Medical and Biotech [MESH] Definitions
Carpal Joints
The articulations between the various CARPAL BONES. This does not include the WRIST JOINT which consists of the articulations between the RADIUS; ULNA; and proximal CARPAL BONES.
Bone Plates
Implantable fracture fixation devices attached to bone fragments with screws to bridge the fracture gap and shield the fracture site from stress as bone heals. (UMDNS, 1999)
Monteggia's Fracture
Fracture in the proximal half of the shaft of the ulna, with dislocation of the head of the radius.
Fracture Fixation
The use of metallic devices inserted into or through bone to hold a fracture in a set position and alignment while it heals.
Colles' Fracture
Fracture of the lower end of the radius in which the lower fragment is displaced posteriorly.

Post-operative Mobilization for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
This study will investigate the effect of one week of immobilization following carpal tunnel release surgery versus no immobilization.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common peripheral nerve entrapment. Diagnosis is based on symptoms, clinical findings and electrophysiological examination. Several conservative an...
