Tibia and fibula shaft fracture are common among young old, if they not managed correctly, can be debilitating in long term. Management of these fractures depends on severity,stability, pattern fracture. Options range from conservative management by plate to external fixation, especially the case an open Unfortunately, ideal fixation option (commonly used or nail) implant is always available op...

INTRODUCTION Controversy continues around selecting the best strategy for managing nonunions of the humeral diaphysis. The objective of this retrospective study was to analyse the results of management of this complication using a uniform surgical technique. HYPOTHESIS The rate of union obtained in the present series is comparable to the results reported in the literature. PATIENTS AND METH...

BACKGROUND The deltoid splitting approach has recently been widely adopted to facilitate less invasive procedures for proximal humerus fractures. However, there are still concerns regarding its effectiveness in aging people and in cases involving complex fractures. This study was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of a proximal humeral locking plate using the anterolateral deltoid splitting app...

Distal humeral fractures are common fractures especially in immature small breed dogs. The pathogenesis is still unknown. For this study, a three- dimensional bone model of the canine elbow was created and finite element analysis performed in order to determine the relationship between fracture type and bone interactions. Fused and non-fused humeral condyles were considered. A failure criterion...

The study presents results in treatment of pathologic fractures of long bones of all patients who underwent surgery in the last 10 years in our hospital. The study cohort comprised 133 consecutive patients divided in two groups who underwent surgery of long bone fractures caused by metastatic tumor or trauma. We used resection, open reduction and plating with bone cement application for patholo...

Under the auspices of the DECOVALEX II international project, the coupled hydromechanical responses, in the fractured volcanic rocks at Sellafield site, to a pump test and shaft sinking were studied. The aim of this paper is to describe the methodology for analysing the hydromechanical responses of a long-term pump test in borehole RCF3 drilled on the centreline of one of the proposed shafts. T...

Arm wrestling is a sport where two people take opposing positions at table and put their elbows on the with palms together, aim being to make opponent’s hand touch table. wrestling, which seems harmless, may become show of strength for adolescents young adults. Muscle tendon injuries bone fractures occur due arm wrestling. Fractures humeral shaft distal third region can also Here, we present co...

Background: The humerus is one of the long bones upper limb. It may be fractured following traumatic or non-traumatic injury. Humeral shaft fractures account for 1-3% all fractures. However supracondylar fracture more common amongst children accounting about 16% pediatric Trauma especially from falls in both and geriatric populations has been known to cause humeral Other causes had documented a...

PURPOSE. To review 22 patients who underwent 2-plate fixation for non-union of the humeral shaft. METHODS. 13 women and 9 men aged 32 to 76 (mean, 48) years underwent fixation for non-union of the humeral shaft, using a 2-plate construct, together with decortication, debridement, and bone grafting. The two 3.5-mm reconstruction plates were parallel and lying at 90 degrees to each other and fixe...
