OBJECTIVES To examine the anthropometric characteristics of an Australian National Rugby League team and identify the relationship to type and incidence of injuries sustained during a professional season. It was hypothesised that body composition would not change discernibly across a season and that injury would be negatively related to preseason bone and muscle mass. DESIGN A repeated measur...

BACKGROUND To determine whether olecranon fractures have osteoporotic features such as age-dependent, low bone attenuation and low-energy trauma as a cause of injury. METHODS Elbow computed tomography (CT) and medical record review were performed in 114 patients (53 males and 61 females) with acute olecranon fractures. The mean age was 57 years. Bone attenuation was measured on the central pa...

background: the fracture of the mandible is the second most common facial bone injury.  when this injury occurs, it could be serious with complications that may even result in death.   objective: to evaluate the current trends in mandibular fracture (mf) in southern iran.   methods: in a cross-sectional study, several parameters including age, sex, cause of fracture, anatomical site of fracture...

It is observed that injury caused by trauma, disease, or accidents results in bone damage which leads to improper functioning (or) permanent destruction of the bone. The damaged replaced implant made up either ceramic metal, will function human body similar original aim this research work compare finite element analysis designed hip and commercial for different bio-compatible materials under wa...

Basilar skull fractures in horses can occur at any age, although young are particularly prone to this type of injury. This manuscript describes two foals with a basisphenoid bone fracture, clinical presentations ranging from mild neurological signs up severe compromise. The absence does not exclude fracture bone, as lethargy and retropharyngeal swelling may be the only signs. Radiography help d...

Background: Oligodendrocyte cell death is among the important features of spinal cord injury, which appears within 15 min and occurs intensely for 4 h after injury, in the rat spinal contusion model. Accordingly, the number of oligodendrocytes progressively reduced within 24 h after injury. Administration of oligodendrocyte-like cells (OLCs) into the lesion area is one of the approaches to coun...

A sudden loss of motor function in segments of the spinal cord results in immobilisation and is complicated by bone loss and fractures in areas below the level of injury. Despite the acceptance of osteoporosis and fractures as two major public health problems, in people with spinal cord injuries, the mechanisms are not adequately investigated. Multiple risk factors for bone loss and fractures a...

The increased rate of fracture healing and abundant callus formation of long bone fractures in patients with concomitant severe acute traumatic head injury is a well-known orthopedic phenomenon, Few studies, however, have reported these phenomena being induced by acute traumatic Spinal Cord Injury (SCI). There is also a well-established clinical relationship between spinal cord injuries and het...

Abstract Background Although osteosarcoma remains the most common primary malignant neoplasm in bone pediatric age group, involvement of foot is extremely rare. Case presentation Our case demonstrates what appeared to be a cyst calcaneus at an outside institution after injury ankle. The patient was sent our for further workup where Computed Tomography scan revealed permeative lytic lesion with ...
