Clinical results of endoscopic distal biceps tendon repair have been shown to be comparable to open techniques in small series. This study evaluates safety and accuracy of the endoscopic technique. Sixteen fresh-frozen paired cadaveric upper extremities were used. The distal biceps tendons were cut and then repaired with the classic single incision bone button technique. Eight were done through an open technique, and eight were repaired ...

Blau syndrome is a monogenic disease resulting from mutations in the pattern recognition receptor NOD2, and is phenotypically characterized by the triad of granulomatous polyarthritis, dermatitis and uveitis. This paper reviews briefly the classical clinical features of the disease, as well as more recently described extra-triad symptoms. From an ongoing prospective multicenter study, we provide new data on the natural history of Blau syndrome, ...

BACKGROUND:Quantifying subtalar joint (STJ) kinematics during locomotion is a major challenge, but critical to understanding foot function. The difficulty of modelling the STJ is demonstrated by the publication of a plethora of 3D multisegment foot models lacking specific consideration of the STJ. Any scientific attempt to develop an adequate method of quantifying STJ kinematics should include the investigation of movement of skin mounted ...

OBJECTIVES: The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the European Federation of National Associations of Orthopaedics and Traumatology (EFORT) have recognized the importance of variation in diagnostic and therapeutic performance across disciplines, have found consensus in starting task forces aiming at achieving diagnostic and therapeutic uniformity, and have identified medical conditions with which representatives of both ...
