Osteogenesis imperfecta is a genetic disorder characterised by fragility and multiple fractures of bones. Clinical signs and symptoms vary depending on the type of disease. Fractures of facial bones are rare compared with load-bearing long bones. We report a case of fracture of the mandible during yawning which was managed by open reduction and internal fixation.

In this article along with the brief review of the Radiologic signs of tuberculosis of the bones and joints there is emphasis on the out­standing sign's of the patients which we have seen in Iran. Tuberculosis of the vertebral column and specially paravertebral abscess is discussed. The prevalent signs of the disea·se in other bones and -joints are mentioned and different manifestations of tube...

There is rare studies with regard to sesamoid bone variations of the hand in addition to its prevalence and distribution. This study aims to assess both the prevalence and variation of sesamoid bones of the hand. A retrospective review of posteroanterior (PA) and oblique radiographs of 436 left and 414 right hands of 850 adult patients obtained from four hospitals was performed. All X-ray films...

SummaryThree cases of retained fetal bones, the first two after mid-trimester termination of pregnancy and the third after dilatation and evacuation (D&E) of the uterus for a missed abortion, are presented. All the cases were complicated by secondary infertility. In all the cases the diagnosis was confirmed by a high resolution pelvic ultrasound scan. The pieces of bones were removed at dilatat...

AIM The accuracy of bone scintigraphy in diagnosing symptomatic accessory navicular bones has not been well studied. We conducted a retrospective study to explore the results and use of scintigraphy in symptomatic and asymptomatic accessory navicular bones. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirteen patients with a total of 13 symptomatic and 10 asymptomatic accessory navicular bones were included in the...

Mobile:07415176681,E-Mail: [email protected] Introduction: The Wormian bones are irregular isolated bones, are not normally present within the cranial sutures. They may or may not be associated with clinical abnormalities. They appear in addition to the usua...

Computational Methods of Ultrasound Wave Propagation in Healing Long Bones D. I. Fotiadis1 Summary Quantitative ultrasound has attracted significant interest in the evaluation of bone fracture healing. Animal and clinical studies have demonstrated that the propagation velocity across fractured bones can be used as an indicator of healing. Researchers have recently employed computational methods...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the length and shape of the nasal bones in fetuses with trisomy 21 at 16-24 weeks' gestation. METHOD We acquired three-dimensional volumes of the fetal profile from 41 fetuses with trisomy 21. The multiplanar mode was used to measure nasal bone length in the exact midsagittal plane and in parasagittal and oblique views of the fetal face and to examine ...

The mechanism of growth retardation in Turner's syndrome has not been resolved. It is often referred to as a bone dysplasia, although endocrine derangement has not been ruled out. The present study was undertaken to evaluate the maturation of individual bones of the hand and wrist in girls with Turner's syndrome and thereby obtain information which may aid in elaborating the possible mechanism ...

Although recent studies have reported that the forefoot bones are longer in sprinters than in non-sprinters, these reports included a relatively small number of subjects. Moreover, while computer simulation suggested that longer forefoot bones may contribute to higher sprint performance by enhancing plantar flexor moment during sprinting, the correlation between forefoot bone length and sprint ...
