Tra~mSl may produce a very important tissular destruction with severe problems at bones, muscles and, of course, acute insufficiency both arterial and venous, of parts of a limb or of an entire limb. In all patients with so severe trauma, the blood supply to the crushed area is compromised and the survival of the limb is not guaranteed. So, in the treatment of a limb injury, priority should be ...

Basilosauridae, fully aquatic archaeocetes from the Eocene, had osteosclerotic or pachyosteosclerotic structure of ribs and, sometimes, other bones. Such a is far different osteoporotic-like bones modern cetaceans. A microanatomical and histological study was conducted on axial limb skeleton several basilosaurid specimens assigned to genus Basilotritus , Bartonian (late middle Eocene) deposits ...

Various terrestrial tetrapods convergently evolved to gigantism (large body sizes and masses), the most extreme case being sauropod dinosaurs. Heavy weight-bearing taxa often show external morphological features related this condition, but also adequacy in their limb bone inner structure: a spongiosa filling medullary area rather thick cortex varying greatly thickness along shaft. However, micr...

This study is focused on examination of ancient Egyptian mummy with congenital limb deformity from noble Egyptian mummy back to new kingdom-18th dynasty date from 1550-1295 BCE owned by Egyptian museum in El-Tharir – Egypt. Unilateral deformities were observed with ankle torsion and the neck of the talus was higher than normal. The CT images suggested abnormalities in shape of the tarsal bones ...

A chart is presented to assist with the assessment and treatment of patients with growth-related deformities. It is based on anthropometric values from five published sources and relates sitting height to stature, limb length, the radiographic lengths of the leg bones and the lengths of the feet and hands. It has proved useful in the prediction of leg-length discrepancies, in the diagnosis of c...

Brodie's abscess is a form of subacute osteomyelitis, which typically involves the metaphyses of the long tubular bones, particularly in the tibia. The diagnosis is usually made incidentally, as there are no accompanying symptoms or laboratory studies. Bilateral involvement at the proximal tibia is unusual. However, orthopaedic surgeons should be aware of this entity, as it may present witho...

Gtunshot wounds of the extremities, when complicated with compound fractures, and splintering of the bones, are justly regarded as most serious injuries, so much so, that the hope of saving a limb under such circumstances, is seldom entertained ; for, independent of the danger of mortification, which, in the first instance, is always to be apprehended, and the chance of the patient ultimately s...

Based on a single observation some evidence is presented suggesting that predation of Hamilton's frog by tuatara is occurring on Stephens Island, 40<> 40' S, 174 <>00' E in Cook Strait, Bones of the left hind limb of a frog were identified from a tuatara dropping collected from the frogs' habitat. Because of the tenuous state of the island's frog population, factors thought to limit the inciden...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com Urol Nephrol Open Access J 2015, 2(2): 00032 but usually it is associated with other abnormalities, such as anorectal malformation and mal development of the bones or joints of the lower limb [3]. Voiding dysfunction and recurrent urinary tract infection are common urological presentation [2]. However, kidney damage could occur if diagnosis is delay...

Excision arthroplasty of the interphalangeal joint was used as an alternative to digit amputation for comminuted fractures of the phalangeal bones in two dogs. Both patients had return of pain-free use of the affected limb, even though both weight-bearing digits were involved in one case. This type of surgery might prove to be superior to the more invasive digit amputation, salvaging the digits...
