Wrist Function

Three patients presented with upper limb problems caused by the loss of the proximal ulnar shaft due to osteomyelitis which occurred in early childhood. The three patients had several features in common: instability of the elbow, dislocation of the radial head and shortness and bowing of the forearm, but hand and wrist function were largely unaffected. One patient had evidence of impaired function of the posterior interosseous nerve, presumably a traction injury. The treatment of these problems is discussed. In one patient, a child who had a functioning ulno-humeral joint, successful reconstruction of the ulna using a vascularised fibular graft was possible.

Biphasic Responses

ABSTRACT:Cutaneous reflexes in the upper limb were elicited by stimulating digital nerves and recorded by averaging rectified EMG from proximal and distal upper limb muscles during voluntary contraction. Distal muscles often showed a triphasic response: an inhibition with onset about 50 ms (Il) followed by a facilitation with onset about 60 ms (E2) followed by another inhibition with onset about 80 ms (12). Proximal muscles generally showed biphasic responses beginning with facilitation or inhibition with onset at about 40 ms. Normal ranges for the amplitude of these components were established from recordings on 22 arms of 11 healthy subjects. An attempt was made to determine the alterent fibers responsible for the various components by varying the stimulus intensity, by causing ischemic block of larger fibers and by estimating the afferent conduction velocities. The central pathways mediating these reflexes were examined by estimating central delays and by studying patients with focal lesions
