Background – In comminuted Colles fractures treated by conventional method , malunion during healing due to progressive radial collapse is a common complication. Many modalities of treatment have been described with their merits and demerits. Ulnocarpal stabilization is an effective method to prevent radial collapse and hence this study. Materials And Methods – A prospective study of 100 patien...

The management of pink pulseless limbs in supracondylar fractures has remained controversial, especially with regards to the indication for exploration in a clinically well-perfused hand. We reviewed a series of seven patients who underwent surgical exploration of the brachial artery following supracondylar fracture. All patients had a non-palpable radial artery, which was confirmed by Doppler ...

Introduction: Intra/juxta-articular fractures of distal radius are still challenging problem despite the varieties of modalities of treatment options. We report the result of a prospective study of three hundred fifty patients, who were treated by close reduction and simple single bar Uniplaner external fixator. Methodology: In a prospective controlled study, 350 cases of distal end radius frac...

Mobile computing provides potential to compensate for disability and increase participation for people with cognitive impairment (Gartland, 2004). A series of trials have found technological aids to be useful in neurorehabilitation (e.g. Culley & Evans, 2010; Kim, Burke, Dowds, Robinson Boone & Park, 2000; Mackie, Leathem & Babbage, 2008; van den Broek, Downes, Johnson, Dayus & Hilton, 2000; Wa...

BACKGROUND Severely displaced supracondylar fractures of the humerus in children are frequently associated with complications including neurovascular injuries, non-union, or compartment syndrome. In the current literature, no report exists about postoperative brachial artery entrapment in combination with an inconspicuous preoperative neurovascular examination. CASE PRESENTATION We present a ...

Volar Barton's fractures are uncommon and extremely unstable. Various surgical techniques have been reported in the literature, but open reduction and internal fixation using a volar plate system is currently advocated for the treatment of volar Barton's fractures. The purpose of this study was to compare the therapeutic effects of volar anatomical plates and volar locking plates in the treatme...

BACKGROUND A retrospective group study was done to evaluate the effect of the small AO external fixator in the management of acute intra-articular fractures of the distal radius. METHODS Between January 1995 and December 1996, 70 consecutive patients with articular fractures of the distal radius were treated by closed reduction and external fixation with small AO external fixators. The mean a...

Background and purpose - Supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common type of elbow fracture in children. A small proportion of them are flexion-type fractures. We analyzed their current incidence, injury history, clinical and radiographic findings, treatment, and outcomes. Patients and methods - We performed a population-based study, including all children <16 years of age. Radiographs ...

BACKGROUND Treatment of distal radius fractures in patients of a younger than osteoporotic age is complex, because they often are the result of a high-energy trauma and have intra-articular fractures and associated injuries. As yet no fracture classification exists that predicts outcome. Our aim was to find the earliest possible prognostic factor by testing which radiological parameter on the t...

background: arterial damage is sometimes associated with supracondylar fractures of the humerus. diagnosis and careful management of the fracture and arterial repair is crucial. objectives: the aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and outcome of supracondylar fractures of the humerus with signs and symptoms of limb ischemia, before and after arterial decompression or arterial recon...
