Health-related quality of life in patients with conditions affecting the hand: meta-analysis
CONCLUSION: Pooled utility estimates for patients with untreated carpal tunnel syndrome and hand osteoarthritis are 11% and 18% lower than age-matched population norms respectively. Hand conditions have a significant detrimental impact on health-related quality of life and this study provides catalogued utility values for use in future economic analyses to support the delivery of value-based hand surgery.PMID:38593043 | DOI:10.1093/bjs/znae067 (Source: Hand Surgery)

Capsular and retinaculum thickening in type II mucopolysaccharidosis: a novel MRI finding
In this study, we present four cases of patients with clinically and genetically confirmed diagnosis of type II MPS, encompassing seven MRI examination of different joints, including cervical spine, hip, wrist, knee, and shoulder. All of the patients were male, aged between 14 and 35 years, and exhibited varying degrees of joint stiffness in the clinical examination and carpal tunnel syndrome in cases of the wrist joint was affected. None of the patients had a history of surgical procedures on the affected joint, other metabolic or deposit diseases, or sports activity practice . The MRI revealed significant capsuloligame...

Statistical and video graphic posture analysis of work-related musculoskeletal disorders among carpet weavers in Kashmir, India
Handmade carpet weaving involves intense mental focus as well as extended periods of sitting in an awkward posture. Prolonged sitting in the same squat position causes musculoskeletal disorders in various motor parts of the body. Weavers are at high risk of developing Work-related Musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and low back pain (LB) due to the long working durations.
