Abstract   Background: Fractures of the tibia are important for their commonness and controversy in their management. Both conservative and surgical techniques have been introduced in an effort to speed time to :::union::: while minimizing the occurrence of complications. Standard treatment for low-energy tibial shaft fractures includes closed reduction and cast immobilization. The purpose of...

abstract : horizontal root fractures in permanent teeth are uncommon injuries among dental traumas. the principle of treating horizontal root fractures of permanent teeth is repositioning and fixation of fractured segment. diagnosis of tooth fractures based on radiographic findings and the fracture healing process are affected by factors before and after injury. the present case reports the tre...

a considerable amount of energy is released in the form of shock wave from explosive charge detonation. shock wave energy is responsible for the creation of crushing and fracture zone around the blast hole. the rest of the shock wave energy is transferred to rock mass as ground vibration. ground vibration is conveyed to the adjacent structures by body and surface waves. geological structures li...

  Background: Intertrochanteric fracture is one of the most common fractures of the hip especially in the elderly with osteoporotic bones, usually due to low-energy trauma like simple falls. Dynamic Hip Screw (DHS) is still considered the gold standard for treating intertrochanteric fractures by many. Not many studies compare the DHS with Proximal femoral nail (PFN), in Type II intertrochanteri...

conclusions in middle-aged subjects with psc, we found a high rate of non-vertebral fractures and a moderately decreased bmd in lumbar spine and hip. fragility fractures had an impact on physical and mental aspects of hrqol. results in 32% of patients, bmd measured in the hip or spine was below 1.0 standard deviation. a history of fragility fractures (distal forearm and ribs) was reported in si...

Introdouction: The incidence and etiology of maxillofacial fractures are influenced by social, cultural, and environmental factors. Understanding the cause, severity, and temporal distribution of maxillofacial trauma provides an insight into the behavioral patterns of people from different countries and can also assist in establishing clinical and research priorities for effective treatment and...

that “nonvertebral fracture incidence was significantly lower in the teriparatide group than in the alendronate group.” That is technically true, but it is misleading. It is generally accepted that fractures of the toes and feet are not related to osteoporosis, and fractures of the ribs and ankles are usually not included in clinical trials to evaluate the effect of medications on osteoporotic ...
