The aim of this study was to better quantify the role of delayed MRI scans in acute wrist injuries, and to assess the prevalence and distribution of multiple occult injuries of the wrist. A retrospective study was made of all patients who had been referred to the orthopaedic trauma clinic for a possible scaphoid fracture and with normal radiographs over a two year period. There were 110 patient...

Salsuginus yutanensis n. sp. (Monogenea: Ancyrocephalidae) is described from the gills of the plains topminnow, Fundulus sciadicus Cope, from Clear Creek in eastern Nebraska. Salsuginus yutanensis is distinguished from previously described species by having a shorter accessory piece and different hamulus proportions, especially in the relative lengths of deep and superficial roots. In addition,...

Abstract
 Background: In this study, we examined whether carpal bones (lunate, hamate, capitate) morphologies and fourth metecarp-capitate articulation have an effect on the distal radius fracture pattern.
 
 Methods: 206 patients who applied to emergency department with between 2016-2020 were included in study. Preoperative pre-reduction x-ray films of examined. Lunate, capitate...

Introduction: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is one of the main causes of disability. The diagnosis of CTS confirm by electrodiagnostic tests. Sonography is an alternative method for diagnosis of CTS that can investigate anatomy and probable pathology. The aim of this study is to investigate the multiple sonographic diagnostic criteria and compare its diagnostic value with electrodiagnosis. Mater...

Muscular variations of the flexor compartment of forearm are usual and can result in multiple clinical conditions limiting the functions of forearm and hand. The variations of the muscles, especially accessory muscles may simulate soft tissue tumors and can result in nerve compressions. During a routine dissection of the anterior region of the forearm and hand, an unusual muscle was observed on...

BACKGROUND For internal fixation of AO classification Type B lateral malleolar fracture, insertion of lag screws into the fracture plane and fixation with a one-third tubular plate as a neutralization plate are the standard treatment procedures. The one-third tubular plate is processed to a hook shape and hung on the distal end of the fibula. In this study, to compare the function of the hook a...
