conclusions roll stitch technique had superior outcome compared to the modified kessler technique, when performed in the mcpj area. level of evidence: therapeutic (level iii) background proper suturing technique is needed to ensure good outcome in extensor tendon surgery. different techniques have been reported for the repair of extensor tendon injuries at the level of the metacarpophalangeal j...

A method for creating a model for fabricating a partial hand glove prosthesis is described. The realigned casts of the corresponding digits of the contralateral uninjured hand were used to substitute for the lost digits on a cast of the stump. The technique allows an exact reproduction of the anatomical and fine surface details of the digits. It has the advantage of customisation, allowing a cl...

The present study was performed to investigate the possibility of "aberrant" innervation of the tips of the hindlimb digits in the rat, i.e., from other sources than the femoral and the main sciatic branches (tibial, peroneal, sural). Cutaneous injections of fluorescent tracers in the digits were combined with either selective nerve transections to restrict afferent routes followed by detection...

School-aged children erroneously think that 1.45 is larger 1.5 because 45 is larger than 5. Using a negative priming paradigm, we investigated whether the ability to compare the magnitude of decimal numbers in the context in which the smallest number has the greatest number of digits after the decimal point (1.45 vs. 1.5) is rooted in part on the ability to inhibit the "greater the number of di...

In this paper, a new method of reconstructing broken handwritten digits is developed. The conditional dilation algorithm is used to bridge small gaps. Spurious segments introduced during extraction of digit "elds are detected and deleted based on the morphological structural analyses of digit "elds. A set of structural points of digits are detected along the outer contours of digits. The presel...

Rabinowitz and Wagon call their algorithm a spigot algorithm, because it yields digits incrementally and does not reuse digits after they have been computed. The digits drip out one by one, as if from a leaky tap. In contrast, most algorithms for computing the digits of π execute inscrutably, delivering no output until the whole computation is completed. However, the Rabinowitz–Wagon algorithm ...
