A 24-year-oldathlete presented following a fall onto an outstretched hand during a football match, total functional impotence of both upper limbs with swollen elbows, pain, without skin opening or motor deficit (A). Radiography of both elbows was objectified a fracture of the both olecranon (B).The patient was treated by tension-band wiring fixation with precocious postoperative rehabilitation ...

A pipeline inspection gauge (PIG) is routinely passed throughout the long-distance oil and gas pipelines by operators to clean pipeline. Sealing performance a significant evaluation index for PIG's safety operation. To comprehensively evaluate seal performance, nonlinear finite element models were developed, parametric analysis was conducted in this study. The accuracy of simulation model valid...

Introduction Although supracondylar fractures of the humerus are common in children, open fractures of are extremely rare injuries. Gustilo- Anderson Type-III fractures in the upper extremity are primarily associated with considerable bone loss resulting from high energy trauma. In this study, a case of open pediatric supracondylar humerus fracture treated by a joint and defect spanning multipl...

We report the results of a series of 59 unconstrained total arthroplasties of the elbow after a mean follow-up of 6.5 years (4 to 10). All the patients had rheumatoid arthritis. The indication for surgery was pain in all but one. Outcome was assessed by the Mayo Elbow Performance Index (MEPI). Of the 59 arthroplasties, two were lost to follow-up. Ten patients died, but as two of their arthropla...

Ten dogs over a 6 year period had surgical stabilisation of traumatic elbow luxation (TEL) post closed reduction. Rechecking instability 48 hours after closed reduction may detect undiagnosed instability. Fifty percent of dogs had local tissue complications in association with the screws and wire used to stabilise the joint. Long term outcome was assessed using clinical notes and owner question...

Complications of harvesting autologous bone graft from the iliac crest and tibia are well known; exclusive use of upper extremity donor sites in hand surgery has therefore been advocated. Six weeks of postoperative elbow splinting has been recommended after harvest of large proximal ulnar grafts. We report two cases of pathologic fracture of the proximal ulna complicating local bone grafting an...

A 28-year-old woman with stage V chronic kidney disease (CKD) of unknown aetiology developed pain and stiffness in her right elbow. There was no history of trauma. On examination, there was a hard mass over the dorsal aspect of the distal triceps, but a near full range of movement. Plain X-ray (Figure 1) showed extensive soft tissue calcification within the triceps muscle. The heterotopic calci...
