Efficacy Of A Novel Examination Maneuver In Diagnosing Meniscal Pathology, Eric J. Freeh, Ryan Lurtsema Jan 2014

Efficacy Of A Novel Examination Maneuver In Diagnosing Meniscal Pathology, Eric J. Freeh, Ryan Lurtsema

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

In this retrospective study we examine the effectiveness of the here named “Twist test” in diagnosing meniscal pathology. In preparation for this study, a literature review was conducted to look at commonly used “gold standard” exam maneuvers utilized in the diagnosis of meniscal lesions. The data from these studies was used as comparisons against the twist test. Medical records of patients who underwent knee arthroscopy from the 2013 calendar year were pulled and assessed for positive or negative Twist test results. These results were then correlated with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), and more definitively, arthroscopic findings. With this data, we …

Congenital Scoliosis: A Retrospective Chart Review, Antony Kalllur, Azadeh F. Fotouhie, Skye C. King Jan 2014

Congenital Scoliosis: A Retrospective Chart Review, Antony Kalllur, Azadeh F. Fotouhie, Skye C. King

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Background: The etiology, severity and prognosis of congenital scoliosis depend on multiple factors, with limited data in the literature. There is also limited data on surgical correction based on the underlying vertebral anomaly. Given the progressive nature of the disease and eventual need for surgical intervention, the study was designed to obtain more data, assess disease presentation and progression in relation to environmental and physical characteristics, and evaluate surgical predictors to elucidate the disease and understand its prognosis in relation to various factors.

Methods: Using a retrospective chart review, we created a database for patients with congenital scoliosis seen at …


Treatment Of Hallux Valgus With A Chevron Osteotomy Combined With A Lateral Release, Selina Silva, Richard A. Miller Jan 2014

Treatment Of Hallux Valgus With A Chevron Osteotomy Combined With A Lateral Release, Selina Silva, Richard A. Miller

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

Purpose: Current literature recommends proximal first metatarsal osteotomy for large hallux valgus deformities. Combined distal osteotomy with lateral release can be done and may provide a similar degree of correction. The concern with this technique is disruption of the blood supply to the first metatarsal head. We hypothesized that a chevron osteotomy in conjunction with a lateral release is effective in correcting some larger hallux valgus deformities without causing disruption of the blood supply to the first metatarsal head.

Methods: We reviewed the imaging studies of fortysix cases that underwent a distal chevron osteotomy with lateral release for correction of …

Pediatric Proximal Ulna Plastic Deformation With Anterior Radial Head Dislocation — A Rural Monteggia Fracture Two Weeks Out In A Tertiary Care Center: A Case Report, Luke Buthuis, Selina Silva Jan 2014

Pediatric Proximal Ulna Plastic Deformation With Anterior Radial Head Dislocation — A Rural Monteggia Fracture Two Weeks Out In A Tertiary Care Center: A Case Report, Luke Buthuis, Selina Silva

UNM Orthopaedic Research Journal

The Monteggia fracture was originally described over two centuries ago. These fractures of the proximal one-third of the ulnar shaft with associated anterior dislocation of the radial head and its variants are well described and still an area of active debate. There is the additional challenge today of tertiary referral centers providing specialized care for this injury in the pediatric population, resulting in missed diagnosis and late referrals. This is a case report of one such patient, an eight-year old female referred to our center two weeks post injury with the diagnosis of an un-reducible radial head dislocation.
