Background: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common fractures of skeletal system and because of the aging of population, its incidence is rising. The aim of the present research was to evaluate the close reduction and percutaneous pin fixation as a treatment option. Material and methods: 44 patients who were type 2 according to universal classification or type 2 or 3 according to Ol...

conclusions in treatment of intra-articular distal radius fractures in middle-aged patients internal fixation with locking plates may be prefered to pin and plaster as the treatment of choice. results sf-36 test demonstrated a better general health (p < 0.001), mental health (p = 0.006), physical functioning (p < 0.001), social functioning (p < 0.001) and energy/fatigue (p < 0.001) in lcp group...

The central component in the RADIUS modelsupported image exploitation paradigm, is the creation of a 3-dimensional model that captures the basic geometry of the site under examination. While many fully automated methods for site model construction show promising results, none are robust or general enough to replace interactive and semiautomatic techniques. In this paper, we outline the suite of...
