MAXILLOMANDIBULAR FIXATION IN THE ANGLE AND SYMPHISIS FRACTURE OF MANDIBLE (CASE REPORT) Introduction Mandible is a corticocancelous bone and constitutes the strongest and most rigid component of the facial skeleton‚ second most commonly fractured bones of the face and this is directly related to its prominent and exposed position. Prevalence rates epidemiological studies for fracture mandible are between 60 and 81%1. The etiology of symphysis and parasymphysis fractures is largely from trauma from interpersonal

they are: 1. Hairline fracture- a thin small stress fracture often occurring in the leg. In the case of this injury‚ a splint and cast are the only medical means necessary for repair. 2. Greenstick fracture- A thin fracture‚ often appearing in the bones of children‚ which are more flexible due to immaturity. A splint and cast is the sensible tactic for healing in this case‚ to keep the bone immobilized and protected. 3. Closed fracture- A fracture

mechanical tests (especially for ferrous metals). The term brittle fracture is used to describe rapid propagation of cracks without any excessive plastic deformation at a stress level below the yield stress of the material. Metals that show ductile behavior usually can‚ under certain circumstances‚ behave in a brittle fashion. The stress needed to cause yield rises as the temperature falls. At very low temperatures‚ fracture occurs before yielding. Impact tests are used not also to measure

intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Postoperative Diagnosis: Right intertrochanteric femoral fracture. Operative Procedure: Open reduction internal fixation of right intertrochanteric femoral fracture with DePuy sliding screw. Anesthesia: General endotracheal. Indications: The patient is a 69-year-old black female who fell landing on her right hip. She was seen in the emergency room where physical exam and x-ray revealed an intertrochanteric right femoral fracture. She was admitted to

Abusive head trauma (AHT) is the most common finding of NAI leading to death in children under 1 year old (22). Even a low suspicion of AHT should require appropriate follow-up imaging given the morbidity and mortality traumatic intracranial injury (22). Injuries includes collision with a stationary object‚ direct impact to the head‚ and alternating acceleration and deceleration (22). Infants are particularly at risk for traumatic brain injury as a result of being shaken due to the relative weight

What really causes Osteoporosis? The first thing is it is very common in women but not really for men‚ but they too can get Osteoporosis to. Another thing is when women stop menstrulating Bone loss will start to happen then after that there Estrogens leve start to go down really fast. Younger women that went through menopause cause of sports or they are anoxria are more likely to get Osteoporosis‚ the reason is they are slowly losing bone loss.

Sports Medicine The injury scenario I have chosen to do is: * A female athlete with a fracture to the femur. 1. Classification and management of the injury. There are five ways to classify sports injuries. These include direct and indirect injuries‚ soft and hard tissue injuries and overuse injuries. A direct injury is caused by an external blow or force. In the case of a female athlete fracturing her femur‚ a direct injury could be the cause‚ but isn’t the most likely one. For example

The impact toughness (AKA Impact strength) of a material can be determined with a Charpy or Izod test. These tests are named after their inventors and were developed in the early 1900’s before fracture mechanics theory was available. Impact properties are not directly used in fracture mechanics calculations‚ but the economical impact tests continue to be used as a quality control method to assess notch sensitivity and for comparing the relative toughness of engineering materials. The two tests use
