Scaphoid fracture

everybody, Wrist fractures are fairly common injuries that are seen in the emergency department with regular radiograph used as the first choice of approach for diagnosis (Balci et al., 2015). According to Balci et al. (2015), the gross sensitivity of plain radiographs is between 57.8% to 63.7% while the use of a multidetector computerized tomography was able to expose 128 occult fractures out of 457 wrists examined that was missed by radiography. Scaphoid fractures account for 60% of carpal

Summery Background Clinical evaluation of suspected scaphoid injury is based on history, inspection and physical examination. Improving the accuracy of the non-radiological part of the evaluation will limit unnecessary immobilization and expensive imaging modalities when standard radiographs appear normal. Objectives To provide an overview of available clinical evaluation tests for scaphoid fractures and to compare their diagnostic accuracies. Methods We performed a systematic review of all studies

individual suffers from their activities of daily living, missed work or sports due to early restrictions of hand/wrist motion (provided and prescribed by medical practitioners) due to the unconfirmed diagnosis of wrist pathology, such as scaphoid waist fracture. A scaphoid bone is the largest bone at the upper portion of the carpal bones and plays a significant role in the articulation of the

Have you ever wanted something so severely and it ripped out from underneath you? That’s exactly how I felt after finding out I could no longer continue my high school volleyball career. I was ready to have the volleyball season of my life and then I came up short. God always has a plan, but at this point I can’t think of a single reason why he would do this to me and make me miss out on my senior season of my favorite sport. Every time I stepped on the court I gave everything I had and I did the

Thank you for your informative discussion here. I agree on your statements that scaphoid bone fracture is more common among carpal bone fractures. According to Boles et al., scaphoid bone fracture accounts 71% of all carpal bone fractures (2015). The most commonly seen in the age group of 15-60year of age male individuals, moreover, 5-12% scaphoid bone fracture related to other injury and 1% have bilateral involvements (Boles, 2015). Most common carpal instability pattern is scaphoidlunate dissociation

complications if the scaphoid fracture is not detected and treated at the early stage? I enjoyed reading your post. A fracture in the scaphoid is causing an insufficient blood supply to the wrist joint, leading to possible avascular necrosis (Ramponi, 2012). Subsequently, avascular necrosis of the carpal bone, contributing to a decline in hand grip function and wrist movement (Waldman, 2014). Untreated or incomplete union of the scaphoid bone associated with a fracture may lead to various

Scaphoid fracture is the most common type of wrist fracture and is an important health problem as it affects predominately young active individuals (mean age 29)1. They are therefore of significant social and economic importance. These fractures account for 2-7% of all fractures1. They commonly occur when a patient falls onto an outstretched hand or are sustained as a sporting injury. Scaphoid fractures are notoriously difficult to image and due to the poor blood supply, has issue with regard to

selection of material’s grade is the most important part for this type of ships. In fact, steel at low-temperature crystallizes and becomes subject of brittle fractures. This is why the design of a LNG/C has to be very accurate to prevent the risk that the cargo, at its temperature (-163 °C) may leak on the hull structures and cause fractures. This event could lead to crack the hull in very short time and to its complete loss. Figure 2, Steel Cutting of Hull No. 1585 145,000 M3 LNG/C Physical

The question propose stated, do you think mining fracking sand would support the halakhah? Personally I don't think that the halakhah would support the idea of mining fracking sand. There are many dangers into mining, and the side effects that come with mining are very terrifying. However, there are also some benefits to mining fracking sand. I just don't think the benefits are worth the risk mining fracking sand proposes, and that's why I think the halakhah wouldn’t support the idea of mining fracking
