those of primary

Discussion: Extensor tendon lacerations most commonly occur in men (83%)‚ in the dominant hand (60%)‚ in the thumb and secondly the index finger (Patillo and Rayan 2012). Tendon injuries were found to be caused by a variety of mechanisms in a study done in 2014 that include a knife‚ saw‚ crush injury‚ degloving injury‚ and bite injury (De Jong 2014). The patient can present in different manners depending on what zone is affected. Zone I can cause a mallet finger deformity where the tip of the finger
