Nine children sustained a second fracture of the distal humerus after union of an ipsilateral supracondylar fracture which had healed with cubitus varus. There were eight boys and one girl with a mean age of five years (1 to 8) at the time of the second fracture which occurred at a mean of 1.5 years after the first. In all patients, the second fracture was an epiphyseal injury of the distal hum...

UNLABELLED To assess the importance of using conventional magnetic resonance imaging and T2 mapping to determine the pre-slip stage of the contralateral epiphysis in patients with a clinical and radiographic diagnosis of unilateral proximal femoral epiphysiolysis who were initially treated with in-situ fixation. METHODS This prospective clinical study on 11 patients with unilateral epiphysiol...

The weakest part ofthe epiphysial plate is the layer ofcartilage cells nearest the metaphysis. If the overlying periosteum is incised, a separation through this layer is easily produced (Haas 1917). Even if it is conceded, as shown experimentally by Harris (1950), that, in rats treated by growth hormone, broadening of this layer can diminish the cohesion of epiphysis and metaphysis, the resista...

The article is based on the importance of applying means and methods specific to physical therapy in improvement Perthes disease. condition known as Perthes, Legg-Perthes, or Legg-Calve-Perthes disease an avascular osteonecrosis epiphysis femoral head. It assumed that through a kinetotherapeutic program appropriate patient's particularities, mobility coxofemoral joint will remain within normal ...

In the previous paper(Ito et al., 1965), it was described that the oral administration of saliva-parotin-A(abbr. as SPA) caused various biological responses such as the hypocalcemia in rabbits, the promotion of calcification in rabbit incisor dentine and the excretion of potent uro-parotin in sialoadenectomized rabbits. Those responses are recognized as the biological properties of parotin and ...

Fractures of the proximal tibial epiphysis are rare, representing less than 3% of all epiphyseal and 1% of all physeal injuries in adolescents. Bilateral injuries are extremely rare. The specific anatomical and histological features of the proximal tibial epiphysis make it vulnerable to a specific fracture pattern that occurs when the tensile force of the quadriceps is greater than the fibrocar...
