The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of medial and lateral plating of a medially comminuted supracondylar femoral fracture. A supracondylar femoral fracture model comparing two fixation methods was tested cyclically in axial loading. One-centimetre supracondylar gap osteotomies were created in six synthetic femurs approximately 6 cm proximal to the knee joint. There...

Proximal humerus fractures are common injuries, especially among older osteoporotic women. Restoration of function requires a thorough understanding of the neurovascular, musculotendinous, and bony anatomy. This paper addresses the relevant anatomy and highlights various management options, including indication for arthroplasty. In the vast majority of cases, proximal humerus fractures may be t...

The treatment of comminuted fractures of the mandible is challenging due both to the severity of the injuries generally associated with this type of fracture, and the lack of consensus as to the most appropriate treatment method.There are two distinct approaches for treating comminuted fractures of the mandible: closed reduction with maxillomandibular fixation (MMF) - the oldest and classical t...

1. Most of Schatzker Type II and Type III tibial plateau fractures are seen in osteoporotic bones in older age and are comminuted most of the times which have been excluded from your study. 2. The diameter of the solid inner piston is 10 mm may not be sufficient to elevate comminuted fragments. 3. Why not use bone graft to support elevated bone fragments because we are not sure if the screw can...

This study was designed to compare the rigidity of the more commonly used techniques of internal fIxation of fractures of the olecranon. Cadaveric elbow joints were mounted in a jig and confrolled osteotomies performed to simulate transverse, oblique or comminuted fractures. Five techniques of internal fixation were tested by measuring movement at the fracture site after applying a bending mome...

This retrospective study aimed to identify and classify fractures in the appendicular axial skeletons of birds from Cariamidae Falconidae families presented a referral centre. Twelve thirteen adult red-legged seriemas (Cariama cristata) had skeleton one an fracture. All occurred pelvic limbs, but bird also thoracic limb Among long-bone fractures, ten were tibiotarsus. these six comminuted, two ...

Background:Clavicle fracture is one of the most common injury.Despite high incidence, choice proper treatment still controversial. This prospective study was done to evaluate functional outcome displaced clavicle treated by intramedullary nailing. Material and methods:The conducted on 30 patients(25 males 5 females) with displaced/comminuted either elastic nails or endcap.Followupexamination fo...

Histochemical methods based on either well-established Toluidine Blue staining or contemporary immunohistochemical labeling based on myosin and laminin antibodies were applied on comminuted chicken meat to evaluate the potential of different histological methods to objectively detect muscle tissue and muscle tissue degradation. Also, Haematoxylin-Eosin staining was studied for the same purposes...

Surgery is usually recommended for displaced glenoid fractures, with open reduction and internal fixation as the standard operative treatment. Three approaches have been recommended in the reduction of glenoid fractures: Anterior, posterior and combined; however, a traditional approach may be difficult due to a high position or a comminuted Ideberg type III fracture. The combined approach resul...
