Background: The incidence of edge dissections after the coronary implantation of bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) has not been investigated. BRS have thicker struts and require more aggressive pre-dilation for implantation. The incidence of edge dissections after BRS implantation, their morphological aspects and healing process were evaluated using serial optical coherence tomography (OCT) images....

let $g$ be a simple connected graph. the edge-wiener index $w_e(g)$ is the sum of all distances between edges in $g$, whereas the hyper edge-wiener index $ww_e(g)$ is defined as {footnotesize $w{w_e}(g) = {frac{1}{2}}{w_e}(g) + {frac{1}{2}} {w_e^{2}}(g)$}, where {footnotesize $ {w_e^{2}}(g)=sumlimits_{left{ {f,g} right}subseteq e(g)} {d_e^2(f,g)}$}. in this paper, we present explicit formula fo...

conclusions this study did not show that distal radius anatomical indices including the radial height, radial inclination, ulnar variance and volar tilt influence perilunate fracture dislocation as risk factors. background distal radius radiographic indices may play a role as risk factors in pathogenesis of kienbock’s disease, scaphoid fracture and non:union:. perilunate fracture dislocations a...

background:   to compare the results of two different ways of distal femoral osteotomy stabilization in patients suffering from genuvalgum: internal fixation with plate, and casting. methods:   in a non-randomized prospective study, after distal femoral osteotomy with the zigzag method, patients were divided into two groups: long leg casting, and internal fixation with blade plate. for all pati...

abstract   background: the tibial diaphyseal fractures are the most common type of long bone fractures encountered by most orthopedic surgeons. in accordance with descriptive indices of tibia fractures on the basis of their location in the bone, distal tibia fractures have the second incidence of all tibia fractures after the middle tibia fractures. the purpose of the study was to assess the co...

abstract  background: resection of the distal end of the radius is indicated in the treatment  of locally aggressive primary benign and malignant bone tumors. the aim of this study  was to evaluate the technique of osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of the distal radius after wide excision of a giant-cell tumor.  methods: we analyzed 15 patients retrospectively who had reconstruction of th...

abstract background: with increasing knowledge concerning fractures of the distal radius, different classifications have been proposed. reliability of most of these classifications has been assessed. the fernandez classification has never been assessed for intraobserver and interobserver reliability, although this classification is commonly used. methods: five observers including one attending ...
