A sample of 38 patients aged under 14 treated at the Surgery Clinic of the University Hospital Osijek has been used in showing therapeutic guidelines supported by patients' functional status after the completed treatment. The patients suffered from supracondylar fractures caused by traffic accidents and classified into three types according to Gartland. Not a single patient with neurocirculator...

PURPOSE To assess the results of treatment for flexion-type supracondylar humeral fracture in children. METHODS The treatment of 14 children with flexion-type supracondylar humeral fracture was reviewed. Severity was classified according to the Gartland system for extension-type fractures. Type-I fractures were treated with immobilisation in an extension cast. For type-II and -III fractures, ...

We consider radial hedgehog equilibrium configurations of the tensor order parameter in spherical droplets of nematic liquid crystals modeled by free energies of Landau-de Gennes type. We show that such configurations must cease to be metastable at sufficiently low temperatures in droplets of sufficiently large radii for all but a very limited range of elastic-constant ratios, which are very ne...

Introduction: The most common cause of distal radius fracture is a fall on an outstretched hand. Osteoporosis can make a relatively trivial fall result in a broken wrist. Many distal radius fractures in people older than 60 years of age are caused by a fall from a standing position Methodology: Total of 1336 bony injuries were reported to Hospital casualty and orthopedic opd during the study pe...

Supracondylar fractures of humerus in children are the most common pediatric elbow fractures that account for about 70% of elbow fractures [1-3]. These fractures are divided into two types; extension (98%) and flexion (2%) type. Regarding to the amount of displacement, the extension type is divided by Gartland into type I (without displacement), type II (with displacement but intact posterior c...

Twelve patients with fracture of the distal radius were treated by open reduction and internal fixation with titanium minifragment plates. There were 8 women and 3 men, with a mean age of 42 years. The mean follow-up was 18 months. According to the score of Gartland and Werley, 11 patients had an excellent result and one patient had a good result. All patients reported no pain in their activiti...

We performed a systematic review of early versus delayed treatment for type III Gartland supracondylar humeral fractures in children. We identified five non-randomised retrospective studies that fulfilled our criteria. We performed the analysis on 396 patients who sustained a type III supracondylar humeral fracture of which 243 (61.4%) belonged to the early treatment group and 153 (38.6%) belon...
