Humeral diaphysis structure across mammals

Osteosynthesis in fractures of the distal third of humeral diaphysis.

ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical results of osteosynthesis with plate and screws versus anterograde locked intramedullary nail in fractures of the distal third of humeral diaphysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS 184 patients with fractures of the distal third of humeral diaphysis were included in a prospective study. 82 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with plate a...

Haplotype Block Structure Is Conserved across Mammals

Genetic variation in genomes is organized in haplotype blocks, and species-specific block structure is defined by differential contribution of population history effects in combination with mutation and recombination events. Haplotype maps characterize the common patterns of linkage disequilibrium in populations and have important applications in the design and interpretation of genetic experim...

Aseptic Pseudoarthrosis of the Humeral Diaphysis. Epidemiological Features—Therapeutic Assessment

Objective: The aim of this work was to assess the epidemiological factors of the pseudoarthroses of diaphyseal humeral fractures in order to prevent them and also to assess the results of their treatment by screwed plate associated with an auto-graft. Material and method: This was a retrospective series of 36 aseptic pseudoarthroses of the humeral diaphysis treated by screwed plate, associated ...

A study of the nutrient foramina of the humeral diaphysis.

Transmedullary Decompression for Humeral Diaphysis Solitary Bone Cysts

Solitary bone cysts are benign, fluid-filled cavities that most often occur in childhood. Several minimally invasive decompression methods have been proposed; however, performing a surgical procedure through the thinned overlying cortex raises the risk of pathological fracture and neurovascular damage, especially in lesions located in the bone diaphysis. We describe a new technique that circumv...
