Flexor tenolysis is the surgical release of non-gliding adhesions along tendons after injury and repair. It involves exploring the tendon sheath and pulley system through windows to fully mobilize the flexor digitorum profundus and superficialis tendons. Care must be taken to avoid dividing pulleys and handle them with hooks or retractors. The tendons are dissected from each other and adhesions are released with traction and a knife or blade. Post-operatively, the hand is immobilized and active exercises begun to prevent re-adhesion. Complications can include tendon rupture, edema, or pulley damage.
This document discusses clavicular fractures. It begins with relevant anatomy of the clavicle and mechanisms of injury. It then describes classifications of fractures, with midshaft fractures being most common. Clinical history, imaging, and treatment options are outlined for different fracture types. Conservative treatment is generally recommended for medial fractures while immobilization or closed/open reduction may be used for midshaft fractures. Lateral fractures are also discussed along with complications. The conclusion emphasizes counseling for most fractures but certain types like displaced midshaft fractures may require operative intervention.
Entropion is the in-turning of the eyelid margin. It can be congenital or acquired, with the most common type being involutional/senile entropion caused by laxity of the eyelid tissues and weakness of the retractors. Examination involves assessing lid laxity, snap back test, and tendon laxity. Treatment depends on severity and includes sutures, transverse lid splits with everting sutures, horizontal lid shortening procedures, and lower lid retractor procedures. Ectropion is eyelid eversion away from the globe and can also be congenital or acquired, with involutional being most common. Examination tests for laxity and muscle weakness.
This document discusses surgical options for treating distal ulna fractures, including tension band wiring and various plating techniques. It provides details on the surgical approach for addressing distal ulna fractures via an ulnar incision, describes techniques for reducing and fixing the fracture with a tension band wire or plate, and discusses post-operative care and anatomical considerations for safe plate placement. Key steps include exposing the fracture, reducing it, and stabilizing it with either a tension band wire construct or a plate positioned within the safe zone to avoid tendon irritation or joint impingement.
Lateral condyle fractures of the elbow are common in children between ages 6-10 years. They occur when a varus force is applied to an extended elbow. These fractures are prone to displacement and nonunion due to pull from forearm extensors and being bathed in synovial fluid. Treatment depends on the amount of displacement, with undisplaced fractures often treated non-operatively and displaced fractures requiring closed or open reduction and internal fixation. Complications can include ulnar nerve palsy, osteonecrosis, nonunion, and cubitus deformities.

Nerve injuries are common complications and must be monitored during treatment.
This document discusses common knee injuries, including acute injuries like ACL tears, meniscal tears, and patellar dislocations, as well as overuse injuries. It provides details on mechanisms of injury, symptoms, physical exam findings, imaging, treatment including RICE protocol and possible surgery, and prognosis. Knee injuries are common due to the knee's role in weight bearing and lack of bony and muscular support, making it prone to ligament tears and cartilage damage from sudden movements or repetitive stress.
A 30-year old female presented to the emergency room with a laceration and bleeding in her right hand after falling on glass. She was right hand dominant and worked in telemarketing. Physical examination would focus on the extent of the laceration and potential injury to flexor tendons and nerves. Flexor tendon injuries can lead to loss of finger flexion and grip strength if not repaired properly. The goals of reconstruction are to anatomically repair the tendons with limited motion restrictions and adhere to post-operative rehabilitation to regain function and prevent complications like adhesions.
Four-dimensional CT can be used to evaluate dynamic wrist instabilities. It allows visualization of carpal kinematics during various wrist motions like flexion-extension and dart throwing. This helps characterize patterns of non-dissociative carpal clunking and differentiate partial from complete tears of the scapholunate ligament, improving diagnosis of wrist instability types.

