A simple external fixator for complex finger fractures.
Complex fractures of phalangeal bones in the hand are difficult to treat. External fixation is an effective method of treatment particularly when internal fixation is not possible due to comminution and associated soft tissue injury. A variety of commercial fixators are available for the treatment of hand fractures. However, these fixators are costly and need a sufficient degree of expertise an...
متن کاملA Novel Method for Designing and Optimization of Networks
In this paper, system planning network is formulated with mixed-integer programming. Two meta-heuristic procedures are considered for this problem. The cost function of this problem consists of the capital investment cost in discrete form, the cost of transmission losses and the power generation costs. The DC load flow equations for the network are embedded in the constraints of the mathematica...
متن کاملCare of external fixator pin sites.
External fixators include pins and wires placed by surgeons to stabilize fractures such as those involving the tibia. In critical care, external fixators are more commonly used to stabilize cervical spine fractures. Because halo fixators secure cervical alignment, these devices allow early mobilization and shortened stays. However, halo-fixator complications include cranial pin loosening, local...
متن کاملIlizarov external fixator for correction of complex foot deformities.
OBJECTIVES This study aims to evaluate the outcomes of the Ilizarov external fixator for the correction of complex foot deformities. PATIENTS AND METHODS Between January 2000 and September 2005, 29 feet of 25 patients (18 males, 7 females; mean age 13.7 years; range 5 to 24 years) who were applied Ilizarov external fixators due to complex foot deformities in our clinic were prospectively anal...
