Filter by:The goal of this observational study is to compare the validity and reliability of three Different methods used for wrist proprioception measurement in the healthy population. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Are the methods valid and reliable? - Which method is superior? Wrist proprioception measurement of the participants is performed. Researchers compared the inclinometer, goniometer, and joint position sense goniometer to determine the superior method.
To evaluate the efficacy of levo-bupivacaine alone and with dexmedetomidine in Ultrasound guided infraclavicular brachial plexus block for hand and forearm surgeries as regard: Onset of sensory and motor blockade. Duration of sensory and motor blockade. Analgesic pain scores using the verbal rating scale (VRS) for pain. Duration of analgesia postoperative complications.
Supraclavicular brachial plexus approach is an alternative technique to general anesthesia resulting in a fast onset of a reliable blockage of the brachial plexus. The use of ultrasound for the performance of supraclavicular block has become the gold standard since it enables the clinician to deposit the local anesthetic close to the nerves in real-time that improves the success rate with a safety margin. Adjuvants are added to local anesthetic in Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Blockade to improve the quality of nerve blocks and the duration of analgesia. It should be noted that no adjuvant has been approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the prolongation of peripheral nerve blocks
The scaphoid is the most common fractured carpal bone in active adults, accounting for up to 80% of all carpal fractures. The optimum treatment approach of the acute scaphoid fractures is under discussion. Cast immobilization is the main treatment for non-displaced scaphoid fractures, however, about 20% of scaphoid fractures fail to heal with conservative treatment. Long periods of cast immobilization may result in wrist stiffness, loss of grip strength, muscle atrophy and disuse osteopenia. Operative treatment for displaced and unstable scaphoid fractures was mostly adopted, however, open fixation for scaphoid fractures have the inherent disadvantages of ligament and capsular dissection, blood vessels damage. This study introduces a novel measures of percutaneous screw fixation for acute scaphoid fractures. We used one K-wire maintaining the reduction of the scaphoid fractures throughout the entire process of drilling and screw insertion and screw fixation for acute scaphoid fractures.
