Abstract Background: Osteoporosis is a major public health threat, and hip fracture is a serious consequence of osteoporosis. Apatient with an osteoporosis-related hip fracture has an increased risk for a second hip fracture. The effect of osteoporosis management on the risk of recurrent hip fracture was evaluated in this study. Methods: 58 hip fracture patients older than 50yr and BMD < 2.5 w...

  Abstract   Background: The tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long   bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. In accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia   fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures.   The purpose of the study was to asses...

autologous bone is considered the first choice as material of cranioplasty because of its biological and anatomical features. however in some situations such as skull fractures or tumors the bone flap is not available or it must be replaced with a heterologous cranioplasty because of the development of surgical complications. authors of this study aimed to identify which are the best materials ...

conclusions in this study, use of one miniplate or two miniplates for treatment of favorable mandibular angle fractures was associated with a similar incidence of complications. thus, it seems that the use of two miniplates in this setting may not be warranted, nor cost-efficient. results in the single miniplate group, 25 patients showed lip numbness associated with surgery (55.6%), 22 patients...

background humerus supracondyllar fracture is one of the most common elbow injuries. choice of treatment depends on grading of the displacement. closed reduction and pinning is the preferred method of treatment. open reduction is indicated when we encounter neurovascular injury after closed reduction. one of the most important factors in the outcome of surgery is an appropriate approach that wo...

Natural fractures and discontinuities have significant impact on subsurface flow conditions thus production, of carbonate reservoirs, particularly in low-permeability sediments such as chalk-marl successions characterizing the Lower Cretaceous reservoirs Danish North Sea. Yet diversity distribution are often poorly understood largely underestimated. In heterogeneous, tight natural can enhance p...

background: fracture, is discontinuity of anatomical bone relations. commonly, a maxillofacial fracture occurs after trauma but the etiology and pattern of this entity is different amongst countries. the aim of this study was to clarify the main causes of this entity in yazd to increase public and professional awareness to prevent more injuries and subsequent consequences. materials and methods...

History matching of a stochastic model of field-scale fractures: methodology and case study — This paper focuses on the history matching of stochastic models of large-scale fractures under seismic resolution, namely sub-seismic faults and fracture swarms. First, we propose an object-based stochastic model for describing geological features of large-scale fractures. This model accounts for stati...
