Biceps massage for Cunningham Technique. Cunningham shoulder reduction was originally published in 2003 [1] and is an anatomically based method of shoulder reduction that utilizes positioning (analgesic position), voluntary scapular retraction, and bicipital massage.
They are classified as anterior, posterior, inferior, and superior with most being anterior. [2] [1] Treatment is by shoulder reduction which may be accomplished by a number of techniques. [1] These include traction-countertraction, external rotation, scapular manipulation, and the Stimson technique. [1]
Surgical techniques in this type of hand surgery are mainly the same for the different transfers. [30] Technique for transferring the m. extensor carpi radialis longus: the m. extensor carpi radialis longus tendon is divided at its insertion on the second metacarpal. The muscle is separated, and freed entirely from the surrounding tissues.
Cunningham technique. The Cunningham technique was originally published in 2003 and is an anatomically based method of shoulder reduction that utilizes positioning (analgesic position), voluntary scapular retraction, and bicipital massage. [7] If performed correctly most patients do not require analgesia for the performance of this technique.
Treatment is by reduction. [2] Moving the forearm into a palms down position with straightening at the elbow appears to be more effective than moving it into a palms up position followed by bending at the elbow. [1] [4] [5] Following a successful reduction the child should return to normal within a few minutes. [1] A pulled elbow is common. [2]
Orthopedic surgery attempts to recreate the normal anatomy of the fractured bone by reduction of the displacement. [citation needed] This sense of the term "reduction" does not imply any sort of removal or quantitative decrease but rather implies a restoration: re ("back [to initial position]") + ducere ("lead"/"bring"), i.e., "bringing back to ...
For this reason, a nerve resection may be considered after a failed decompression. Examples of nerves that may be good candidates for resection are lateral femoral cutaneous nerve, [42] zygomaticotemporal branch of the trigeminal nerve, [43] the posterior femoral cutaneous nerve, [44] [45] and the middle/superior cluneal nerves. [46]
The mechanism of action has been described as a triple blocking effect: conjoint tendon of shoulder i.e short head of the biceps and coracobrachialis, acting as a sling on the subscapularis and capsule with the arm abducted and externally rotated;
