The woman was 40 years old and had been admitted for hypertension and neckpain. She was apparently well about 3 days back when she started feeling pain in neck.
There were occasional episodes of vertigo.
Examination revealed tenderness at c4 level and there was mild loss of strength in her right hand grip.
The xray revealed reversal of lordosis and exaggereted kyphus at C3 C4 level.
The xray as shown above is an indicator of severe cervical spine instability.
The patient was given a collar and sounded for need for operative intervention in form of fixation and fusion of C3-C4 vertebrae.
The patient does not want to undergo surgery and is satisfied with the collar for time being.

In my effort to make information as understandable as possible by people who do not understand the technical aspect or medical jargon, I have always brought forth the information in simple language that almost everyone [I hope] could understand.
Deliberately, I had skipped some details on treatment section because, first for most, it is not necessary to know how a treatment is done and second the problem of technical aspect.
use first they were nsubnon technical peopleThis part of the article is quite technical and may not be understood by all. Rather they want to know what treatment and why it is done.
But there is a section of readers who looks for more technical stuff and asks “How”. These articles are meant for them.
There is another reason for doing this. This would also make the website wholesome. [Read more...]

Magnetic resonance imaging is very sensitive and identifies joint damage in the wrists and fingers of patients with early-stage rheumatoid arthritis, a new research published on November 15th in Arthritis Care & Research.
The study was conducted by Dr. Mami Tama and colleagues in Nagasaki University.
In the study, MRI of wrists and finger joints of both hands were examined in 51 early-stage rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients by both plain and Gd-DTPA enhanced MRI.
Synovitis, bone edema and bone erosion were considered as MRI-proven joint injury. A physical examination just before the MRI study was done by certified rheumatologist.
The presence of tender and/or swollen joints in the same fields as MRI was considered as joint injury on physical examination.
The association of MRI-proven joint injury with physical examination-proven joint injury was examined.
A total of 1110 sites were examined in the above mentioned patients.
MRI-proven joint injury was found in 521 sites whereas other 589 sites were normal.

I have been mulling over the thought for quite sometime. To create website that caters more technical aspects of orthopedics. Where professionals could gain education, learn about resources and discuss the issues.
There were few hitches in this and biggest of them was the lack of time.
But recently, the thought for creating such a center had become quite overpowering. So I designed the project and moved the website to a better server.
For all those who saw the website down yesterday, the transfer was the reason. After the website files are located to new ip, it takes some time to get propogated.
I have created the domain and working on installations. Give me few days more and it would be live
