We present two patients with a displaced fracture of the small finger metacarpal base, where the shaft of the small finger metacarpal was wedged between the bases of the ring and small finger metacarpals. The striking appearance on radiographs led to initial recommendations for surgery, but both patients preferred non-operative treatment and did well in the short term without surgery

finger prints of 68 patients with down's syndrome and 93 controls have been collected and analyzed for topological of formulation of finger tip patterns suggested by loesch (1975). the results showed that there may be great differences in the dictionary of the finger patterns of the patients and their controls. mean lunar and radial patterns showed mostly significant differences among the patie...

abstract  background: the goal of this report is to show our results with extension block technique for treatment of mallet fracture. the indications for this technique were the presence of a large bone fragment, and palmar subluxation.  methods: we retrospectively assessed the results of treatment in 14 mallet fractures  which have been treated by extension block technique to determine the ran...

Intuitively, one can assume that imitating a movement is an easier task than responding to a symbolic stimulus like a verbal instruction. Support for this suggestion can be found in neuropsychological research as well as in research on stimulus-response compatibility. However controlled experimental evidence for this assumption is still lacking. We used a stimulus-response compatibility paradig...

osteoid osteomata are rarely found in the distal phalanges of the hand. the usual presenting features are chronic pain, nail enlargement and increase in size of the terminal part of the digit. diagnosis is difficult but surgical excision is effective for treating the patients’pain. we reported this tumor in distal phalanx of the middle finger.

Many patients with upper limb defects desire myoelectric prosthetic hands, but they are still not used for some reasons. One of the most significant reasons is its external appearance, which has discomfort caused by structural difference between a human hand and robotic link. The structure must be based on anatomy to create more natural-looking prosthesis. This study designed biomimetic bones, ...

Introduction: Hand and wrist stability are critical for optimal upper extremity function. Instability occurs when injury or a pathological condition alters balance, typically in the basketball players and handball players. Injury also can occur whenever the ligaments are subjected to tensile forces that exceed their physiological capacities. For example, thumb is stable in ext...

We present wide-field and high-sensitivity CO(1-0) molecular line observations toward the Cassiopeia region, using 13.7m millimeter telescope of Purple Mountain Observatory (PMO). The CO reveal a large-scale highly filamentary cloud within Galactic region 132\fdg0\,$\geq$\,$l$\,$\geq$\,122\fdg0 -1\fdg0\,$\leq$\,$b$\,$\leq$\,3\fdg0 velocity range from approximately +1 to +4 km/s. measured length...

(2016) Commentary: Conservation of AtTZF1, AtTZF2, and AtTZF3 homolog gene regulation by salt stress in evolutionarily distant plant species. In the research article entitled " Conservation of AtTZF1, AtTZF2, and AtTZF3 homolog gene regulation by salt stress in evolutionary distant plant species " , D'Orso et al. (2015) have presented the genomic characterization of two homeologous zinc finger ...
