Nonunion of a displaced fracture of the lateralhumeral condyle(Fig. 7-22) is a common problem. Initially, the nonunion may have only minimal separation; however, if the cartilage hinge is broken, the fracture fragments easily become displaced in the early period of cast immobilization. The fra...
The nonunion rate also varied with fracture location: scaphoid, tibia plus fibula, and femur were most likely to be nonunion. The ORs for nonunion fractures were significantly increased for risk factors, including number of fractures (OR, 2.65; 95% CI, 2.34-2.99), use of nonsteroidal ...
Lying just proximal to this was a mildly posteriorly-displaced spiral-oblique fracture of the tibia. There was also an oblique frac- ture of the proximal shaft of the fibula. Incidentally, a small tumor was noted in the proximal diaphy- seal-metaphyseal region of the tibia. The MRI and ...
three vertebrae from the mid-section and two from the posterior section of the tail show a pathological condition (Fig.3A; Fig.4A). These vertebrae were found partially articulated, since the middle three ones are fused to one another, and the posterior ones ...
0.01; P =0.024] and those with 100% initial displacement (OR=?0.35, 95% CI: ?0.64 to ?0.05; P =0.021) had decreased odds of malalignment, and having increased sagittal angulation (OR=0.02, 95% CI: 0.01-0.04; P =0.002) and a fibula fracture (OR=0.22, 95% CI: 0.03-0.41; P =...
