The review request is for Right Long Trigger, Right Ring Trigger Injection. However, the pre-authorization request in the notes is for Right Long Trigger, Right Ring Trigger Release CPT code 26055. Treatment plan from 12/07/15 progress note also includes trigger finger release as the recommended modality. A Surgery Scheduling Form from 12/07/15 has been provided stating that the surgery has been scheduled to be performed on12/29/15. So, a review for Trigger finger release is being done at this time

he is avoiding any lifting but still having the same discomfort; however, he did find the physical therapy helpful. Objective findings revealed tenderness noted in the left inguinal area. Proximal quadriceps and Sartorius region with pain on hip flexion versus resistance. Treatment plan include continuing with physical therapy for 6 to 8 more

According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (AAOS, 2015) lateral epicondylitis, is a painful condition which occurs in the elbow and is caused by overuse. Lateral epicondylitis, which is also known as tennis elbow, is an inflammation of the tendons that intersect at the forearm muscles on the outer part of the elbow (AAOS, 2015). Upper-extremity musculoskeletal disorders can occasionally be associated with repetitive and forceful work. Epicondylitis is also considered to be one of the

In this process the Patients must rest in a position of flexion, contracture and comfort. The patient must be put on a positioning regime which will take a lot of teamwork and commitment. The patient will need help to be an anti-contracture position all hours of the day except when exercising and performing functional activities (Proctor). The end goal of anti-contracture positioning will be to avoid the normal habit for flexion and will result in impact tissue length by restraining or constraining

Powers, Harrison, & Storey, (1999) had presented a research paper with the topic as Kinematic Analysis of Take Off Parameters During Loose Jumping In Young Untrained Horses. This study examined the kinematic differences at take off between two groups of young untrained horses. Sixteen young horses were used in as subjects of mean age & height of 3.7±0.7 years 165.5±3.7cm respectively. All horses were untrained, had never been ridden, and had minimal experience with loose jumping. As set-up a parallel

This paper is a review of rehabilitation for patellar dislocation. Patellar dislocation occurs when the patella slips out of the patellofemoral (trochlear) groove, most often laterally (Cheatham, Kolber, & Hanney, 2014; Enix, Sudkamp, & Scali, 2015). This can occur from direct trauma such as sudden mechanical forces exerted on the patella (Respizzi, & Cavallin, 2014; Duignan & McGibney et.al., 2016). The injury can also be the result of indirect trauma such as when the foot is fixed on the ground

Abstract This report describes and critiques the Avanta CMC prosthesis, identifying how this specific implant has been designed and manufactured whilst assessing its clinical performance in the field. The Avanta CMC prosthesis is used primarily to treat basal joint osteoarthritis of the first carpometacarpal joint, and as such this report delivers an overview of the relevant physiology. In addition, the loads and motions that the CMC joint is subject to have been analysed, as well as the clinical

the coracoacromial arch during elevation of the arms. Shoulder impingement syndrome can cause shoulder pain and it occurs when there is impingement of the tendons or bursa in the shoulder from bones of the shoulder with movements such as shoulder flexion and abduction. The patient will experience shoulder pain with over the shoulder activity such as swimming and over time, impingement syndrome would affect activities of daily living like reaching for

The X-ray technique is a stress X-ray using the Telos Stress Device placing a valgus stress to the elbow to objectively evaluate medial joint laxity. The patient is perpendicular to the device, the elbow is flexed to 25° and the upper arm is held in external rotation with approximately 65° of abduction with the wrist in supination (Smith, Hackel, Goitz, Bouffard, & Nelson, 2011). With a counterforce applied to the radial side of the elbow, this device allows the operator to provide a defined amount

Dupuytren’s contracture (DC) involves pathologic myofibroblast forming cords due to deposition of collagen into the digitopalmar fascia, which can result in fixed flexion deformity of the affected finger impairing normal hand function. Depending on the degree of contracture, the patient´s daily activities may become significantly affected as well as their health-related quality of life, at which time they often seek treatment1,2. Surgery is usually carried out in the main operating room under general
