Ectrodactyly is a rare anomaly seen in the appendicular skeleton and characterized by cleft or split between bone soft tissue distal regions of extremities. may be associated with absence hypoplasia several carpal-metacarpal bones, phalanx duplication, metacarpal synostosis. In this case report, 2-years-old mixed breed male dog was presented withhold up left forelimb inspectional abnormality cl...

Figure 2 Technique of splinting metacarpal fractures directly or using the proximal phalanx as a piston. The main issue with the closed technique is maintaining the reduced position in a plaster cast once moulding is complete, thereby commonly necessitating surgical stabilisation. We describe a novel and useful technique that maintains the reduction in the intrinsic plus (Edinburgh) position wi...

Suday, O cber 8, 2017 $500, people would rather experience two weeks in a cast, three weeks in a brace, two months of soreness, or a 2% increase in the risk of treatment failure. A one point decrease in an individual’s apprehension about surgery has the same impact on treatment selection as a $600 reduction in the cost of surgery. Individuals who have undergone surgery in the past, and those wi...

This study involves the evaluation of pre-purchase radiographic studies of South African Thoroughbred yearlings. Radiographic changes were recorded and compared with similar international studies. The study differs from other studies in that a lower prevalence of pedal osteitis (1.26%), dorsal osteochondral fragmentation of the metatarsophalangeal joint (1.60%), distal metacarpal sagittal ridge...

DESCRIPTION A 22-year-old man, right-hand dominant, presented with pain in his left hand after a severe crush injury at work using a forklift. Deformity, open fractures, swelling over the dorsum of his hand, and paresthesias to the index and middle digits were evident during initial examination. He was vascularly intact. Radiographs showed markedly comminuted fractures of the index metacarpal n...

Objective The aim of this study was to measure the ratio of bone cortex (C) to bone diameter (D), (C/D) in radius/tibia, metacarpus /metatarsus and proximal phalanges in fore and hindlimbs to be used as a diagnostic guide in metabolic and nutritional diseases in Minature Donkey. DesignExperimental study AnimalsEight adult Minature donkeys. ProceduresLateromedial, dorsopalmar and dorsoplantar ra...

The effect of pulsing electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) on bone repair was studied in principal metacarpal bones of eight adult male horses: Six horses were treated with PEMFs, and two horses were untreated. In treated horses, Helmholtz coils were applied during a 60-day period to the left metacarpal bones, bored with eight holes of equal diameter and depth, from the middiaphysis toward the distal...

The morphology of trabecular bone has proven sensitive to loading patterns in the long bones and metacarpal heads of primates. It is expected that we should also see differences in the manual digits of primates that practice different methods of locomotion. Primate proximal and middle phalanges are load-bearing elements that are held in different postures and experience different mechanical str...
