Journal ArticleDOI
Carpal tunnel release : a prospective, randomized assessment of open and endoscopic methods
Richard A. Brown,Richard H. Gelberman,John G. Seiler,Sven-Olof Abrahamsson,Andrew J. Weiland,James R. Urbaniak,David A. Schoenfeld,Deborah C. Furcolo +7 more
TL;DR: No significant differences were found between the two groups with regard to the secondary quantitative-outcome measurements, including two-point discrimination, postoperative interstitial-pressure data for the carpal canal, Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing, and motor strength.
Journal ArticleDOI
Recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I stimulates in vitro matrix synthesis and cell proliferation in rabbit flexor tendon
TL;DR: Growth factors have the ability to stimulate matrix synthesis and cell proliferation in rabbit flexor tendon, and this provides a rationale for further studies on the role of growth factors inflexor tendon healing in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differential effects of insulin-like growth factor-I on matrix and DNA synthesis in various regions and types of rabbit tendons
TL;DR: Differences in mitotic capacity between anatomical regions of tendons during culture without recombinant human insulin‐like growth factor‐I and in matrix synthesis after stimulation with it are demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Similar effects of recombinant human insulin-like growth factor-I and II on cellular activities in flexor tendons of young rabbits: experimental studies in vitro
TL;DR: Insulin‐like growth factor‐II is capable of stimulating cell proliferation and matrix metabolism in tendon explants of young rabbits at levels similar to those of insulin‐likegrowth factor‐I; in combination, the two growth factors are unable to augment the stimulatory effects of either of the factors alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of displaced ulnar collateral ligament of the metacarpophlanageal joint of the thumb
TL;DR: Results indicate that a clinical examination with palpation of the torn ligament ends identifies displaced ruptures of the ulnar collateral ligament, i.e., those cases needing surgery and nondisplaced ruptures might be treated nonoperatively.
