OBJECTIVES: This study aims to compare endoscopic carpal tunnel release versus mini-open carpal tunnel release regarding volume changes in the carpal tunnel and median nerve by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 17 wrists of 13 patients (1 male, 12 females; mean age 55 years; range, 51 to 64 years) who were diagnosed with carpal syndrome. Ten wrists underwent mini-open carpal tunnel release, while seven wrists underwent uni-portal endoscopic carpal tunnel release...

Pigmented villonodular synovitis (PVNS) is a benign tumorous condition commonly found in tendon sheathes, bursa, or joint synovium. Unlike the diffuse type which invades the entire synovium of the affected joint, synovium of localized PVNS shows relatively normal appearance. It presents nonspecific symptoms and typically progresses for a long time but acute locking phenomenon or internal derangement of knee symptoms suddenly commence in early stage. In this article, we present a 48-year-old female patient with well-capsulated localized PVNS with intra-capsular hemorrhage occurring from the junction of the mid-body of lateral meniscus and the lateral joint capsule in the knee...

OBJECTIVES: This study aims to investigate the fitness of two anatomic distal femoral plates with cadaveric femurs and to show whether current plates optimally match each femur. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two different sets of plates with five, seven and nine shaft holes were applicated on 62 cadaveric femurs. Ball clay was molded onto the entire inner surfaces of the plates and then the plates were fixed to the bones using two self-locking nylon cable zip ties. The volume of ball clay sandwiched in between the plate and bone was calculated and used as a quantitative fit parameter...
