There is rare studies with regard to sesamoid bone variations of the hand in addition to its prevalence and distribution. This study aims to assess both the prevalence and variation of sesamoid bones of the hand. A retrospective review of posteroanterior (PA) and oblique radiographs of 436 left and 414 right hands of 850 adult patients obtained from four hospitals was performed. All X-ray films...

conclusion for the identification of nasal bone fractures, ct was significantly superior to conventional radiography. although a staff radiologist showed better values in the identification of nasal bone fracture and differentiation between depressed and non-depressed fractures than a trainee, there was no statistically significant difference in the interpretation of conventional radiography an...

Fracture of the long bone is a commonly encountered orthopaedic problem in canine practice (Aithal et al.,1999). Femur fractures are one most common affections dogs comprising 35 % hind limb and 24 %of all (Johnson al., 1998). Proximal distal epiphyseal happen young animals, whereas diaphyseal metaphyseal more frequent older animals(Guiot 2012, Abd El Raouf, 2017). They difficult to repair due ...

Patients with pathologic hip fractures or impending pathologic proximal femur fractures are at a high risk for developing bone cement implantation syndrome during cemented femoral arthroplasty. Comorbid conditions of patients who sustain these fractures, including cardiopulmonary compromise and permeable, highly vascular bone related to metastatic disease, put them at risk for sudden death. Red...

Osteoporosis is a characterized by low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration, with a consequent increase in bone fragility [1]. Bone strength impairment leads to an increased risk of fracture, as strenght reflects the integration of bone quantity (bone mineral density, BMD) and bone quality [2]. Common sites of osteoporotic fractures are spine, hip, distal forearm and proximal homerus....

The plantar plate of the first metatarsophalangeal (MP) joint is a critical structure of the forefoot that has been identified as a major stabilizer within the capsuloligamentous complex. Many studies have clarified and documented the anatomy of the lesser toe MP plantar plates, but few have looked closely at the anatomy of the first MP joint. Ten cadaveric specimens were examined to identify a...

CONTEXT Fractures of proximal fifth metatarsal are one of the most common fractures of the foot. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A search of PubMed for studies on proximal fifth metatarsal fracture and Jones fracture focusing on the classification and management was performed. The reference list of the retrieved articles was searched for additional related studies. RESULTS The vascular supply and soft...

OBJECTIVE Intramedullary nailing of nonarticular proximal tibia fractures can be affected by bone density resulting in loss of stability, fixation, and malalignment in osteopenic bone. This study was designed to quantify the biomechanical effects of augmenting proximal screws with cement in intramedullary nailing of high proximal third tibial fractures. DESIGN In vitro biomechanical study usi...

Most of the controversy regarding fractures of the fifth metatarsal relates to injuries sustained in the proximal third of the bone. This article serves as an overview of proximal fifth metatarsal fractures, covering the cause, mechanisms of injury, and pertinent anatomy of this injury. The author proposes a classification scheme for fractures of the fifth metatarsal and gives some historical a...

Proximal humerus fractures account for approximately 4 – 5% of the all fractures [1,2,3]. The incidence of fracture is more common in the elderly because of decreased bone density. But it can occur in younger age group following high velocity trauma [3]. Because of increasing incidence of high velocity trauma, the fracture patterns in proximal humerus are becoming complicated. It has been alway...
