Infantile tibia vara is a deformity of abrupt angulation into varus due to an affection of the postromedial aspect of the proximal tibial physis. The deformity often includes internal tibial torsion and limb length discrepancy. Gradual correction of the deformity is currently the treatment of choice for these challenging cases as it requires less invasive surgery, allows progressive and adjusta...

Purpose: Controversies exists between primary nailing and external fixator application as treatment of choice for severely open fractures. This study was conducted to assess the outcome of Intramedullary nailing in compound tibia fracture and evaluate its complication Methods: Between 2006 and 2011 a total of 40 cases of open tibial shaft fractures classified according to Gustillo and Anderson ...

We measured a cross-section of able-bodied (AB) men (n = 175) and men with chronic spinal cord injury (SCI) (n = 33) residing in the community, 14 to 65 years old, to identify associations between dietary factors, physical activity, health status, and mechanical properties of long bones assessed by phase velocity measurement of flexural waves in the tibia during the second to seventh decades. T...

.. Objective: The purpose of the study was to evaluate the clinical results after operative treatment of open tibia fractures (grade IIIA/B) with external fixator. Material and methods: 25 patients with open fractures of the tibial diaphysis, classified as type III A and B, according to the Gustilo classification, were operatively treated in Agency Headquarter Hospital Landikotal. All the patie...

Objective: To evaluate the incidence of union, nonunion, deep infection and factors influencing the time of bone healing in the treatment of open tibial shaft fractures Gustilo and Anderson types I and II initially treated with a non penetrating external fixator (Pinless®) followed by an unreamed intramedullary locked nail (UTN®). Methods: It is a prospective study of 39 open tibial shaft fract...

Human skeletal morphology is a dynamic system affected by both physiological and environmental factors, due to the functional adaptation remodeling responses of bones. To further explore bone environment consequent subsistence strategies determined diverse natural contexts in Anthropocene, this study presents comparative on tibiae seven ancient populations located different regions East Asia. T...

A non-union, especially atrophic non-unions, is a permanent failure of healing following a fracture and can be difficult to treat. Approximately 5-10% of fractures will result in a non-union during the healing process. non-unions can be classified into two types: atrophic non-union which is often due to impaired bone healing with a potential biological mechanism, and hypertrophic non-union whic...

The objective is to evaluate Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing (ESIN) fixation through the treatment of children’s shaft fracture of tibia and fibula. From January 2007 to January 2009, 16 cases of children’s shaft fracture of tibia and fibula had been treated by ESIN. 15 cases were followed up after the surgery and the follow-up time was 4 12 months (4.5 in average). The results turn out t...

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of diet supplementation with propolis and bee pollen on selected physical, biomechanical and chemical properties of tibial bones in broiler chickens. The experimental materials comprised 384 Ross 308 chickens (four groups, three replications), divided into groups of males and females, and raised to 35 days of age. Control group 1 birds wer...
