Elbow Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair With Suture Augmentation Is Biomechanically Equivalent to Reconstruction and Clinically Demonstrates Excellent Outcomes: A Systematic Review
To systematically review (1) biomechanical properties of augmented elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) repair compared with reconstruction and (2) clinical efficacy and complication rates of UCL repair with and without augmentation.
Why Does My Hand Hurt?
Hand pain can happen for many reasons. An injury or disease of the muscles, nerves, or tendons in your hand can cause pain. Arthritis, tendonitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome are common causes of hand pain.
An Overview of Ring Avulsion Injuries
Ring avulsions are rare injuries in which soft tissue like a ligament, tendon, or muscle is torn loose in the finger when a ring is suddenly and accidentally pulled off.1 Also called degloving, this could cause a range of problems from mild bruising to damage to bones, blood vessels, ligaments, or nerves.
Signs and Treatments for a Finger Pulley Injury
Finger pulley injuries, or ruptures of the digital pulley, are seen almost exclusively in rock climbers.1 This makes sense given the stress this activity places on the digits when maneuvering along uneven surfaces while supporting the weight of the entire body. Pulley injuries result from the mechanics of the finger tendons and joints and the particular position the fingers are held in while rock climbing.
Rheumatoid Arthritis in the Elbow: What to Know
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune condition that targets joints throughout the body. This condition occurs when your immune system destroys your body's own cells as if they were a foreign invader. RA can cause elbow pain, as well as swelling, stiffness, and limited movement.
