Determining Sex from Thai Radius: Discriminant Function Analysis Including the Dry Bone Weight as an Effective Variant

Int. j. morphol; 42 (4), 2024
SUMMARY: In forensic anthropology, the radius bone has been shown to determine the sex of human remains in a number of different populations. The dry mass and growth of long bones, including the radius, are associated with sex hormone levels; however, the use of bone weight to determine sex has not been ...

Radiological Evaluation of Volar Cortical Angle in the Anatolian Population

Int. j. morphol; 41 (5), 2023
SUMMARY: Distal radius fractures are the most common fractures of the upper limb. The most commonly used method in the repair of these fractures is volar locking plates. Recently, the frequency of removal of volar locking plates after surgery has increased. There are many factors in its reduction. Anatom...

Radiographic morphometry of the distal end radius in Anatolian population

Int. j. morphol; 41 (1), 2023
SUMMARY: Distal radius fractures are one of the most common orthopedic injuries encountered by orthopedic surgeons. Correction of dorsal tilt and radial height is essential to restore normal biomechanics of the wrist joint. Comprehensive knowledge of the morphometry of the distal radius of the local popu...

Madelung Deformity - Esthetic and Functional Outcomes from the Surgical Treatment with Distal Radial Dome Osteotomy and Vickers Ligament Section

Abstract Objective The present study aimed to evaluate esthetic and functional outcomes from the surgical treatment of Madelung deformity in children. MethodThis is a retrospective study of pediatric patients with Madelung deformity who were surgically treated with dome osteotomy of the distal radius an...

Use of aromatase inhibitors in patients with breast cancer is associated with deterioration of bone microarchitecture and density

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate changes in bone density and architecture in postmenopausal women with breast cancer (BC) and use of aromatase inhibitor (AI). Subjects and methods: Thirty-four postmenopausal women with BC, without bone metastasis, renal function impairment and who were not receiving bon...

Estudio morfométrico del radio proximal en una población chilena

Int. j. morphol; 39 (2), 2021
RESUMEN: El objetivo de esta investigación fue determinar la morfometría del extremo proximal del radio, mediante mediciones efectuadas en la cabeza, cuello y tuberosidad del radio, en una población chilena y compararlas según sexo. Se efectuó un estudio transversal analizando exámenes de TomografÃ...

Anatomical features of some bones of the forelimbs of lions (Panthera leo)

Int. j. morphol; 39 (2), 2021
SUMMARY: We studied the bones of forelimb of four adult lions (Panthera leo) of both sexes to record the gross anatomical and morphometrical features of the scapula, humerus, radius and ulna. We observed some unique anatomical features that will be helpful for radiographic interpretation and forensic inv...

Reconstruction with a Custom made Prosthetic Wrist Arthrodesis after Bone Tumor Resections of the Distal Radius. Single Centre Experience

Abstract Objective The present study aimed at analyzing the clinical, radiological and functional results of the reconstruction of the distal radius after tumor resection with a custom-made metal arthrodesis implant and compare them with other types of distal radius reconstruction, as presented in the l...

Fracturas intraarticulares de radio distal: reducción bajo fluoroscopía versus asistencia artroscópica. Revisión sistemática

Acta ortop. mex; 34 (6), 2020
Resumen: Introducción: Las fracturas intraarticulares de radio distal son un desafío terapéutico para el cirujano ortopedista. Hay estudios que avalan el uso de la fluoroscopía y otros promueven la artroscopia. Con este trabajo intentamos resumir la evidencia, para determinar si la asistencia artro...

Tuberosity Healing after Reverse Shoulder Arthroplasty for Proximal Humerus Fractures: Is there Clinical Improvement?

Abstract Objective To compare the functional results of patients with complex proximal humerus fracture submitted to total shoulder reverse arthroplasty with and without tuberosity healing. The secondary goal was to know the tuberosity healing rate after reverse shoulder arthroplasty with our surgical t...
