tendon ruptures and median nerve damage after hamas total wrist arthroplasty.this article describes complications due to an incorrectly positioned hamas-designed total wrist prosthesis in a 68-year-old woman with rheumatoid arthritis. at operation the median nerve was found to be directly impinged upon by the rim of the distal portion of the prosthesis. there were divisions of the superficialis tendon to all four fingers, the profundus tendon to the index finger, and partial division of the profundus to the long finger. the prosthesis was removed, and the wrist stabilize ...20133584885
renal oncocytoma: a true clinical entity?seven cases of renal oncocytoma, representing 4.10% of nephrectomies for tumors of the renal parenchyma between may 1978 and may 1985, are presented. from a thorough analysis of the literature and a comparison of these cases with well-differentiated, noninvasive clear-cell carcinomas, it can be concluded that renal oncocytoma is a variant of the wide spectrum of renal carcinomas. hence, its clinical and therapeutical approach must not differ from that of the rest of the parenchymatous renal tumo ...20133582457
