Background: To improve the clinical results of lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) reconstruction of the elbow joint, better understanding of the anatomy of the aponeuroses and joint capsule could be relevant. This study considers the previously described anatomy of the LUCL in relation to the related aponeuroses and joint capsule rather than as a discrete ligament. We hypothesized that the deep aponeuroses of the superficial extensor muscles and supinator form a relevant portion of the joint capsule previously defined as the LUCL. Read More

Background: Although skeletal maturity is most relevant during adolescence, it has utility in treatment of younger patients in some circumstances, such as scoliosis, limb length discrepancy, or endocrinopathies. Currently, a quick, accurate, and reproducible method of estimating skeletal maturity in preadolescents using wrist radiographs is lacking.Methods: Serial anteroposterior wrist radiographs taken at historical growth study visits leading up to the chronological age (CA) associated with 90% of the final height (an enhanced skeletal maturity standard as compared with peak height velocity) were analyzed in 102 children.

Background And Objectives: After diagnosing a primary bone tumor involving the forearm, various excision strategies and reconstruction methods must be considered. This study explored the oncological and functional outcomes of limb salvage surgery for primary malignant bone tumors in the forearm.Methods: Patients with primary forearm bone tumors (n = 369) were retrospectively analyzed between 2000 and 2017.

A peri-implant fracture near the volar plate of the distal radius represents a rarity and can be associated with a mechanical failure of the devices. A literature review was conducted including all fractures that occurred around a volar wrist plate, which could be associated with an ulna fracture. All articles published until December 2021 were considered according to the guidelines presented in the PRISMA Statement. Read More
