OBJECTIVE To conduct a descriptive analysis on 31 cases of children with floating elbow who were attended at our clinic between 1994 and 2009, and to review the literature relating to this topic. METHODS Data were obtained through examining the medical records. The following variables were used: age, gender, side, mechanism, type of fracture, classification, treatment and complications. RES...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the differences of open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) of complex AO Type C distal radius fractures between two different models of a single implant type. METHODS A total of 136 patients who received either a 2.4 mm (n = 61) or 3.5 mm (n = 75) distal radius locking compression plate (LCP DR) using a volar approach were followed over two years. The main outcom...

We investigate the effect of a magnetic field on the shape and director field of nematic droplets in dispersions of sterically stabilized and charge-stabilized colloidal gibbsite platelets with a negative diamagnetic anisotropy. Depending on the magnetic field strength and tactoid size, we observe with polarized light microscopy several interesting structures, with different shapes and director...

BACKGROUND Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common elbow injury that requires reduction and immobilization in the proper position to union. There are a few reports regarding the position of the forearm immobilization on elbow cosmetic outcome. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to compare two modes of the forearm, supination and pronation in elbow deformity incidence after closed re...

Introduction: Distal radius fractures are common, and internal fixation for operative management of these injuries is widely accepted. Although use the volar approach plate has become more popular, benefits dorsal surgical include potential direct reduction assessment articular alignment, evaluation concomitant intrinsic intercarpal ligament injury, initiation early range motion. For certain fr...

BACKGROUND The standard treatment for severe displaced pediatric supracondylar humeral fracture (SCHF) is closed reduction and percutaneous pin fixation. However, controversy persists concerning the optimal pin fixation technique. The purpose of this study was to compare the safety and efficacy on the configuration of lateral entry only with crossed entry pin fixation for SCHF, including Gartla...

PURPOSE Outcomes are excellent following surgical management of displaced supracondylar humerus fractures. Short delays until surgical fixation have been shown to be equivalent to immediate fixation with regards to complications. We hypothesized that insurance coverage may impact access to care and the patient's ability to return to the operating room for outpatient surgery. METHODS A retrosp...

INTRODUCTION: Post-operative pain control in pediatric patients has become a priority for all institutions. There is a paucity of literature on pain control following orthopedic procedures in the pediatric population. The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of acetaminophen to narcotic analgesics, specifically, acetaminophen/codeine and morphine, for pain management after closed re...
