conclusions although external fixation in open pediatric fractures and severe injuries is recommended, intramedullary nailing is also an effective method with low complications. combining pins and flexible intramedullary nails is effective in developing more stability and is not associated with more complications. background tibial fractures are the third most common pediatric long-bone fractur...

Although the use of calcium sulfate has been used as a bone graft substitute in the treatment of fractures for more than a century, few studies investigate the use of recently developed injectable calcium sulfate-based bone graft substitute with high compressive strength after curing in situ. In this study, we evaluated preliminary results of a high compressive strength calcium sulfate-based bo...

Precipitation variation on the Loess Plateau (LP) of China is not only important for rain-fed agriculture in this environmentally sensitive region, but also critical for the water and life securities over the whole Yellow River basin. Here we reconstruct high resolution precipitation variation on the western LP during the past 370 years by using two replicated, annually-laminated stalagmites. S...

A 44-year-old female with diabetes and end-stage renal disease suffered a nondisplaced medial tibial plateau fracture after a ground-level fall. After open reduction and internal fixation, her popliteal artery and vein occluded at the level of the fracture. Review of the noncontrast computed tomography scan completed on initial arrival to the emergency department revealed a fracture in the calc...

Fractures of the tibial plateau are in constant progression. They affect an elderly population suffering from a number of comorbidities, but also a young population increasingly practicing high-risk sports and using two-wheeled vehicles. The objective of this study was therefore to propose a new technique for the treatment of this type of fracture. There are a variety of classical pitfalls of c...

Aim: To study the functional outcomes of internal fixation in complex tibial plateau fractures. Materials and Methods: 51 patients presenting with complex tibial plateau fractures were treated between January,2013 to January,2016 with various modes of internal fixation depending on the fracture type. Subsequently the patients were followed up at 2,6,12,18 and 24 weeks and then at intervals of t...

Yak domestication represents an important episode in the early human occupation of the high-altitude Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (QTP). The precise timing of domestication is debated and little is known about the underlying genetic changes that occurred during the process. Here we investigate genome variation of wild and domestic yaks. We detect signals of selection in 209 genes of domestic yaks, sev...

BACKGROUND Long-stem tibial components are available for complex primary and revision total knee arthroplasties. Most of the stems' designs are based on anatomic data from Western populations. We conducted a morphologic study to determine the relationship of the tibial shaft to the tibial plateau in Chinese people. METHODS We included knees from fifty Chinese individuals (twenty-five females ...

Tibial plateau fractures tend to occur in patients with polytrauma and elderly history of significant fall. This study was undertaken evaluate explore new generation implant fixation tibial which is expected provide a stable minimum exposure, early mobilization, less complications better quality life. About 43 cases who had sustained (Schatzker type I-VI) operated anatomical contoured locking c...

Isolated posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries are rarely seen with tibial plateau fractures and can be missed during the initial assessment. The objective of this paper is to present a case of a Schatzker type 2 tibial plateau fracture with associated isolated PLC injury and give a discussion on physical exam, diagnostic studies, and treatment options. A twenty-five-year-old female sustained a ...
