Concentric/Eccentric Home Exercise Program (Peterson et al 2011[1 ])

Protocol: Daily, 3-month program. Forearm supported in pronation with elbow in some flexion. Resistance 1kg women, 2kg men (1 litre of water = 1kg). 3 sets of 15 once daily. Increase resistance by 0.1 kg (100ml water) weekly. No comment was made regarding pain during exercise. Directions: Lift the weight by extending the wrist, then lower. The original research used a water container that is unavailable in North America. We have substituted a water bottle in a bag.

Supervised Eccentric Exercise and Stretching Program (Stasinopoulos et al 2006[2 ])

Protocol: 3 times a week, 4 weeks. Forearm supported in pronation with elbow extended. Wrist extended as high as possible then lowered into flexion slowly counting to 30, return to starting position using the other hand. 3 sets of 10, 1 minute rest between sets. Resistance, free weights. Increase resistance when the exercise is pain-free. Exercise with mild pain. Stop if pain becomes disabling. Passive stretching of the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon (ECRB) done by therapist 3 times before and 3 times after the eccentric exercise.Forearm pronated, elbow extended, wrist flexed and ulnar deviated. Hold 30-45 seconds. 30 second rest between stretches.   Directions: Extend the wrist using the unaffected hand (2A). Allow the wrist to flex (eccentric contraction of wrist extensors) (2B). The original research used hand held weights. We have substituted a bag with weights.

The “Tyler Twist” Eccentric Wrist Extensor Exercise (Tyler et al 2010[3 ])

Protocol: Daily, approximately 6 weeks. Forearm pronated, elbow and wrist extended. Allow wrist to flex slowly for approximately 4 seconds. 3 sets of 15 once daily. 30 second rest between sets. Increase resistance by using a thicker bar when the exercise is pain-free. Figure 3A Figure 3B Figure 3C Figure 3D Figure 3E   Directions: Hold the bar in the affected hand (3A). Place the unaffected hand as shown (3B). With affected wrist in full extension, twist the bar with the unaffected hand (3C). Stretch both arms out, elbows straight (3D). Slowly allow the affected wrist to bend, i.e. allow an eccentric contraction of wrist extensors (3E).

Cómo valorar radiológicamente la articulación radiocarpiana?

Estas 2 radiografías corresponden al mismo caso y están realizadas en la misma hora: Porqué en la primera, la articulación radioescafoidea aparece pinzada y el escafoides parece hundido y subluxado a dorsal?Porqué en la segunda se aprecia un mantenimineto del espacio articular radioescafoideo? La Primera es una proyección posteroanterior a 0º de elevación; la segunda es una posteroanterior a 25º de elevación ( posteroanterior con rollo de softban nuevo colocado debajo de la mano con codo sobre la mesa).

La antigua fractura del macizo estiloideo ha consolidado en flexión siendo la inclinación de la superficie articular del radio mayor a los 20º anatómicos en el plano posteroanterior. La única forma de que los rayos RX sean paralelos a la superficie articular para poder apreciar el espacio articular existente es elevar la mano sobre el eje del codo más de 20º.

Como médicos que diagnosticamos con Rx no debemos conformarnos con según qué proyecciones radiológicas se realizan . El estudio radiológico debe siempre estar orientado a diagnosticar o descartar. Las posiciones no deben ser siempre estándard. Es nuestra tarea exigir proyecciones útiles.

Alone

This 60-second television public service announcement, Alone, uses a dose of humor contrasted with the stark reality of falling to educate viewers on the importance of making their homes fall-safe. 

Viewers are encouraged to seek information from orthoinfo.org to learn how to make simple safety modifications in their home to substantially cut the risk of falling.
