Ingrown nails are defined as inflammation of the lateral nail fold that is caused by penetration by the nail plate and associates with pain and/or infection. The pain associated with ingrown nail hampers walking, raises the risk of falls, and decreases the quality of life. The Sogawa method is a novel conservative medical treatment for ingrown nails that is based on stainless steel wire. It was...

Rotational deformity following intramedullary nailing may cause symptoms and require surgical correction by osteotomy. Reamed, locked intramedullary nailing may be performed, but concern about cortical blood supply and potential pulmonary dysfunction from reaming have led many surgeons to limit this and use smaller diameter nails. Slotted nails are commonly used but are less stiff in torsion th...

INTRODUCTION Injuries to the medial clavicle in pediatric patients typically involve the physis and/or sternoclavicular joint. Clavicle fractures are one of the most common injuries in children, but ones at its medial end are rare. Most medial clavicle fractures are treated nonoperatively, but surgery is indicated in some cases. This original case report is unique in describing the use of an el...

Terry's nails are a type of apparent leukonychia, characterized by ground glass opacification of nearly the entire nail, obliteration of the lunula, and a narrow band of normal, pink nail bed at the distal border. The aim of this study is to guide clinical practice by reviewing all of the data concerning Terry's nail that have become available since the original description by Terry in 1954, wi...

The inspection of titanium billets and forged parts with conventional immersion and laser-ultrasonic techniques was performed to localize macro-zones with strong texture. The microtextured regions in these dual phase titanium parts were detected by using backscattered noise measurements. A numerical focusing technique was developed for imaging the backscattered noise in parts with curved surfac...

Introduction: Out of all fractures in adult, clavicle accounts 3-5%. These are usually managed conservatively but with changing trends the surgical management (plating) has been put into practice widely. TENS a recent alternative new technique fixation. The aim this study was to investigate effectiveness minimally invasive method- for displaced midshaft non comminuted fractures. Materials and M...
