Fracture healing is a complex biological process that requires interaction among a series of
different cell types. Maintaining the appropriate temporal progression and spatial pattern is …

Background: There is a current trend in orthopaedic practice to treat nondisplaced or
minimally displaced fractures with early open reduction and internal fixation instead of cast …

Background: The current consensus in the literature is that the anterolateral branch of the
anterior humeral circumflex artery provides the main blood supply to the humeral head …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of our study was to determine which wrist fractures are not
prospectively diagnosed at radiography using CT as a gold standard and to identify specific …

Not all proximal pole scaphoid nonunions with avascular necrosis require vascularized
bone graft or a formal open incision. If the distal scaphoid is well perfused and the proximal …

Posttraumatic avascular necrosis (AVN) is osteonecrosis from vascular disruption,
commonly encountered after fractures of the femoral neck, proximal humerus, talar neck …

We followed 35 consecutive patients with scaphoid nonunions in a prospective longitudinal
registry. All nonunions were treated with curettage, non-vascularized autogenous grafting …

Background: Displacement is an important risk factor for nonunion of scaphoid wrist
fractures. We compared computed tomography with radiographs with regard to their ability to …

INTRODUCTION: Clinical examination of suspected scaphoid fractures is sensitive, but not
specific, and initial plain radiographs lack sensitivity. A variety of second-line imaging …

Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging for chronic wrist pain is challenging. Correct assessment
of the triangular fibrocartilage, hyaline cartilage, ligaments, and tendons has become …