This document discusses factors affecting outcomes in resurgery for strabismus. Key factors include careful preoperative measurements, findings at initial surgery, risk of overcorrection based on patient characteristics, and unmasking of other ocular issues. The success rate for resurgery of congenital esotropia is 80-85%. Planning for resurgery involves reviewing previous records to identify virgin versus re-operated muscles. Expectations are for stable alignment, full eye movement, and good cosmesis. Resurgery is typically performed at least 2 months after initial surgery, except for specific cases. Reoperation is expected in 5-10% of strabismus surgeries and each reoperation increases the risk
1. The clavicle is the only long bone that lies horizontally in the body and connects the thorax to the shoulder girdle.
2. Clavicle fractures are classified based on their location as medial, middle, or lateral thirds. Common causes are falls on an outstretched hand or lateral shoulder.
3. Treatment depends on the fracture type and patient factors, ranging from sling immobilization to surgical fixation with plates or screws.
Dr. Gavinash Rao presented on the history and techniques of tendon reconstruction. The history of tendon repair before 1960 primarily involved single-stage free tendon grafting. In the 1960s, two-stage reconstruction using silicone implants was developed. Currently, the Hunter technique uses a silicone rod implant in the first stage followed by tendon grafting in the second stage. Primary tendon repair is preferred if possible, while reconstruction uses tendon grafts from the palmaris longus, plantaris, or toe extensors. Complications can include adhesions, implant failure, and joint contractures.
This document discusses various surgical interventions for bilateral vocal fold paralysis (BVFP). It classifies interventions into extra-laryngeal and intra-laryngeal approaches. Extra-laryngeal approaches include different types of arytenoidectomy procedures developed over time, while intra-laryngeal approaches utilize newer endoscopic techniques with lasers. The document outlines different procedures like laser cordotomy, medial arytenoidectomy, and endoscopic suture lateralization. It also discusses the indications, contraindications, and history of treatments for BVFP, from early tracheostomies to modern laser and endoscopic methods.

This document discusses fractures of the distal radius, including Colles' fractures (transverse fractures with dorsal displacement), Smith's fractures (volar displacement), and Barton's fractures (dorsal or volar rim avulsions). Treatment depends on the fracture type and degree of displacement/fragmentation. Displaced fractures may be reduced manually or surgically with K-wires, plates, or external fixation. Outcomes depend on restoring length, alignment, and congruity while allowing early motion. Complications include malunion, nonunion, instability, and arthritis.
1. Flexor tendon injuries can occur in any of the 5 zones defined by Kleinert and Verdan and require different surgical approaches depending on the location and severity of the injury.
2. Primary repair within 12-24 hours of injury provides the best functional outcomes while delayed or secondary repairs have higher risks of adhesion formation.
3. Flexor tendon repair techniques aim to accurately approximate the tendon ends with core sutures while minimizing handling and restoring the normal gliding relationship between tendons. Postoperative rehabilitation is crucial.
4. Flexor tendon grafting is indicated for injuries with segment
This document discusses humeral fractures in animals. It describes the causes, types, and treatment of humeral fractures. Most humeral fractures are caused by minor trauma from falls or playing. Distal humeral fractures, which involve the elbow joint, account for about half of all humeral fractures. The lateral humeral condyle is most commonly fractured due to the force from the radial head during weight bearing. Fixation methods for lateral condylar fractures include lag screws or self-compressing orthofix pins. A study found that while both methods provided adequate stability, lag screws generated greater compression over a larger area of the fracture site compared to pins.

Webinar: Designing a schema for a Data WarehouseFederico Razzoli
Are you new to data warehouses (DWH)? Do you need to check whether your data warehouse follows the best practices for a good design? In both cases, this webinar is for you.
A data warehouse is a central relational database that contains all measurements about a business or an organisation. This data comes from a variety of heterogeneous data sources, which includes databases of any type that back the applications used by the company, data files exported by some applications, or APIs provided by internal or external services.
But designing a data warehouse correctly is a hard task, which requires gathering information about the business processes that need to be analysed in the first place. These processes must be translated into so-called star schemas, which means, denormalised databases where each table represents a dimension or facts.
We will discuss these topics:
- How to gather information about a business;
- Understanding dictionaries and how to identify business entities;
- Dimensions and facts;
- Setting a table granularity;
- Types of facts;
- Types of dimensions;
- Snowflakes and how to avoid them;

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
