Osteoporosis is a common metabolic skeletal disorder characterized by decreased bone mass and deteriorated bone structure, leading to increased susceptibility to fractures. With aging population, osteoporotic fractures are of global health and socioeconomic importance. The three-dimensional microstructural information of the common osteoporosis-related fracture sites, including vertebra, femora...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of treatment using kirschner wires and tensioning bands for tarsocrural luxation with malleolus fractures resulting from trauma in dogs. eight dogs with tarsocrural luxation due to malleolus fracture were selected. following intrathecal anesthesia, the malleolus bone was returned to its normal position using two kirschner wires and ten...

  Background: Considering the importance of an early diagnosis and proper decision-making in regards to the treatment of pediatric distal radius and elbow fractures, this study examines emergency medicine specialists’ accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Methods: From 2012 and 2013, children less than 14 years old who were referred to an academic hospital emergency departm...

The explosion process of explosives in a borehole applies a very high pressure on its surrounding rock media. This process can initiate and propagate rock fractures, and finally, may result in the rock fragmentation. Rock fragmentation is mainly caused by the propagation of inherent pre-existing fractures of the rock mass and also from the extension of the newly formed cracks within the intact ...

the dependence of the lateral distribution of cherenkov light in simulated extensive air showers to the energy and the mass of the primary cosmic rays has been studied. it has been shown that a previous claim about mass independent proportionality of shower energy to the total cherenkov photon number is not valid in energies below eeas ~ 1014 ev. we have found that the core distance of the so c...

This study was designed to investigate the biomechanics of human head injury with a focus on skull fracture due to side impact loading. Temporo-parietal impact tests were conducted using specimens from ten unembalmed post mortem human subjects. The specimens were isolated at the occipital condyle level, and pre-test x-ray and computed tomography images were obtained. They were prepared with mul...

Simultaneous combination of fracture of the lateral condyle and postero-medial elbow dislocation is a rare event and limited to few reports or case series in the literature. Rarity of the injury also necessitates judicious diagnosis and appropriate management to ensure optimal functional outcome. Various authors have reported about the condition including the management which mostly includes su...

Simultaneous fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation is very rare injury in adults. Only a few cases have been reported in literature in pediatric age groups. The authors describe a case report of fracture of lateral condyle and medial epicondyle of humerus along with elbow dislocation in a young adult. The patient sustained injury in the form o...

148 Western Journal of Emergency Medicine Figure. Both anterior and posterior margins of the medial tibial plateau are distinctly visible but the anterior aspect of the lateral plateau is not (arrowheads), a subtle indicator of the depressed fracture. Associated sclerosis (arrow) is noted. Lateral image demonstrates a small knee joint effusion (small arrow). Three-dimensional computed tomograph...
