Normal Diaphragm

The diaphragm is the major muscle of respiration and its dysfunction is associated with problems ranging from orthopnea to prolonged recovery from surgery or ventilator management. Common causes of diaphragm dysfunction include phrenic neuropathy, motor neuron disease, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathy. This article reviews sonographic findings of normal diaphragm, including key quantitative ultrasound measurements that are helpful in the evaluation of diaphragm. It also discusses various clinical application of this technique in diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases.

Prolonged Recovery

After a pulley rupture, most climbers regain the full function of their previously uninjured fingers. However, in some cases of pulley rupture, a persistent inflammation of the tendon sheath is observed. In this study, 16 cadaver fingers were loaded until pulley rupture and then studied for the rupturing mechanism. In addition, two patients with this pathology were investigated using ultrasound and MRI, and received surgery. In 13 fingers, a rupture of one or several pulleys occurred and almost always at the medial or lateral insertion. In one finger, a capsizing of the pulley underneath the intact tendon sheath was observed, leading to an avulsion between tendon and tendon sheath. A similar pathology was observed in the ultrasound imaging, in MRI, and during surgery in two patients with prolonged recovery after minor pulley rupture. In cases of prolonged tenosynovitis after minor pulley rupture, a capsizing of the pulley stump is probably the cause for constant friction leading to inflammation. In those cases, a surgical removal of the remaining pulley stump and sometimes a pulley repair may be necessary.
