Background: Ankle fractures, especially those resulting from external rotation mechanisms are associated with injury to the distal tibiofibular syndesmosis. Some authors have recommended performing CT scanning after open ankle surgery to evaluate the reduction of syndesmosis. In this current study, we aimed to investigate the sensitivity of plain radiography in diagnosing syndesmosis malreduc...

background: humerus fractures include 5% to 8% of total fractures. non-:union: and delayed :union: of gt (gt) fractures is uncommon; however they present a challenge to the orthopedic surgeons. significant controversy surrounds optimal treatment of neglected fractures. the purpose of this article was to perform a comparative study to evaluate the outcomes of open reduction and internal fixation...

Although distal radius fractures are in the centre of orthopedic surgeons' attention, the rate of unsatisfactory treatment results remains very high. This study evaluates the analytical approach to distal radius fracture treatment. We observed 59 patients divided into 4 groups according to a modified Fernandez classification, regarding the patomechanism of injury: 1. bending extraarticular frac...

We consider the magnetic field of a shell uniformly magnetized by an internal dipole that is subsequently removed. The Gauss coefficients of the resulting field are given in terms of the spherical harmonic coefficients of the shell thickness. This general solution can easily be reduced to common special cases by superposition. For a shell of constant thickness the external field vanishes (by Ru...

conclusions due to the shorter :union: time, to some extent less complication rate and comparable functional and clinical results, the authors recommend to use the mipo technique in treating the mid-distal humeral shaft fracture. results the median of :union: time was shorter in the mipo group (4 months versus 5 months). the time of surgery and functional outcomes based on the ucla and meps sco...

RESULTS: Following a normal, spontaneous vaginal delivery, the patient underwent bone grafts and ORIF of the left forearm and metacarpal bones. We then utilized the newly available and pliable abdominal skin to cover the large soft tissue defect. The abdominal wall flap was raised, thinned and then the injured extremity was carefully inset in a subcutaneous abdominal pocket and a meshed bilayer...

Abstract Aim Despite the low incidence of pilon fractures, their high impact nature presents difficulties in surgical management/recovery. Current literature is varied, with no universal treatment algorithm. We aim to highlight differences treatment, outcomes, complications between open and closed fractures. Method This retrospective study was conducted at a major trauma centre, including patie...
