A rare case of radiocarpal dislocation is presented. The lunate and proximal pole of the scaphoid were displaced in a volar and proximal direction. The injury was missed initially and the patient was subsequently operated on six weeks later. Open reduction and internal fixation of the scaphoid was performed and this was followed by an uneventful postoperative period, with a satisfactory functio...

The following case seems of sufficient interest to be recorded. Both ankles, knees, and elbows are affected, and the back of one carpus. The child, A.H., aged five years, was in the Children's Hospital under the care of Mr.

Although one-eighth to one-tenth of all fractures of the wrist are carpal fractures, they may be overlooked, unless attention is directed particularly to them in diagnostic examination. Symptoms may be slight or lacking, but diagnosis is important because such injuries may give rise to pain or disability later. There are certain guides and procedures in physical and roentgenographic examination...

We present a review of a population of 114 immigrant Moroccan males for which an age estimation was requested. The subjects' real chronological age was confirmed by the Moroccan Embassy in Spain. The confirmed age range was between 13 and 25, with an average age of 18.1 years and a standard deviation of 2.03. The following tests were performed to arrive at the forensic estimation of age: genera...

We report the morphogenesis of a new mouse mutant, Doublefoot (Dbf). The major phenotypic features involve the limb and craniofacial regions. There is polydactyly of all 4 limbs, with typically 6-8 digits per limb. All of the digits are triphalangeal; some show bifurcations and some are not attached to the carpus/tarsus. The carpus and tarsus are broader than normal, and their elements are part...

Two new species of urothoid amphipods from Pulau Sibu and Pulau Tinggi, Johor are described and illustrated.

Arthrocentesis of the equine interphalangeal joints and synoviocentesis of the digital synovial sheath is commonly performed for diagnostic analgesia as part of a lameness examination and to medicate these structures. The techniques for arthrocentesis are the same for the forelimb and the hind limb. Restraint is achieved by applying a lip twitch to the horse. Tranquilization or sedation is rare...
