ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES To compare the clinical results of osteosynthesis with plate and screws versus anterograde locked intramedullary nail in fractures of the distal third of humeral diaphysis. MATERIAL AND METHODS 184 patients with fractures of the distal third of humeral diaphysis were included in a prospective study. 82 patients underwent open reduction and internal fixation with plate a...

Although there have been many reports of small bone and vertebral involvement in sarcoidosis, long bone pathology is rare. We report a case of almost identical bilateral fractures of the proximal femoral diaphysis during separated in time through a low-energy mode of injury, and explore the difficulties encountered when seeking radiological and tissue diagnosis.

The transverse sections of radius diaphysis in an 11-year-old giant Holstein cow with dermal dysplasia of a collagen disorder-related skin fragility (Cow 1), probably based on increasing turnover of the dermal collagen as reported previously, were morphologically and physico-chemically investigated. Cow 1 had about one and a half times as much as the body weight of normal Holstein cows, aged 5 ...

UNLABELLED Open fractures, especially III grade open fractures of the tibial diaphysis, according to the Gustilo classification still remains a serious therapeutic problem. The aim of the study was to evaluate the clinical results after operative treatment of III grade open fractures of diaphysis of the tibia and to promote a new method of fracture fixation. MATERIAL AND METHODS 48 patients w...

introduction: depending on mode, intensity and length of application, and stage of development, the low-frequency electromagnetic fields (lfes) can induce a wide variety of biological effects in organisms. the chick limb bud is a powerful experimental system for study pattern formation in vertebrate embryo. the aim of this study was to examine the effects of an application lfes (50hz, 50g) on c...
