background fractures of the knee account for about 6% of all trauma admissions. while its management is mostly focused on fracture treatment, it is not the only factor that defines the final outcome. objectives this study aimed to study objective and subjective outcomes after proximal tibial versus distal femoral fractures in terms of knee instability and health-related quality of life. patient...

background: although giant cell tumor (gct) is considered to be a primary benign bone tumor, its aggressive behavior makes its diagnosis and treatment, difficult and challenging. this is especially true in distal radius where gct appears to be more aggressive and difficult to control locally. we report our clinical outcome of en-block resection and reconstruction with non-vascularized fibular a...

background:  distal femur wedge osteotomies for varus or valgus alignment of the lower extremity could be done in either uniplanar or biplanar fashion.:union: time and stability of the osteotomy site has been considered important in this anatomic region. in this study, clinical and radiographic findings of biplane distal femur osteotomy were reported. methods: clinical, functional, and radiolog...

 Background: Mal:::union::: is the most common complication following distal radius fractures. Aim of this study was to evaluate the results of distal radius corrective osteotomy and plate fixation by dorsal approach in the mal:::union:::. Methods: In this retrospective study, 14 patients with neglected distal radius mal:::union::: from 2005 to 2011 were studied. All patients were treated ...

introduction: distal radius fractures are a common traumatic injury, particularly in the elderly population. in the present study we examined the effectiveness of ultrasound guidance in the reduction of distal radius fractures in adult patients presenting to emergency department (ed). methods: in this prospective case control study, eligible patients were adults older than 18 years who presente...

Ninety nine healthy young volunteers (58 men, 34 women, aged 17-27 years) answered a questionnaire concerning their bowel habit with particular reference to the effects of beverages. Twenty nine per cent (63% women) claimed that coffee induced a desire to defecate. The rectosigmoid motor responses to black, unsweetened coffee were then investigated by multiport manometry in 14 healthy-subjects ...

We prove that the Möbius function is linearly disjoint from an analytic skew product on the 2-torus. These flows are distal and can be irregular in that their ergodic averages need not exist for all points. We also establish the linear disjointness of Möbius from various distal homogeneous flows.
