Background: Pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures are the most common elbow fractures in children. Operative management includes closed reduction and placement of 2 to 3 laterally based pins. Occasionally, a medial pin is used to create a crossed fixation pattern, despite risk of nearly 10% iatrogenic ulnar nerve injury. The objective of this study was to assess the trends and outcomes in t...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Supracondylar fracture of the humerus is the most common elbow fracture in children. This fracture needs immediate diagnosis and treatment, otherwise, it may lead to significant neurovascular and functional problems. The aim of this study was to assess the short term outcome of displaced supracondylar fracture of the humerus in children by open reduction and pining from...

BACKGROUND The treatment of supracondylar humerus fracture in children (SHFC) is associated with complications such as functional deficit, residual deformity, and iatrogenic neurological damage. The standard treatment is closed reduction and percutaneous Kirschner wire fixation with different configurations. Despite this fact, there is still no consensus on the most effective technique for the ...

Objective: The purpose of this study is to retrospectively analyze the efficacy of modified cross pinning fixation and external tension band technique in the treatment of Gartland Type III supracondylar humerus fractures in children. Methods: From February 2008 to August 2011, 62 children suffered to GartlandIII kids’ supracondylar humerus fracture aged 7.1 (2.5 12) years were treated with open...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study is to report on a cohort of patients with a volar shearing fracture of the distal end of the radius in whom the unique anatomy of the distal cortical rim of the radius led to failure of support of a volar ulnar lunate facet fracture fragment. METHODS Seven patients with a volar shearing fracture of the distal part of the radius who lost fixation of ...

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Intra-articular fractures of the distal radius are treated predominantly by open reduction and internal fixation with various types of angle-stable plates. In this study we compare functional and radiographic outcomes in patients with intra-articular distal radius fractures treated with either angle-stable plates with rigid-direction screw insertion or multidirectional angl...

Oneand two-dimensional H NMR spectroscopy were used to study the biotransformation of two dietary glucosinolates, sinigrin (SIN), and glucotropaeolin (GTL) by the human digestive microflora in vitro. The molecular structures of the new metabolites issued from the aglycone moiety of the glucosinolate were identified, and the modulation of carbon metabolism was studied by quantifying bacterial me...

None Background: Good discussion of the controversy. Past studies have suggested that anatomy and function do not necessarily coordinate with outcome. This prospective study helps to better answer the question. Methods and Material 1. Why was the study delayed in presentation when the data was developed in 2002? This current study is part of a large research project and the first data to be ana...
