BACKGROUND A meta-analysis was performed to assess the association between healing rate, avascular necrosis (AVN) of femoral head and two reductions-open reduction internal fixation (ORIF) and closed reduction internal fixation (CRIF) for femoral neck fracture. METHODS A literature-based search was conducted to identify all relevant studies published before September 10, 2013. The odd ratio (...

INTRODUCTION Incarceration of the medial epicondyle is a well-recognised sequelae following closed reduction of the elbow. Manipulation for extraction is not usually successful and hence an incarcerated medial epicondyle is usually an indication for open reduction and fixation. CASE PRESENTATION We describe a simple technique of closed reduction using a conventional nerve stimulator to extrac...

In the treatment of mandibular condyle fracture, conservative treatment using closed reduction or surgical treatment using open reduction can be used. Management of mandibular condylar fractures remains a source of ongoing controversy in oral and maxillofacial trauma. For each type of condylar fracture,the treatment method must be chosen taking into consideration the presence of teeth, fracture...

Injury cause, treatment, and long-term results [American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) Midfoot Score, Hannover Scoring System, Hannover Outcome Questionnaire] of patients with Chopart joint dislocations or fracture-dislocations were evaluated. Between 1972 and 1997, 100 patients with 110 Chopart joint dislocations were treated in the authors' institution. Pure Chopart joint disloca...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In unstable distal radial fractures that are impossible to reduce or to maintain in reduced position, the treatment of choice is operation. The type of operation and the choice of implant, however, is a matter of discussion. Our aim was to investigate whether open reduction and internal fixation would produce a better result than traditional external fixation. METHODS 5...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Nasal fracture is one of the most common facial fractures and the main goal of this study was evaluation of closed reduction surgery of nasal bone fractures.METHODS: Thirty six patients including 24 male and 12 female patients suffered from nasal bone fractures were treated by closed reduction method. Preoperative and postoperative computed tomographic scans were analyzed by...

the osteology of the suspensorial and opercular series in representatives of 49 genera and 41 families of eurypterygian fishes were studied. the suspensorium consists of the palatine, ectopterygoid, endopterygoid, metapterygoid, quadrate, symplectic, and hyomandibular bones. the hyomandibular foramen is present at the base of the anterior head. the opercular series consists of the preopercle, s...

Isolated scaphoid dislocations are extremely rare injuries and are commonly associated with significant ligamentous disruptions. A dorsiflexion-supination force upon the hand consists the commonest mechanism of injury. Different treatment options have been proposed for the management of this uncommon entity, ranging from conservative treatment with closed reduction and casting to a wide range o...
