simultaneous fractures of the femoral neck and shaft are not common injuries, though they cannot be considered rare. herein, we report our experience with a patient with bilateral occurance of this injury. up to the best of our knowkedge this is the first case reported in literature in which correct diagnosis was made initially. both femurs were fixed using broad 4.5 mm dynamic compression plat...

BACKGROUND Complex intra-articular distal humerus fractures are relatively uncommon injuries but are fraught with poor outcomes such as malunion, elbow stiffness and deformity. Various types of internal fixation screw-plate constructs have been developed to improve fixation. Specifically, a 90 degrees offset periarticular system lowers the profile on the lateral epicondyle, yet it is unclear ho...

This paper presents an interdisciplinary study of the Northern Chile Double Seismic Zone. First, a high resolution velocity structure of the subducting Nazca Plate has been obtained by a new double­difference tomography method. The double seismic zone (DSZ) is observed between 80 and 140 km depth and the two seismic planes are 20 km apart. Then, the chemical and petrologic characteristics of t...

Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than...

conclusions the odscp has many advantages over the other type of plates. it can help the surgeon to operate with a relaxed mind and it is advisable for high tibial medial open wedge osteotomies. results the mean follow-up time was 9.33 ± 1.87 month. the average age was 45.13 ± 7.25 years. three patients were male and 13 patients were female. the lysholm score showed a significant difference bef...

It has been traditionally treated nonoperatively. Objectives: The present study was undert...

OBJECTIVES Current literature describes improved clinical outcomes and a minor rate of pseudoarthrosis following operatively treated clavicular fractures. We investigated the feasibility of using a standard 3.5 mm AO locking compression plate (LCP) of adequate length for the stabilisation of mid-shaft fractures of the clavicle. METHODS The length and acromial and diaphyseal curvature depths w...
