T-Condylar fracture of the distal humerus is rare in the skeletally immature children and is very rare in young children, under 9 years of age. This fracture has been classified  as:  type A ( minimally displaced or undisplaced), type B (displaced  but  not comminuted ) and type C (displaced and comminuted). Herein, we report a T-Condylar fracture of the distal humerus in a 5-yr-old boy. This f...

we present an exceedingly rare case of left monteggia-galeazzi fracture-dislocation and right monteggiadistal radius fracture occurring simultaneously in a 20-year old male patient who had fallen 13 meters from a building. the combination of monteggia and galeazzi fracture-dislocation in the same forearm is very rare and, to the best of our knowledge, simultaneous bilateral monteggia and galeaz...

introduction fracture - dislocations of the talus are typically due to high energy injuries. displaced fracture - dislocations of the talus have poor outcomes in general and complications are common. although talar fracture is common and comprises the second most common tarsal fracture, bilateral fracture - dislocations of the talus are rare. not many reports regarding the subject can be found ...

background: hip fractures are serious fall injuries that often result in long-term functional impairment and increased mortality. as the population ages, the number of hip fractures is likely to increase worldwide. the main objective of this pilot study was to evaluate the risk factors of hip fracture among the older adults in the lebanese population. methods: this pilot epidemiological, prospe...

fast fracture is one of the major failure modes in brittle polymers. generally, crack growth in these polymers may occur under combined tensile-shear loading. however, the fracture test data reported previously for some dental restorative resins can not be predicted by using the available fracture criteria.in this paper, a modified fracture criterion is used for estimating the fracture load for...

background: posttraumatic and/or postsurgical knee stiff ness is one of the orthopedic complications which is difficult to be treated and can affect individual’s life negatively. the aim of this study is to investigate the results of quadricepsplasty in patients with knee stiff ness resulted from femoral fracture. materials and methods: this is a cross-sectional study on all patients with femor...

Failures in composite materials occur mainly due to interlaminar fracture, also called delamination, between laminates. This indicates that characterizing interlaminar fracture toughness is the most effective factor in the fracture of composite materials. This study reports investigation on mixed-mode interlaminar fracture behaviour in woven carbon fibre/polyetherimide (CF/PEI) thermoplastic co...

Gravity drainage is the main mechanism which controls the oil recovery from fractured reservoirs in both gas-cap drive and gas injection processes. The liquid bridge formed between two adjacent matrix blocks is responsible for capillary continuity phenomenon. The accurate determination of gas-liquid interface profile of liquid bridge is crucial to predict fracture capillary pressure precisely. ...
