Concerns about bone health and potential fragility in children and adolescents have led to a high interest in bone densitometry. Pediatric patients with genetic and acquired chronic diseases, immobility, and inadequate nutrition may fail to achieve expected gains in bone size, mass, and strength, leaving them vulnerable to fracture. In older adults, bone densitometry has been shown to predict f...

Conventional complete denture prosthetics require several appointments to register the maxillomandibular relationship and evaluate the esthetics. The fabrication of milled complete dental prostheses with digital scanning technology may decrease the number of appointments. The step-by-step method necessary to obtain impressions, maxillomandibular relation records, and anterior tooth position wit...

background femur fracture is one of the most common fractures in children. certain parameters such as the patient’s age, the exact location of fracture, type of fracture, the mechanism of fracture, and the accompanying injuries determine which one of the many treatment techniques be used in each case. objectives we aimed to compare the results of close and open techniques in pediatric femoral s...

This study was conducted to explore epidemiologic features of traumatic elbow dislocation with associated fractures in pediatric population following appropriate treatment options.Incidence of elbow dislocation with associated fractures was analyzed in 67 children using elbow radiographs. Treatment for the displaced elbow joint was performed by closed reduction and proper immobilization. Surgic...

INTRODUCTION The debate regarding the description on classification and nomenclature of the injury which includes olecranon fracture associated with radial neck fractures in children is ongoing. We report two pediatric cases that could not be classified in a Monteggia-equivalents system and were treated with open reduction and k-wire fixation. The aim of this study was to perform a systematic r...

This retrospective study is performed on 423 cases of skull farcture who refered to "Loghman-e­Hakim" hospital during a 493 days period (October 1994-March 1995): The fracture types were linear in 85% Depressed in 7%, Basilar in 8% of cases. 71.2% of all cases were male and 28.8% were femal. 72.6% of fracture occured in pediatric age group "Less than 15 years old" and 27.4% in adult group. The ...

BACKGROUND Approximately one-third of pediatric fractures occur during sport or recreational activity. In this paper, we investigate the incidence and causes of pediatric fractures in our region and quantify the fracture rate per exposure time for the most common sport and recreational activities. METHODS We prospectively evaluated all children younger than sixteen years who presented to our ...

conclusions although external fixation in open pediatric fractures and severe injuries is recommended, intramedullary nailing is also an effective method with low complications. combining pins and flexible intramedullary nails is effective in developing more stability and is not associated with more complications. background tibial fractures are the third most common pediatric long-bone fractur...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the factors affecting recovery of diplopia and limited ocular motility in pediatric patients who underwent surgery for orbital wall fracture. DESIGN Retrospective observational case series. METHODS In this retrospective observational case series, 150 pediatric patients (1-18 years old) who were diagnosed with orbital medial wall or floor fracture and underwent corr...
