This study compares the functional capabilities of different metacarpal fixation constructs under physiological loadings in an attempt to identify the optimal construct rather than the strongest one. One hundred and twenty-six preserved human metacarpals were mechanically tested after oblique osteotomies and internal fixation. Maximum load to failure, average structural rigidity, and energ...

introduction fracture - dislocations of the talus are typically due to high energy injuries. displaced fracture - dislocations of the talus have poor outcomes in general and complications are common. although talar fracture is common and comprises the second most common tarsal fracture, bilateral fracture - dislocations of the talus are rare. not many reports regarding the subject can be found ...

objective: the aim of this study was to assess skeletal relapse in patients who underwent mandibular setback by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (bssro) and osteosynthesis wiring techniques. materials and methods: in this semi-experimental study, 10 patients (8 women, 2 men) with 3-8 millimeters overjet underwent mandibular setback with bssro, osteosynthesis wiring and inter maxillary f...

background distal radius fracture is common in all ages. mobility and wrist function is important. the choice of treatment should aim for optimal function with minimal complications. objectives in this study we compared two surgical approaches, open reduction and internal fixation (orif) and closed reduction with external fixation (cr + ef), for treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractu...

Traits related to nitrogen fixation may be used as indirect selection criteria foraflatoxin resistance in peanut. The aim of this study was to investigate therelationship between N2 fixation traits and aflatoxin contamination in peanut underdifferent drought conditions. Eleven peanut genotypes were evaluated under threewater regimes for two seasons in the field. Data were observed on kernel inf...

mumps is an acute contagious viral disease that usually manifests as inflam¬mation of the parotid glands. the disease may be associated with symptoms such as parotitis, orchitis and meningoencephalitis. 85% of cases occur in children under 15 years of age. the disease is rare below two years but increases with age, reaching a maximum at 5 to 9 years. some studies in iran showed that the highest...
