Introduction: The human stature forms part of his or her biological profile. It becomes more important during personal identification in case of mass disasters and in search of missing persons. We measured various parameters of the dried tibia, then by applying linear regression we formulated maximum tibia length which can be conveniently used for arriving at human stature. Methods: The obtain...

conclusions with the average 89 months follow-up, no recurrence of the diseases was found in the patients. it seems that using of cement and oral anti-parasitic, after extensive resection of the lesion is a proper treatment of bone hydatid disease. introduction bone is an uncommon site of involvement in hydatid disease; with the prevalence of 0.5-2% among bone lesions. case presentation in this...

BACKGROUND Varus or valgus deviations of the femoral neck in osteogenesis imperfecta have been an ignored chapter because the classic correction procedures were applied in medical practice with unsatisfying results. Until the use of telescopic rods, coronal deviations remained unsolved and the distal configuration of the proximal femoral extremity remained uncorrected or partially corrected, wh...

Hip fractures account for fewer than 1% of all fractures in children, and many can be successfully treated nonoperatively. Transepiphyseal, transcervical, and displaced cervicotrochanteric fractures, however, generally require closed reduction or open reduction and internal fixation to avoid complications of coxa vara deformity and nonunion. Avascular necrosis appears to be related to the sever...

conclusions the results suggest no significant relationship between the severity of injury and risk of rsd occurrence, although the mean injury severity score was higher in patients with rsd than in those without rsd in this study population. the lower score of local circulation in patients with rsd than in those without rsd is a statistically significant finding and can be attributed to change...

introduction: intramedullary nailing (imn) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. however, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated imn fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. the purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...
