PURPOSE To compare outcomes of 3 fixation techniques for intra-articular distal femoral fractures. METHODS Records of 59 men and 49 women aged 16 to 80 (mean, 47) years who underwent internal fixation for 116 type-C (complete intra-articular) distal femoral fractures were retrospectively reviewed. According to the AO classification, 25 fractures were type C1 (23 closed and 2 open), 71 type C2...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate outcomes in patients who had condylar neck fractures treated with 3 different plating techniques. PATIENTS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 37 patients with 40 fractures of the condylar neck that were reduced and stabilized using an approach involving exposure of the facial nerve. Stabilization was achieved with a single minipla...

To identify genetic expression of mandibular condylar cartilage during natural growth and under mechanical strain as a result of mandibular advancement. One hundred and forty four 35 days old female Sprague-Dawley rats were sacrificed on 8 different experimental days. Total RNA was extracted for oligonucleotide microarray gene chips containing 15,923 transcripts. Sixteen genes representing the ...

Background: Distal Femur fractures are one of the common fractures occurring in road traffic accidents. Various modalities are used for fracture of distal femur, one of them is condylar buttress plate. Various studies have claimed better results in surgical management of distal femur fracture. This study was planned to compare two treatment modalities for supracondylar and intercondylar fractur...

background: intra-articular t- type or y- type fractures of the distal end of the humerus are relatively rare, and consequently few surgeons will be able to attain extensive experience with the surgical treatment of these injuries. the current emphasis is on operative intervention with rigid internal fixation and early mobilization. methods: in this prospective and retrospective study, we revie...

Abstract Background the position and angulation of mandibular third molars have both been found to influence angle condylar fractures. Objective: To identify whether there is an association between depth molar impaction relative risk fracture condyle. Method Four-hundred eighty-two panoramic dental radiographs were assessed for period from January 2012 June 2020. The study variables included pr...

OBJECTIVE To compare condylar position and morphology among different vertical skeletal patterns. METHODS Diagnostic cone-beam computed tomography images of 60 adult patients (120 temporomandibular joints) who visited the orthodontic clinic of Hallym University Sacred Heart Hospital were reviewed. The subjects were divided into three equal groups according to the mandibular plane angle: hypod...

OBJECTIVES/HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that children with isolated nonsyndromic unilateral congenital aural atresia have subclinical mandibular condylar hypoplasia ipsilateral to the atretic ear, and that the Jahrsdoerfer score is associated with the degree of condylar hypoplasia. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective self-controlled case series. METHODS We reviewed high-resolution computed tomography ...

OBJECTIVE Oestrogen expression may indicate a difference in resistance potential to mechanical strain. The purpose of this study was to investigate the expression of oestrogen and oestrogen receptors in mandibular condylar cartilages in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats at different ages. MATERIALS AND METHODS One-hundred SD rats at the age of 2, 4, 8 weeks and 4, 12 months in both sexes, 1...

statement of the problem this study was designed to investigate the complications after surgical removal of mandibular third molars. patients and methods six hundreds and ninety eight lower third molars among 450 patients surgically extracted by general dentists from april 2005 to april 2006 were selected for this study. data were recorded by completing questionnaires regarding post surgical co...
