Three-dimensional-MR osseous models of the shoulder using a 3D isotropic VIBE sequence were equivalent to 3D-CT osseous models, and the differences between modalities were not statistically significant.
Although radiography may be useful in the correct clinical context, it should not be utilized as the sole predictor of adverse clinical outcomes following carpometacarpal arthroplasty.
A 19-year-old woman presented to the emergency department with lower abdominal pain accompanied by episodes of lower back pain that had persisted for several days. She had been vomiting intermittently since the previous night and had 1 bowel movement with melena present. She had a hemoglobin level of 34 g/L (reference range, 120 g/Le160 g/L) and became increasingly diaphoretic, with decreased oxygen saturation. The patient had a history of a motor vehicle accident 2 weeks before presentation, which required an open reduction internal fixation of the right talus, distal fibula, and medial malleolus. The patient developed severe hypotension and required intubation. An emergency computed tomography (CT) was performed (Figures 1 and 2).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
