BACKGROUND:We aimed to evaluate the utility of point-of-care ultrasound(POCUS)in the assessment of hand infections that present to the emergency department(ED)and its impact on medical decision making and patient mana...

Background:During human locomotion,a sufficiently stiff foot allows the ankle plantar flexors to generate large propulsive powers.Increasing foot stiffness(e.g.,via a carbon plate)increases the ankle’s external momen...

The medial plantar artery(MPA),as a terminal branch of the posterior tibial artery,provides perfusion to the musculature of the medial compartment of the plantar foot as well as cutaneous branches to the skin.The arte...
About 20% of injuries presented in the emergency room that require surgical repair involve the hand. Most of these injuries result from sharp objects such as glass and knives, and blades in case of suicide. In Pakista...
Flexor tendon repair has conventionally been done by suturing techniques. However, in recent times, there have been attempts of using fibrous braided structures for the repair of ruptured tendons. In this regard, the ...
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis caused by hyperuricemia characterized by painful, hot and swollen joints. However, tophi involving carpal tunnel with concomitant presence of finger movement dysfunction as the...
Aim: Use of barbed sutures for fiexor tendon repair is a promising technique. These sutures lie within the substance of the tendon, avoiding the need of external knots and so improving tendon gliding. The load is disp...
Carpal tunnel syndrome(CTS) is well recognized as the most common type of peripheral neuropathy. A rare cause of CTS is tophaceous gout. Tophi deposits can accumulate in various structures including the flexor tendons...
Aim: The ideal flexor tendon repair should be reliable, simple and strong enough without impairing the tendon healing. Based on these requirements, we have imagined the use of a single barbed intra-tendinous suture fo...
