Dupuytren contracture in diabetic hand
2011
Dupuytren's disease (DD) is a fibroproliferative disorder of unknown origin causing palmar nodules and flexion contracture of the digits. About 5% of individuals with DD are diabetic, with an increased prevalence that is proportional to the duration of the diabetes. The association with diabetes mellitus is well recorded, with a reported prevalence of between 3% and 32%. This review considers the evidence behind the association between DD and diabetes mellitus, considering the pathogenesis, clinical manifestations and therapies that can be found in the literature.
Effect of preoperative flexion contracture in the knee joint on the accuracy of digital templating before knee replacement surgery
2016
Abstract Introduction Flexion contracture in the knee joint before knee replacement surgery has been implicated as one of the factors that could affect the accuracy of digital templating. Aim The aim of the study was to detect the accuracy of digital templating in predicting the size of knee implants and to detect the effect of preoperative flexion contracture in the knee joint on the accuracy of digital templating. Material and methods The flexion contracture of the knee joint was measured in every patient prior to knee replacement surgery and digital templating of the knee joint was made in mediolateral (ML), anteroposterior (AP) and AP long leg views. The sizes of prosthetic components p…
