Fractures of the Carpal Bones Excluding
Carpal fractures excluding the scaphoid can cause morbidity that is disproportionate to their incidence because they are easily overlooked and are often harbingers of a wider wrist injury. Failure to recognize a more global injury pattern can result in undertreatment and permanent wrist dysfunction. Diagnosis requires a high index of suspicion, familiarity with carpal topography to guide the ph...
متن کاملCorrelation of wrist ligamentotaxis with carpal distraction: implications for external fixation.
Cadaver forearms were tested to measure carpal bone separation and wrist ligament tension in response to MTS-based incremental wrist distraction. Distraction of 2 mm separated the proximal carpal row from the radius and transmitted an average tension of 8 N. The mid-carpal joint also began to widen at this level of distraction. Distraction of 4 mm resulted in an average tension of 20 N. At this...
متن کاملAdeshina Et Al.: Carpal Bones for Skeletal Maturity of Infants
We compare the utility of models of the structure of carpal bones in the hand for predicting skeletal maturity in infants (0 -7 yrs). Skeletal maturity assessment is important for diagnosing and monitoring growth disorders. Statistical models of bone shape and appearance have been shown to be useful for estimating skeletal maturity. In this work we investigate the effect of the choice of models...
متن کاملCoordinate systems for the carpal bones of the wrist.
The eight small and complexly shaped carpal bones of the wrist articulate in six degrees of freedom with each other and to some extent with the radius and the metacarpals. With the increasing number and sophistication of studies of the carpus, a standardized definition for a coordinate system for each the carpal bones would aid in the reporting and comparison of findings. This paper presents a ...
متن کاملExternal fixation of “intertrochanteric” fractures
In developing countries, due to limited availability of modern anesthesia and overcrowding of the hospitals with patients who need surgery, high-risk patients with "intertrochanteric" fractures remain unsuita ble for open reduction and internal fixation.The aim of this study was to analyze the results of external fixation of "intertrochanteric" fractures in high-risk geriatric patients in a dev...
