Anatomically precontoured locking plates are intended to facilitate the fixation of articular fractures and particularly those associated with osteoporosis. Fractures of the distal humerus are relatively uncommon injuries where operative intervention can be exceptionally challenging. The distal humeral trochlea provides a very narrow anatomical window through which to pass a fixed-angle locking...

  Background: Considering the importance of an early diagnosis and proper decision-making in regards to the treatment of pediatric distal radius and elbow fractures, this study examines emergency medicine specialists’ accuracy in the diagnosis and treatment of these patients. Methods: From 2012 and 2013, children less than 14 years old who were referred to an academic hospital emergency departm...

The aim of this note is to determine whether certain non-o-minimal expansions of o-minimal theories which are known to be NIP, are also distal. We observe that while tame pairs of o-minimal structures and the real field with a discrete multiplicative subgroup have distal theories, dense pairs of o-minimal structures and related examples do not.

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 ...
