Fracture

Skull fractures can be difficult to confidently and accurately diagnose in infants due to the thin nature and variability of the skull and the sutures. We sought to determine whether 3D reconstructions improve the diagnostic yield and speed of diagnosis of skull pathology in infants receiving head CT for trauma We did a retrospective review of head CT’s obtained in children less than 2 years of age over 12 month period. There were 292 studies, 180 of these had 3D reconstructions, and 24 of…

your shoulders and rib cage. A clavicle fracture is a broken clavicle. It is a common injury that can happen at any age. What are the causes? Common causes of a clavicle fracture include: A direct blow to your shoulder. A car accident. A fall, especially if you try to break your fall with an outstretched arm. What increases the risk? You are more likely to develop this condition if: You are younger than 25 years or older than 75 years. Most clavicle fractures happen to people who are younger…

Abstract Hip fractures configure an important public health issue and most common, serious musculo-skeletal injury to affect the elderly population. Hip fractures refer to a fracture occurring betweenthe edge of the femoral head and 5 cm below the lesser trochanter and this typ of fracteres are very painful and need immediateadequate analgesia. Approximately 80 000 hip fractures occur each year in the UK with an estimated annual associated cost of £2 billion. The annual burden of hip fractures…

processes. Fractures are made in a reversed order starting form the end of the horizontal hole. Plugs are then placed upon the completion of each stage to prevent communication between the stages. A Problem with Economic Consequences A major issue that is encountered during the fracturing process is the hydraulic communication among the stages. This is specifically a common problem in carbonate rocks as well as formations with a relatively low permeability in the direction of the fractures. In…

Matt Todd, a rugby player from New Zealand, suffered a hand fracture in an August 27 game. His team, Canterbury, was playing against another New Zealand team, Otago. While Todd finished the game, a visit to a specialist the day after the game confirmed that he had fractured his left hand. Todd is expected to be unable to play for at least a month. His injury came at an especially disappointing time since New Zealand is currently participating in the Rugby Championship, an annual rugby…

The Posterior wall acetabulum fractures are the most common acetabulum fracture. Most of this fracture requires surgical intervention. Less invasion treatment planning, choice of suitable surgical approach, minimal injury to the soft tissue, muscles, nerves and blood vessels, anatomical reduction maneuvers and surgical fixations are most important for best surgical reconstruction. The aim of our study is less invasive posterior approach, small incision, minimal bluntly splitting of gluteus…

biological materials, to determine their effectiveness as a scaffold or sufficient structure for various other uses, often they are tested for their resistance to fracture. This is referred to as fracture propagation. Bamboo Bamboo is well known for its sufficient mechanical properties, and great flexibility. It also has great fracture toughness. Bamboo is considered to be a bio composite, meaning it encompasses multiple biological features and traits. It has a honeycomb structure of fibers,…

obtain the critical ERRs Gc (i.e. interfacial fracture toughness) of the interface between Cu leadframe and EMC. They were determined by the FEM simulations using the three mentioned methods: VCCT, VCE and J-integral. The verification of simulations was performed using an analytical solution (eq. (6)). Based on the critical ERRs obtained from different specimens tested at different temperatures, the temperature dependence of the interfacial fracture toughness was investigated. The upper EMC…

AND OBJECTIVES 1. To study lower third tibia fracture patterns. 2. To study the management of these fractures by Ender’s nailing and its functional outcome. 3. To study various complications in patients managed by Ender’s nailing 4. To set guidelines for management of these fractures. REVIEW OF LITERATURE HISTORICAL REVIEW Fractures have been recognized and treated as long as recorded history. History of fracture and its knowledge dates back to Egyptian…

Hip Fracture in Older Adults Causes Hip fracture in older adults can be caused or sustained from a variety of causes. It is quite common for fractures to be sustained from falls in older adults who may have already been having some form of mobility issues to begin with. Of course spontaneous fractures may also occur during normal weight bearing movements due to Osteoporosis or other conditions or medications that may weaken the bones as well. Certain populations such as white women may also be…
