OBJECTIVE
To discuss the management of a patient with wrist weakness and a diminution in active range of motion resulting from Colles' fracture.
METHODS
A 58-year-old woman complained of persistent loss of grip strength and mobility in her right wrist. These complaints were from Colles' fracture
Loss of radial palmar tilt in malunion of Colles' fractures alters wrist biomechanics, abnormally loading the tenuous dorsal ligament complex. This can result in midcarpal instability with synovitis, pain, weakness, and possible articular degeneration. An osteotomy to correct radius alignment using
1. The time-course of the age-related decline in specific muscle force (maximum voluntary force per cross-sectional area) in men and women was determined by measuring the maximum voluntary force and cross-sectional area of the adductor pollicis muscle in 273 subjects aged 17-90 years (176 men, 30
BACKGROUND
Anaemia in the elderly is associated with a number of health-related functional declines, such as frailty, disability and muscle weakness. These may contribute to falls which, in the elderly, result in serious injuries in perhaps 10% of cases.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate whether anaemia
DXA measurements in 90 children and adolescents with repeated forearm fractures showed reduced ultradistal radius BMC and BMD values and elevated adiposity, suggesting site-specific bone weakness and high body weight increase fracture risk. Symptoms to cow milk, low calcium intakes, early age of
Fractured hips are increasingly common in elderly citizens of many developed countries. Such fractures seem to be rare in less affluent people of some developing countries, even amongst the elderly. A four year review was done of all trauma patients admitted to a provincial hospital in hospital in
