UNLABELLED The management of periprosthetic fracture around the knee remains a challenging problem. The objective of this article was to review the general concepts, treatment algorithms, and the overall treatment outcomes of femoral and tibial periprosthetic fractures after total knee arthroplasty. This article aimed to highlight the deficiencies of the current classification systems that fail...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The prevalence of tympanic plate fractures, which are associated with an increased risk of external auditory canal stenosis following temporal bone trauma, is unknown. A review of posttraumatic high-resolution CT temporal bone examinations was performed to determine the prevalence of tympanic plate fractures and to identify any associated temporal bone injuries. MATERIA...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this article was to systematically review all published studies that investigated the association between bone density and fractures in children. DESIGN Potentially relevant articles were identified by searching electronic databases. Duplicates were removed, abstracts were inspected, and relevant articles were obtained. Studies were included in the systematic review...

Osteoporosis is a leading health problem worldwide due to the morbidity and mortality associated with fractures. However, a large number of fractures occur in persons without osteoporosis, when defined by bone mineral density alone. Numerous studies have shown that the risk of subsequent fracture is increased following fractures at most sites, and the increased risk is not limited to prior hip ...

We report the 5-year follow-up of a young woman who developed vertebral fractures after pregnancy and lactation and was treated with active vitamin D hormone. A 32-year-old Japanese woman consulted us because of acute lower back pain caused by L2 and L5 vertebral fractures after pregnancy and lactation. Following cessation of breast-feeding, analgesia, bed rest, and wearing of a hard brace, her...

Fractures of the third carpal bone (C-3) include small osteochondral fragments (chip fractures), frontal slab fractures of the radial (most common) or intermediate fossae, or both, sagittal slab fractures, most commonly occurring in the radial fossa, and table surface collapse resulting in subchondral lucency of C-3. Small osteochondral fragments are the most common fracture type, and involve o...

since bone marrow has been shown to contain osteoprogenitor cells, an experiment was devised to test its effects when injected percutaneously into osteotomies sites in rabbit radii. in this experimental study, the osteogenicity and its effect on early bone repair of bone marrow grafts were investigated. the purpose of this study was to determine whether bone marrow grafted percutaneously led to...

fat embolism syndrome refers to a constellation of symptoms secondary to the presence of fat globules in the lung parenchyma and/or peripheral blood circulation. the syndrome is most often seen in association with long bone or pelvic fractures and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. the present randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of...

A sudden loss of motor function in segments of the spinal cord results in immobilisation and is complicated by bone loss and fractures in areas below the level of injury. Despite the acceptance of osteoporosis and fractures as two major public health problems, in people with spinal cord injuries, the mechanisms are not adequately investigated. Multiple risk factors for bone loss and fractures a...

Background: Saddle nose deformities mostly result from trauma. Most reports of saddle nose correction after trauma relate to isolated fractures, but in this article the experience of the authors is presented in relation to bone grafting for the correction of the saddle nose in multiple facial fracture patients. Objectives: The current study aimed to report the results of a protocol for choosing...
