Magnetic resonance imaging of the infrapatellar fat pad: Correlation with patellar articular cartilage abnormalities

We tried to demonstrate an association between magnetic resonance imaging findings of the Hoffa fat pad and patellar chondropathy. Parallely, we checked the correlation between the diagnosis of patellar chondropathy on magnetic resonance imaging and during arthroscopy. Our study is a retrospective review of the records of 135 patients who underwent an arthroscopy and MRI study at our institution between October 1997 and January 2001. Magnetic resonance images of the Hoffa fat pad were interpreted and typewritten arthroscopy reports were recorded. A patellar chondropathy assessed during arthroscopy was present in 64 of 135 patients. Twenty of them had abnormal signal intensity in Hoffa fat pad with a sensitivity of the magnetic resonance imaging findings of 31% and a specificity of 73%. We didn't find any significant association in the different correlations between signal abnormalities of Hoffa fat pad and patellar chondropathy. On the other hand, there was a significant association between the results of patellar chondropathy on magnetic resonance imaging findings and during arthroscopy. No significant association was shown between the MRI findings of Hoffa fat pad and the patellar chondropathy.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Evolution of clinical, electrophysiological, and radiological aspects of the carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery

The aim of the study was to analyze the evolution of the clinical, electrophysiological, and ultrasound aspects of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) before and 4 and 8 weeks after surgery. A Boston Carpal Tunnel Questionnaire, an ultrasound scan, and an electrophysiological exam were performed in 14 patients the day of surgery, 4 and 8 weeks after. The nerve conduction study included: median nerve sensory conduction stimulating digit 3 and 4, median motor conduction from the abductor pollicis brevis, ulnar nerve sensory, and motor conduction. A significant improvement of the symptoms and a significant decrease of the median nerve proximal cross-sectional area on the ultrasound scan were observed 4 weeks after surgery. Distal motor latency (DML) was > 4.2 ms in six patients and decreased along the three visits. DML was ≤ 4.2 ms in the eight others and stayed stable after surgery. We observed a significant increase of the sensory median nerve amplitude response at the wrist stimulating the third digit 8 weeks after surgery. When operated patients are referred for control, we recommend to perform: (1) 4 weeks after surgery, an ultrasonography, and a measure of the DML of the median nerve; (2) 8 weeks after surgery, a measure of the sensory conduction velocity of the median nerve.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

The effect of submaximal eccentric isokinetic training on strength and cross sectional area of the human achilles tendon

This study was designed to investigate the effects of six weeks submaximal eccentric training on concentric and eccentric isokinetic peak torque and cross sectional area (CSA) (muscle and tendon) of calf muscle. Six men and four women volunteered as subjects for this study. Peak torque values for plantar flexion were determined at 30°/s, 60°/s and 90°/s (concentric and eccentric) using a Cybex® Norm before the training, 3 weeks after the beginning and at the end of the sixth week. Following training, peak torque increased in the concentric and eccentric modes in both the trained (p < 0.001) and untrained (p < 0.01) side. No significant change in CSA was noted. The results of this study indicate that after 6 weeks of submaximal eccentric training the strength gained was not completely specific to the contraction type used in training. Transfer of training took place. Neither muscle nor tendon hypertrophy was observed, suggesting the involvement of neural adaptation.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe

Associated giant cell tumor and tophaceous deposits in a finger pulp: a case report.

A case of concomitant giant cell tumor of soft tissue and tophaceous deposits within the finger pulp is presented. The local hemorrhage and increased turnover with giant cell tumor may explain the deposits of aggregated crystals of monosodium urate in this patient with hyperuricemia.Case ReportsJournal ArticleSCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
