Mallet hallux injury typically occurs due to trauma from forced hyperflexion. The is commonly an avulsion fracture of the extensor hallucis longus tendon at distal end great toe, but can also rupture around its insertion into first phalanx. It rare for both types occur simultaneously. A mallet toe occurring in rarely reported, and there no established standard treatment method. Here, we present...

Solid male lure dispensers containing methyl eugenol (ME) and raspberry ketone (RK), or mixtures of the lures (MEþRK), and dimethyl dichloro-vinyl phosphate (DDVP) were evaluated in area-wide pest management bucket or Jackson traps in commercial papaya (Carica papaya L.) orchards where both oriental fruit fly, Bactrocera dorsalis (Hendel), and melon fly, Bactrocera cucurbitae (Coquillett), are ...

PURPOSE Treatment of Mallet fingers or fractures remains a controversial topic. No evident preference can be distilled from the reports of the clinical results obtained by conservative treatment with splints and internal fixation. If operative treatment is indicated, several techniques can be used. However, each technique has disadvantages like the risk of comminution of the fragment, the risk ...

This paper constructs a bijection between irreducible k-shapes and surjective pistols of height k−1, which carries the ”free k-sites” to the fixed points of surjective pistols. The bijection confirms a conjecture of Hivert and Mallet (FPSAC 2011) that the number of irreducible k-shape is counted by the Genocchi number G2k. Résumé. On construit une bijection entre les k-formes irréductibles et l...

OBJECTIVE We use the extension block Kirschner wire method that orginated from Ishigura to treat mallet fracture and evaluate its efficiency. METHODS 38 patients were treated prospectively. Mean follow-up was 18 months and all patients evaluated radiologically and clinically according to Crawford's criteria. RESULTS Union was obtained in all patients.
