PURPOSE To describe a variant of intertrochanteric fracture not well-characterised in the existing classification systems. METHODS 10 women and 2 men aged 59 to 98 (median, 80) years with intertrochanteric fractures characterised by a low intertrochanteric fracture, a basicervical fracture fragment, and a thin or fractured lateral wall with greater trochanteric comminution were reviewed. RE...

To respond to the increased demand for commodities, volumes of primary ores need be mined. This could lead major challenges with water and tailings management since ore grades are low many mining operations take place in high stress areas. The current mineral processing methods used highly intensive and, consequently, there is increasing interest finding alternative solutions produce raw materi...

The surgical goals for treating proximal tibial fractures are to restore articular congruity, the mechanical axis, and knee motion while avoiding soft-tissue complications. The fracture pattern should be correctly identified and understood. For fractures with minimal intra-articular extension, fracture fixation with an intramedullary nail can decrease the risk of infection because it uses a sma...
