Ultrasound-guidedpercutaneous drainage could be beneficial in terms of achieving better and faster symptom relief. When suspectinga hemophilic pseudotumor, biopsy will help us confirm the diagnosis and rule out true tumors (chondrosarcoma,liposarcoma, synovial sarcoma) that sometimes mimic hemophilic pseudotumor. Surgical removal of hemophilicpseudotumor is the best solution. As alternatives, there are curettage and filling with cancellous bone and radiotherapy(when surgery is contraindicated).

This review protocol describes the steps that will be taken to locate, critically appraise, compareand summarize clinical measurement research on the BPI-SF and SF-MPQ-2 in pain-related MSK conditions.Methods: Medline, EMBASE, CINAHL and Scopus will be searched for publications that examine the measurementproperties of the Brief Pain Inventory and Revised Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire Version-2. Two reviewerswill independently screen citations (title, abstract and full text) and extract relevant data. The extensiveness, rigor,and quality of measurement property reports will be examined with a structured measurement studies appraisal tool,and with the updated COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN)guidelines. Findings will be descriptively summarized, and when possible, a meta-analysis will be performed.Discussion: This review will summarize and compare the current level of evidence on the measurement properties of theBPI-SF and SF-MPQ-2 in a spectrum of musculoskeletal conditions.

Bilateral elbow range of motion (ROM), upper limb alignmentand complications were registered. A 4-point ordinal Likert-type scale was employed for parents to rate their level ofsatisfaction with the cosmetic appearance of the scar.Results: Eighteen children of mean age 76 months (range 27 to 101 months) were included.

The present study aimed to assess the union rate of extra-articular distal tibiafractures using biological fixation with bridge plating and rigid fixation with compression plating.Methods: This retrospective analysis was performed on 41 adult patients with distal tibia fractures. The subjectswere divided into two groups based on the fixation method, namely bridge plating and compression plating.

For optimal positioning of the injection, as well as an estimation ofthe surface area and content of the ECRB tendon to determine the volume of the injectable needed, it is important toknow the exact location of the ECRB in relation to the skin as well as the variation in tendon length and location. Theaim of this study was to determine the variation in location and size of the ECRB tendon in patients with LE.Methods: An observational sonographic evaluation of the ECRB tendon was performed in 40 patients with LE. Thelength of the ECRB tendon, distance from the cutis to the center of the ECRB tendon, the length of the osteotendinousjunction at the epicondyle and the distance from cutis to middle of the osteotendinous junction were measured.Results: The average tendon length was 1.68cm (range 1.27-1.98; SD 0.177). Compared to women, the ECRB tendonof men was on average 0.12cm longer. Overall, the average distance from cutis to the center of the ECRB was 0.75cm(range 0.50-1.46cm; SD 0.210), the average length of the junction was 0.55cm (range 0.35-0.87; SD 0.130), and thedistance from cutis to middle of the osteotendinous junction was 0.73cm (range 0.40-1.25cm; SD 0.210).Conclusion: The size and depth of the ECRB tendon in patients with LE is largely variable. While there are no studiesyet suggesting sono-guided injection to be superior to that of blind injection, the anatomic variability of this studysuggests that the accuracy of injection therapy for LE might be compromised when based solely on bony landmarksand therefore not fully reliable. As a result, there is value in further studies exploring the accuracy of the ultrasoundguided injection techniques.Level of evidence: IV}, keywords = {Anatomy,extensor carpi radialis brevis,Lateral epicondylitis,Tennis elbow,Ultrasound}, url = {https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_13640.html}, eprint = {https://abjs.mums.ac.ir/article_13640_e14cdf135e9c984a37bb447800d8f957.pdf} } @article { author = {Nayar, Suresh K. and Sabharwal, Samir and Aziz, Keith T. and Srikumaran, Umasuthan and Giladi, Aviram M. and LaPorte, Dawn M.}, title = {Medicare Compensation Rates for Hand and Shoulder/ Elbow Surgery by Operative Time: A Comparative Analysis}, journal = {The Archives of Bone and Joint Surgery}, volume = {8}, number = {2}, pages = {173-183}, year = {2020}, publisher = {Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Iranian Society of Knee Surgery, Arthroscopy and Sports Tramatology,Iranian Orthopaedic Association}, issn = {2345-4644}, eissn = {2345-461X}, doi = {10.22038/abjs.2019.39965.2072}, abstract = {Background: There is a high demand for shoulder/elbow experience among hand-fellowship trainees due to theperception that this exposure will improve their professional “marketability” in a subspecialty they perceive as havinghigher compensation.Methods: Using Medicare data, we investigated the most common surgeries from these fields and determinedwhich have the highest compensation [work relative value unit (wRVU), payment, charge, and reimbursement(payment-to-charge percentage] rates per operative time. We then determined whether the overall non-weightedand weighted (by surgical frequency/volume) compensation rates of shoulder/elbow surgery are greater than thatof hand surgery.Results: Among 30 shoulder/elbow procedures, arthroplasty and arthroscopic rotator cuff repair had the highest paymentand wRVU assignments. Among 83 hand procedures, upper-extremity flaps, carpal stabilization, distal radius openreduction internal fixation (ORIF), both-bone ORIF, and interposition arthroplasty had the greatest wRVU assignmentswith correspondingly high payments. A non-weighted comparison of the two subspecialties showed that hand surgeryhas a higher mean payment/min ($10.46±3.22 vs. $7.52±2.89), charge/min ($51.02±17.11 vs. $41.96±11.32), andreimbursement (21±4.7% vs. 18±5.1%) compared with shoulder/elbow surgery (all, p <0.01). Non-weighted meanwRVUs/min were similar (0.12±0.03 vs. 0.13±0.03, P = 0.12). When weighted by procedure frequency, hand surgeryhad greater wRVUs/min (0.15±0.036 vs. 0.13±0.032), payments/min ($14.17±4.50 vs. $6.97±2.26), charges/min($75.68±30.47 vs. $42.61±7.83), and reimbursement (20±5.0% vs. 17±6.0%) (all, p <0.01).Conclusion: According to Medicare compensation, and when weighted by procedure frequency, hand proceduresare associated with greater overall mean wRVUs/min, payments/min, charges/min, and reimbursement compared withshoulder and elbow procedures.
