Background: Humeral condylar fractures have fracture lines that extend through the joint surface and one or both epicondyles epicondylar crests, into distal shaft. Addressing articular in dogs lateral approach by using positional transcondylar screws. Methods: A total of four cases with different age groups, breeds sex fore limb lameness caused due to trauma were included study. Clinical standa...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study is to explore the clinical outcomes of anatomical allograft or fibula shaft augmentation with locking compression plates (LCPs) in elderly patients with four-part proximal humeral fracture (PHF). METHODS A total of 22 elderly patients with four-part PHF underwent allograft augmentation with LCPs for treatment. Among them, 7 cases received anatomical allograft ...

The purpose of this study was to outline the epidemiologic criteria of humerus fractures after traumatic injuries. All patients admitted to the trauma service at the authors' institution between 2005 and 2011 were entered into a prospective database. The authors obtained data on age, sex, injury mechanism, presence and location of humerus fracture, associated injuries, mortality, Injury Severit...

BACKGROUND The choice of plates or intramedullary nails for operatively treated humeral shaft fractures remains controversial, since randomized controlled trials have lacked sufficient power. A meta-analysis of existing trials would improve inferences regarding the treatment effect. METHODS We reviewed randomized trials in Medline, Cochrane and SciSearch, along with other sources of published...

The authors retrospectively studied the clinical and radiographic outcomes of locking compressive plate (LCP) metaphyseal plate fixation through the anterolateral approach in patients treated surgically for unstable distal third humeral shaft fractures. Twenty seven patients were treated surgically with LCP metaphyseal plate using brachialis splitting methods through the anterolateral approach....

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty may be performed using components that medialize or lateralize the center of rotation. The purpose of this prospective study was to directly compare 2 reverse shoulder arthroplasty designs. Two treatment groups and 1 control group were identified. Group I comprised 9 patients using a medialized Grammont-style (GRM) prosthesis with a neck-shaft angle of 155°. Group ...

Regression of an HCV-associated disseminated marginal zone lymphoma under IFN-free antiviral treatment Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is prevalent in B-cell–associated lymphomas, including marginal zone and diffuse large B-cell lymphomas. 1 A step-wise model of lymphomagenesis induced by chronic antigenic stimulation and/or a direct pro-oncogenic effect of intracellular HCV proteins is a possible mech...

OBJECTIVES To determine the rate of iatrogenic radial nerve palsy (RNP) after surgical repair of established humeral shaft nonunion (HSNU). DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Level I trauma center. PATIENTS/PARTICIPANTS Fifty-four patients with HSNU, 10 (18.5%) of whom developed an iatrogenic RNP after nonunion repair. INTERVENTION HSNU repair with compression plate stabilizatio...

Acute osteomyelitis developing in a closed fracture is extremely rare. Only twenty six such cases have been reported in literature so far with most cases being associated with immunodeficiency or polytraumaalongwith a potential source of infection though none of them involved the humeral shaft. We report a case of acute osteomyelitis of shaft of humerus in an unpredisposed 50 year old male with...
