Width of Clavicular Cortex in Osteoporosis

evaluation of correlation between width and morphology of mandibular inferior cortex in digital panoramic radiography and postmenopausal osteoporosis

Mandibular inferior cortex width may serve as a prognostic osteoporosis index in Polish patients.

BACKGROUND Panoramic radiographs are increasingly considered as a screening tool in the search for osteopaenia and osteoporosis. No information on normal ranges of radiographic parameters of the inferior cortex (IC) in Polish population has been found in literature; therefore, the objective of the study was to determine normal ranges of mandibular inferior cortex width on panoramic radiographs ...

Evaluation of Correlation between Width and Morphology of Mandibular Inferior Cortex in Digital Panoramic Radiography and Postmenopausal Osteoporosis

BACKGROUND In osteoporotic patients, inferior mandibular cortex undergoes resorption which its manifestations can be detected on dental panoramic radiographs as a simple and available method. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation between width and morphology of mandibular inferior cortex in digital panoramic radiography and postmenopausal osteoporosis. METHODS Bone mineral den...

Effectiveness of low profile pre contoured clavicular plate in mid shaft clavicular fractures in young patients

Introduction: Risk of Nonunion, residual shoulder disability and symptomatic malunion are higher in conservative treatment of displaced midshaft clavicle fractures which are reportedly decreased by operative method but plating these fractu profile anatomically precontoured plates may reduce the rates of plate prominence and hardware removal. Objective: To assess the rate of plate prominence, ra...
