AIM To investigate non-ossifying fibromas (NOFs) common fibrous bone lesions in children that occur in bones of the lower extremities. METHODS We analyzed 44 cases of NOF including 47 lesions, which were referred with a working diagnosis of neoplastic lesions. Lesions were located in the upper extremities (1 proximal humerus, 1 distal radius) and the lower extremities (25 distal femurs, 12 pr...

Epithelioid hemangioma is a rare tumor that can have bone involvement. Its clinically and radiographically aggressive appearance mimics a malignant neoplasm. Although epitheliod hemangioma has been described as having an aggressive appearance on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and plain radiographs, this is the first reported case of pathologic fracture associated with this lesion to our knowl...

Background The incidence rate of olecranon fractures is highest in the elderly population. aim this study was to determine whether patients with have similar demographic and risk characteristics compared osteoporotic upper extremity fractures. Methods A retrospective data analysis performed diagnoses for fracture, distal radius fracture proximal humerus between 2014 2016. Results total 157 olec...

proximal humerus fractures are common, but associated injury of the axillary artery is uncommon. the majority of published blunt traumatic axillary artery injuries are associated with anterior glenohumeral dislocation; a few are associated with isolated proximal humerus fractures or fracture-dislocation. experience within our institution demonstrates that axillary artery injury is often unrecog...

RATIONALE Distal humeral diaphyseal fractures are much less common than supracondylar humeral fractures. The triangular shape and thinner periosteum in the diaphyseal region than in the supracondylar region of the distal diaphysis makes the treatment of diaphyseal fractures difficult. Nonoperative treatment for this fracture is challenging and troublesome; thus, open reduction and internal fixa...

INTRODUCTION Comminuted distal humerus fractures often require large access to the distal humerus for anatomic reconstruction of the joint surface. In these cases an olecranon osteotomy is usually performed, allowing the triceps muscle to be moved out of the way with clear access to the distal humerus. After fixing the distal humerus, the olecranon is often fixed with two k-wires inserted longi...

A radial nerve injury associated with a humeral shaft fracture is an important injury pattern among trauma patients.This study is to find out the incidence of radial nerve palsy and to analyze results of treatment of fracture shaft of Humerus associated with radial nerve injury to improve outcome and avoid long-term morbidity.A total of eighty patients of fractures were analyzed with twenty imm...

conclusions closed reduction and hybrid external fixation can be used as a definitive treatment for severe comminuted fractures of the distal femur and proximal tibia, when the concomitant contusion of the skin and soft tissue damage prohibits safe open reduction and internal fixation. patients and methods in a prospective study, 44 patients with comminuted fractures of the distal femur or prox...

It is well known that proximal humerus fractures are among the three most frequent fracture types. Epidemiological invetsigations show that in people elder than 60 years the fracture of the proximal humerus is more frequent than fractures of the hip region (17). Over the last decades several techniques have been applied for treatment of proximal humerus fractures. Widely accepted is the initiat...
