The effect of postoperative passive motion on rotator cuff healing in a rat model.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Surgical repairs of torn rotator cuff tendons frequently fail. Immobilization has been shown to improve tissue mechanical properties in an animal model of rotator cuff repair, and passive motion has been shown to improve joint mechanics ... Read more...

Evaluation of early dynamic splinting versus static splinting for patients with transposition of the extensor carpi radialis longus to the extensor pollicis longus.

30 Aug 2009 We present a group of 20 patients who underwent transposition of the extensor carpi radialis longus to the extensor pollicis longus between April 2003 and September 2007. The group was divided into ten patients with an early dynamic splint and ten ... Read more...

Percutaneous suturing of the ruptured Achilles tendon with endoscopic control.

27 Apr 2009 INTRODUCTION: A prospective study of modified percutaneous Achilles tendon repair performed between 1999 and 2005 under local infiltration anesthesia is presented; the study evaluated the results of percutaneous repair technique by visualization of ... Read more...
