Longitudinal Research02:20

Longitudinal Research

13.4K
Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Microtubule Instability02:17

Microtubule Instability

6.3K
Microtubules are hollow cylindrical filaments having a diameter of approximately 25 nm and a length that varies from 200 nm to 25 μm. GTP-bound tubulin subunits form αβ-heterodimers for microtubule assembly. These core building blocks interact longitudinally, polymerizing into protofilaments. The protofilaments then interact with one another through lateral bonding forces to form stable cylindrical microtubules. These cylindrical filaments are dynamic as they undergo repeated...

Muscles that Move the Forearm01:16

Muscles that Move the Forearm

4.0K
The muscles that move the forearms can be divided into four groups: forearm flexors, forearm extensors, forearm pronators, and forearm supinators. The flexors and extensors act on the elbow joint, while the pronators and supinators act on the radioulnar joints.
Forearm Flexors
The biceps brachii, brachialis, and brachioradialis are forearm flexors. The biceps brachii is made up of two heads. Its long head originates at the supraglenoid tubercle of the scapula, whereas that of the short head is...

Longitudinal Studies01:26

Longitudinal Studies

534
Longitudinal studies are also widely used in other medical and social science fields. For instance, in cardiovascular research, they can monitor patients' health over decades to identify risk factors for heart disease, such as high cholesterol or smoking, and evaluate the long-term effectiveness of preventive measures. Similarly, in mental health studies, researchers might follow individuals from adolescence into adulthood to understand the development and progression of conditions like...

Trial and Error and Algorithm01:12

Trial and Error and Algorithm

425
A problem-solving strategy is a plan of action used to find a solution. Different strategies have distinct action plans. Trial and error involves trying different solutions until one works. For instance, to fix a broken printer, you might check ink levels, ensure the paper tray isn't jammed, and verify the printer's connection to your laptop. This method can be time-consuming but is commonly used. Thomas Edison, for example, used trial and error to find a suitable filament for the light...

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers01:16

Muscles of the Forearm that Move the Hand and Fingers

2.7K
The muscles of the forearm that move the wrist, hand, and digits are numerous and diverse. They can be classified into two groups based on their location and function — the anterior and posterior compartment muscles.
Anterior Compartment
The anterior compartment muscles originate from the humerus. They primarily function as flexors and are also known as flexor muscles. They typically insert on the carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges. The superficial layer includes the flexor carpi...

Summary

Essex-Lopresti lesions, rare wrist and elbow injuries, can cause chronic pain if missed. A novel approach restores forearm anatomy, improving function and preventing further procedures.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Traumatology
  • Upper Extremity Injuries

Background:

  • Essex-Lopresti lesions are uncommon injuries often overlooked acutely.
  • Delayed treatment can result in chronic wrist/elbow pain and functional deficits.
  • Current treatments focus on ulnar shortening, which may not fully address radial displacement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel surgical technique for chronic Essex-Lopresti lesions.
  • To demonstrate anatomic restoration of forearm length and joint congruity.
  • To evaluate functional recovery of the elbow and wrist.

Main Methods:

  • A novel surgical approach was developed and applied to chronic Essex-Lopresti lesions.
  • The technique aims for anatomic restoration of forearm length.
  • Postoperative assessment focused on elbow and wrist range of motion and stability.

Main Results:

  • The novel approach achieved anatomic restoration of forearm length.
  • Successful return of elbow and wrist flexion/extension was observed.
  • Improved forearm pronation and supination were noted postoperatively.

Conclusions:

  • This novel technique offers a potential solution for chronic Essex-Lopresti lesions.
  • Anatomic restoration addresses both wrist and elbow components of the injury.
  • The approach may prevent the need for subsequent radial head procedures.
