Plain radiographs show only two dimensions of a three-dimensional object. On anteroposterior and lateral radiographs an implant may appear to be safely within the head of the femur although surface penetration has occurred. We have attempted to identify this complication in the treatment of fractures of the femoral neck and have analysed the position of a screw or pin in the femoral head and ne...

Introduction: Fractures of the clavicle are common and make up 5% 10% of all fractures. Treatment options in part depend on the location of the fracture along the bone and degree of displacement. These two parameters are best determined by good quality, standardized radiographs of the clavicle. We reviewed the literature to determine the optimal radiographs of clavicle fractures and their influ...

Injuries of the spine, and its posterior elements in particular, are a common occurrence in trauma patients, with potentially devastating consequences. Computer-aided detection (CADe) could assist in the detection and classification of spine fractures. Furthermore, CAD could help assess the stability and chronicity of fractures, as well as facilitate research into optimization of treatment para...

in this paper, we propose space-time block codes based on constituent intersectant orthogonal designs. after channel model is formulated, we studied the space-time block codes from constituent intersectant orthogonal designs. at last we made simulations for the space-time block codes from complex orthogonal design and the space-time block codes from constituent intersectant orthogonal design to...

Fractures in low and ultra-low permeability reservoirs create a complex network, affecting fluid flow patterns pressure propagation. However, limited research exists on the impact of fracture properties within these networks. To address this, we introduce shadow area penetration ratio concepts derived from studying single reservoirs. Using sophisticated model analyze how various influence reser...

BACKGROUND This study presents the outcomes of low transcondylar fractures of the distal humerus treated by open reduction and internal fixation. METHODS Between 1996 and 2010, 263 distal humeral fractures were managed at our institution. Patients with a true low transcondylar fracture treated by open reduction and internal fixation were included. Fourteen patients form the basis of this stud...
