Ultrasound examination of the shoulder in orthopaedics is not much used in Norway, but it is an established method in many institutions abroad. According to the literature, good results have been obtained with diagnostic ultrasound for demonstration of rotator cuff ruptures and abnormalities of the long tendon of the biceps muscle. In order to increase the knowledge of this diagnostic modality in Norway, we present the general principles and techniques of shoulder ultrasonography. Examples of normal and pathological ultrasound findings in the rotator cuff and long tendon of the biceps muscle are given.
PURPOSE: This study presents a series of organ transplant patients who developed problems that affected their upper extremities, related to the organ transplant operation itself, to the patient's underlying systemic disease, to long-term immunosuppression, or to subsequent hand injury after the organ transplant surgery. METHODS: A retrospective chart review of 40 organ transplant patients with upper extremity problems at 3 major organ transplant centers was performed. RESULTS: Six general problems were identified that affected the hand and upper extremity in these transplant patients: inflammatory conditions (16), nerve compression syndromes (18), infections (6), neoplasms (6), vascular problems (4), and trauma (14). Thirty-eight patients had 72 separate hand procedures. No problems were encountered with postoperative infections, and skin and bony healing occurred uneventfully. CONCLUSIONS: Organ transplant patients are prone to developing atypical infections, skin malignancies, ischemia, and various nerve compression syndromes that affect the hand. These patients with upper-extremity problems should be treated in a manner similar to any patient without prior organ transplant.
