In hip fracture care, it is disputed whether mortality worsens when surgery is delayed. This
knowledge gap matters when hospital managers seek to justify resource allocation for …

Objectives/Hypothesis: Proximal and distal femur fractures have traditionally been treated with
open reduction and internal fixation through a standard lateral approach. New," minimally …

Background Proximal humerus fractures are a common fragility fracture that significantly
affects the independence of older adults. The outcomes of these fractures are frequently …

Medicago truncatula has all the characteristics required for a concerted analysis of nitrogen-fixing
symbiosis withRhizobium using the tools of molecular biology, cellular biology and …

Background Several patient and health system factors were associated with the risk of death
among patients with hip fracture. However, without knowledge of underlying mechanisms …

We conducted a prospective, randomized, controlled trial to compare functional outcomes,
complications, and reoperation rates in elderly patients with displaced intra-articular, distal …

Results of recent imaging studies and theoretical models suggest that the superior femoral

Objective: We conducted a study to evaluate the long-term functional outcomes of patients
with an isolated tibial shaft fracture treated with locked intramedullary nailing. Design: …

Objectives: The optimal treatment for pilon fractures remains controversial. We have used
early single-stage open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF) to treat these injuries and the …

Finite element (FE) analysis based on quantitative computed tomography (QCT) images is
an emerging tool to estimate bone strength in a specific patient or specimen; however, it is …
