The aim of this study was to compare clinical and radiological outcome of lateral condyle fracture of the elbow in children treated with bioabsorbable or metallic material. From January 2008 to December 2009, 16 children with similar fractures and ages were grouped according to the fixation material used. Children were seen at 3, 6, and 12 months and more than 4 years (mean 51.8 months) postope...

Introduction Three-dimensional image data of the human body can provide much information to the medical field and 3D simulated navigation surgery is popular in total knee arthroplasty. However, very little study has been conducted in the upper extremity including the hand. Non union of the lateral condyle fracture combined with cubitus valgus deformity often results in a painful elbow together ...

BACKGROUND No study has used 3-D anatomic knee models to investigate the gender differences in anterior femoral condyles. Therefore, this study aims to determine the morphologic differences between genders in anterior femoral condyles of the knees using 3-D anatomic knee models. METHODS Ninety-six male and sixty-five female 3D anatomic knee models were used to measure lateral and medial anter...

The incidence of fractures involving the mandibular condyle are stated by most authors to be the second-most common type of fracture of the mandible with male-female ratio 2:1. Condylar fracture may results in restricted mouth opening, restricted movement of the jaw and malocclusion, Mal-occlusion following condylar trauma may result from alteration in the condylar growth center or union of the...

INTRODUCTION Injuries combining a humeral head fracture-dislocation and a shaft fracture of the ipsilateral humerus are very rare. They should be separated from extended fractures of the humeral head to the shaft [1]. CASE REPORT We present the case of an active 84-year-old man who sustained a three-part fracture-dislocation of the proximal humerus combined with a long spiral humeral middle t...

It is well known that injury ofthe capitulum is both common and important in childhood. Although much has been written on the subject, the frequency and importance of premature fusion of the epiphysis has not been fully appreciated. Clinical material-Twenty-eight children suffering from injury to the capitular epiphysis were reviewed. The age at the time of injury varied from three to twelve ye...

Abstract: The condyle is the most common site of mandibular fracture. In present study, an attempt was made to utilize three-dimensional computed tomography (3D-CT) images evaluate fractures and identify prognostic indicators malocclusion after closed treatment. Accurate morphometric measurements were performed using 3D-CT obtained before trauma, healing. Morphometry revealed significant differ...

Cubitus varus or “gunstock” deformity, a common longterm complication of a supracondylar fracture [1]. Components of cubitus varus deformity are: a) medial angulation, b) medial rotation, c) extension of distal fragment with or without d) medial epicondyle epiphyseal injury leading to delayed growth of medial condyle and cubitus varus deformity [2]. It is generally believed that functional impa...
