Melorheostosis in proximal phalanx and metacarpal bone: a short-mid-term follow up
Authors
Abstract:
Melorheostosis is a rare sclerosing hyperostosis that affects the appendicular skeleton more than the axial skeleton. This disorder also affects the cutaneous and soft tissues and leads to the formation of fibrosis and contracture. Due to the unique features of melorheostosis (dripping candle wax appearance), plain radiographs are often sufficient for diagnosis. Herein we report a case of melorheostosis in proximal phalanx and metacarpal bone. The case is a 21-year-old girl with intense pain in her left hand. She underwent conservative treatment and followed for five years. Outcome measures indicate pain reduction despite no significant changes in radiographs.

short-term outcomes and mid-term follow-up after coronary angioplasty in patients younger than 40 years of age
background: stenting is currently the standard of care in percutaneous coronary intervention (pci). whether young patients remain at increased risk after pci in the present stent era has not been investigated widely. we evaluated angiographic characteristics and short- and mid-term outcomes in patients younger than 40 years of age who underwent pci. methods: from april 2003 to march 2005, prosp...

Background Aortic Coarcatation (CoA) is one of the congenital heart diseases with the rate of 5-8% of Coronary heart diseases(CHDs). Balloon angioplasty is now one of the effective way of treatment for CoA, native or Re-coarctation (Re-CoA). We aimed to assess the immediate, and short term response to angioplasty and stenting, and also complications. Materials and Methods Balloon angioplasty wi...
full textLong-term follow-up of unoperated, nonscissoring spiral metacarpal fractures.
BACKGROUND Spiral metacarpal fractures can result in shortening of the metacarpal shaft, which may lead to extension lag at the metacarpophalangeal joint and reduced grip strength. These fractures have been surgically treated to restore metacarpal length; however, there are complications associated with surgery, postoperative management and wound healing, which further threaten power recovery i...

In recent years, wind energy has a remarkable growth in the world, but one of the important problems of power generated from wind is its uncertainty and corresponding power. For solving this problem, some approaches have been presented. Recently, the Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) as a heuristic method has more applications for this propose. In this paper, short-term (1 hour) and mid-term (24...

The incidence of nonunion in phalangeal fractures is less than 1% [1-4]. Management of unstable digital fractures of hand is difficult and results are not always satisfactory [5]. We present two cases of neglected fractures in proximal phalanx of thumb that presented with nonunion. Only two previous articles talked about nonunion in proximal phalanx of thumb [6,7]. Our aim was to achieve a join...
