The magnification of the radiographic image, though often of little consequence in nailing the fractured femoral neck, may lead to important errors in nailing the hip to promote arthrodesis. The use of a graduated measure that can be calibrated to the correct scale relieves the surgeon of mental arithmetic. Such a device is shown in Figure 1.

The radiographic union scale in tibial (RUST) fractures

OBJECTIVES The radiographic union score for tibial (RUST) fractures was developed by Whelan et al to assess the healing of tibial fractures following intramedullary nailing. In the current study, the repeatability and reliability of the RUST score was evaluated in an independent centre (a) using the original description, (b) after further interpretation of the description of the score, and (c) ...

Graceful labelings of the generalized Petersen graphs

A graceful labeling of a graph $G=(V,E)$ with $m$ edges is aninjection $f: V(G) rightarrow {0,1,ldots,m}$ such that the resulting edge labelsobtained by $|f(u)-f(v)|$ on every edge $uv$ are pairwise distinct. For natural numbers $n$ and $k$, where $n > 2k$, a generalized Petersengraph $P(n, k)$ is the graph whose vertex set is ${u_1, u_2, cdots, u_n} cup {v_1, v_2, cdots, v_n}$ and its edge set...
