This paper presents first a numerical investigation into a novel class of wave motions in narrow open channels. The distinctive condition on these motions is that: – dissipation in vicinity of contact line is described by De Gennes approach; – the macroscopic lines of contact between the free surface and the sides of the channel move with velocity proportional to cosine of dynamic contact angle...

We have reviewed 20 patients with stage-IIIB and stage-IV Kienböck's disease in order to examine the efficacy of two forms of radial osteotomy, namely radial wedge osteotomy and radial shortening. Lateral closing wedge osteotomies and radial shortenings were carried out on 11 and nine patients, respectively. There were no preoperative differences with respect to age, gender, and radiological st...

We consider the state of stress created by presence an edge dislocation at arbitrary position, in a wedge internal angle. A method for determining is demonstrarted and verified against finite element simulations. Furthermore, Mellin transform employed to ensure that free surfaces remain traction along their length.

To determine the effectiveness of the application of one stage posterior approach osteotomy with screw rod fixation and cage inserting anteriorly in late kyphosis deformity. 39 cases of late kyphosis deformity treated with one stage posterior approach osteotomy with screw rod fixation and cage inserting anteriorly were retrospective reviewed. The height of anterior and posterior margin of verte...

In extant birds, the hand is permanently abducted towards the ulna, and the wrist joint can bend extensively in this direction to fold the wing when not in use. Anatomically, this asymmetric mobility of the wrist results from the wedge-like shape of one carpal bone, the radiale, and from the well-developed convexity of the trochlea at the proximal end of the carpometacarpus. Among the theropod ...

INTRODUCTION Severe cases of genu varum represent a major challenge in obtaining normal configuration of the proximal tibia and overall limb alignment. PRESENTATION OF CASE We performed inverted V-shaped high tibial osteotomy (HTO) by using a locking plate for recurrent severe bilateral tibia vara in a 15-year-old female patient with Turner syndrome. Preoperative medial proximal tibial angle ...

We examined the effects of medially wedged foot orthoses on knee and hip joint mechanics during running in females with and without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS). We also tested if these effects depend on standing calcaneal eversion angle. Twenty female runners with and without PFPS participated. Knee and hip joint transverse and frontal plane peak angle, excursion, and peak internal knee...

Abstract—This paper deals with the theoretical and numerical investigation of magneto hydrodynamic boundary layer flow of a nanofluid past a wedge shaped wick in heat pipe used for the cooling of electronic components and different type of machines. To incorporate the effect of nanoparticle diameter, concentration of nanoparticles in the pure fluid, nanothermal layer formed around the nanoparti...

PURPOSE To compare treatment outcomes after closing wedge osteotomy and plate fixation for cubitus varus deformity undertaken with or without medialisation of the distal fragment. METHODS Records of 21 men and 16 women aged 20 to 34 years who underwent closing wedge osteotomy and plate fixation for cubitus varus deformity with (n=21) or without (n=16) medialisation of the distal fragment were...
