conclusions epo injection into the site of tibiofibular fractures may possibly accelerate healing. background erythropoietin (epo), in addition to its function as an erythropoiesis regulator has a regenerative activity on some nonhematopoietic tissues. animal studies have suggested a role for erythropoietin in bone healing. objectives the present study aimed to evaluate the effects of local epo...

conclusions the result of the present study confirmed that students participating in different organized sports at high school level are at a very high risk of getting orodental injury. hence knowledge and education regarding prevention of traumatic injuries is of paramount importance. results 30.3% (n = 335) of students suffered from orodental injuries. a higher number of girls had injury (32%...

conclusions the most relevant finding was that hook pinning in pauwels type iii fracture may result in delayed :union: or non:union: due to significantly increased stress of a traction force at the fracture site that works to displace the fracture. however, in a pauwels type i fracture, increased compression stress contributes to stabilize it. surgeons are recommended not to treat pauwels type ...

conclusions hematoma block analgesia used in distal radius fractures of the elderly is a very safe and effective method that seems preferable to general anesthesia in emergency departments. objectives the aim of this study was to compare two analgesia methods including hematoma block and general anesthesia in people over 60 years in the orthopedic emergency department. methods 68 elderly patien...
