hemarthrosis/edema

Reflex sympathetic dystrophy is a mysterious entity with unclear pathogenesis. The diagnosis is largely clinical and based on signs and symptoms of pain and vasomotor dysfunction. Treatment is a challenge because the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Our patient is a 75-year-old woman 2 years

Forty patients with traumatic knee hemarthrosis were examined within 1 week after injury and observations made with magnetic resonance imaging, scintigraphy, arthroscopic evaluation, radiography, and physical examination were compared. Thirty-four patients (85%) had anterior cruciate ligament

Isolated arytenoid dislocation and subluxation are uncommon laryngeal injuries most often resulting from endotracheal intubation. However, these diagnoses must be entertained in all patients having sustained laryngeal trauma. Complaints of dysphonia, pain with phonation, or odynophagia in the

Patients with hemophilia suffer from repeated episodes of hemarthrosis leading to chronic inflammation and synovitis. Radiosynovectomy is an effective nonsurgical modality that can reduce inflammation, pain, and hemarthrosis in such cases. We describe an adolescent male with severe Hemophilia A, who

We present a new surgical subperiosteal endoscopic technique for the release of fibrosis of the quadriceps to the femur caused by gunshot injuries, postsurgical scarring, and fractures, that was developed at the Arthroscopy Group at Hospital Hermanos Ameijeiras in Havana, Cuba. The technique used is

From 1983 to 1989 we performed about 4,000 arthroscopies of the knee in our hospital. Iatrogen lesions of the cartilage were the most frequent complication. Other complications were edemas of the subcutaneous tissue, the necessary of arthrotomy, long operating time, subcutaneous hematomas,

The aim of the study was to analyze the type and incidence of major and minor complications resulting from arthroscopy with arthroscopic synovectomy of the knee joint performed by rheumatologist in different rheumatological diseases. METHODS In a prospective study the incidence of complications in

BACKGROUND A lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) is the most common knee injury in children with traumatic knee hemarthrosis. The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), the important passive stabilizer against LPDs, is injured in more than 90% of cases. The MPFL injury pattern is most often defined

The aim of this study was to review all cases of pseudoaneurysm in the literature, in predominantly arthroscopic procedures on the knee, and to report on a case of pseudoaneurysm that we treated. A bibliographic search was conducted for scientific articles published in Brazilian and foreign

Rupture of the extensor mechanism of the knee must be diagnosed early in order to be successfully treated. However, the clinical signs of this condition may be concealed by hematoma or hemarthrosis. The noninvasiveness and accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging make it useful in detection of

The hypothesis proposed in this study was that the initiation of active and passive knee motion within 48 hours of major intraarticular knee ligament surgery would not have the deleterious effects of increasing knee effusion, hemarthrosis, periarticular soft tissue edema, and swelling. We conducted

BACKGROUND Continuous passive motion (CPM) has shown positive effects on tissue healing, edema, hemarthrosis, and joint function (L. Brosseau et al., 2004). CPM has also been shown to increase short-term early flexion and decrease length of stay (LOS) ( L. Brosseau et al., 2004; C. M. Chiarello, C.
