Complete dislocation of the talus not accompanied by a fracture is a very rare injury. The injury is encountered as a closed one even more rarely. Reviewing the literature we found that proposed treatments for total talus dislocation varied from primary talectomy or arthodesis (to avoid complications) to closed reduction and an under knee cast. Most importantly, there was no agreement among aut...

An Extremely rare case of periscaphoid and perilunate dislocation of the wrist is reported. The reported case is a young man with trauma following a motor cycle falling down. At first referral closed reduction and six weeks of long arm cast had been performed. The patient reffered to our hospital because of painful and limited range of motion. He underwent open reduction and internal fixatio...

acrylamide was grafted in low density polyethylene during melt processing in the presence of a free radical initiator using a torque rheometer in a closed system. effects of processing time, acrylamide and benzoyl peroxide concentrations were studied. ftir studies revealed that the degree of grafting increased by an increase in acrylamide concentration. maximum grafting was obtained at 7 minute...

BACKGROUND The aim of this paper is to evaluate the results maintaining after closed reduction of distal radius fracture and to assess difficulties in restoration of the articular surface continuity with reference to the type of fracture according to the AO classification. MATERIAL AND METHODS 65 patients were included in the study (40 female, 25 male), mean age of 59 years (19-84), diagnosed...

INTRODUCTION Closed reduction and percutaneous pinning are the most widely used treatment options for displaced supracondylar humerus fractures in children, but there is still no consensus concerning the most preferred technique in injuries of the extension type. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to compare three common orthopaedic procedures in the treatment of displaced extension type sup...

Traumatic sternoclavicular (SC) joint injuries are rare. The goal of this literature review was to evaluate the available literature on the treatment of traumatic anterior and posterior SC (fracture-) dislocations in adults and children. In adults, anterior dislocations are most commonly treated by nonoperative means. Closed reduction can be attempted but is associated with a high recurrence ra...

OBJECTIVES: To characterize the oral motor system of adults with facial injuries and to compare the oral motor performance/function between two different groups. METHODS: An observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study was conducted in 38 patients presenting with facial trauma who were assigned to the Division of Orofacial Myology of a Brazilian School Hospital. Patients were divided int...

Background: Supracondylar fractures are one of the most frequent pediatric bone fractures. There well-known treatments for this fracture. The commonly used procedure is closed percutaneous reduction pinning, and open internal fixation irreducible This study aims to evaluate review those two procedures in treating a supracondylar humeral fracture children by evaluating clinical functional outcom...
