The aim of this paper is to introduce and study a new concept ofstrong double $(A)_ {Delta}$-convergent sequence offuzzy numbers with respect to an Orlicz function and also someproperties of the resulting sequence spaces of fuzzy   numbers areexamined. In addition, we define the double$(A,Delta)$-statistical convergence of fuzzy  numbers andestablish some connections between the spaces of stron...

Apert syndrome - acrocephalosyndactyly - is a rare autosomal dominant disorder representing 1:65 000 cases of living newborns. Characteristic malformations of the Apert syndrome are early craniostenosis, microviscerocranium and II-V finger syndactyly of hand and toes with proximal phalanx of the bilateral thumb "in delta". It is difficult to determine prenatal diagnosis in the second quarter, w...

BACKGROUND Sports-related open lateral collateral ligament injury of the interphalangeal joint of the great toe has not been previously described in the English literature. HYPOTHESIS This injury can occur in adolescents while performing barefooted high-kicking or fast-running exercises involving rapid, 180 degrees turns on a dry, rough, wooden floor in a Taekwondo gymnasium. Injury occurs wh...

Of eithty-six patients with collateral ligament instability of the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb, sixty-six (77 per cent) had ulnar and twenty (23 per cent) had radial instability, while in addition twenty-four had fractures and twenty-nine had volar subluxation of the proximal phalanx. Of the sixty-nine patients operated on, sixty-five had an abnormality of the ulnar or radial collate...

INTRODUCTION A literature review did not reveal any study investigating the results of surgical management of fractures of the proximal phalanx in elderly osteoporotic women. We present a case series of five patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS Five consecutive cases with seven fractures of the shaft/base of the proximal phalanx were retrospectively reviewed. The mean age of the study group was 72....

We randomized patients with open finger injury and central slip insertion defects into a proximal turn-down group (final n = 28) and a palmaris longus tendon graft group (final n = 20). In the proximal turn-down group, the dorsal central slip of the extensor tendon in the proximal phalanx was split, leaving it attached distally. We turned the strip from proximal to distal and fixed it using the...

Juxta-epiphyseal/Salter-Harris fractures are the most common hand fractures in children and the proximal phalanx is involved in most cases. In the absence of soft-tissue interposition, these growth plate injuries are simple to reduce and are stable. However, in some cases, flexor tendon entrapment could be present. We report on an 11-year-old girl who sustained a fall onto her outstretched hand...

Reports that describe abnormalities of the muscles and tendons of the leg and foot are important with regard to understanding the function of the lower limb and correlating these abnormalities with the clinical aspects. Variations in the insertion of the extensor hallucis longus muscle were studied in 60 adult human cadavers. Three different patterns of insertion were noticed. Pattern I (65%): ...

UNLABELLED The goal of our study was to report the clinical presentation, treatment, and complications of enchondroma in the distal phalanx of the finger. This was a retrospective study of 34 patients (19 women and 15 men) who underwent surgery between May 2004 and September 2012 for enchondroma in the distal phalanx of the finger. The average age of the patients was 39.38 ± 10.97 years old (ra...
