Fractures in Brief: Olecranon Fractures [PDF]
Clinical Orthopaedics & Related Research, 2012 Olecranon fractures are relatively common injuries, accounting for approximately 10% of upper extremity fractures in adults [26]. These fractures may result from a direct blow to the proximal ulna, or indirectly, via the forceful contraction of the triceps against resistance (typically, during a fall onto an outstretched hand).

Characterizing Natural Fractures and Their Interactions with Hydraulically Induced Fractures [PDF]
, 2018 Natural fractures are preexisting micro-cracks and fissures that can have a critical impact on hydraulic fracture treatments in shales. Most shale formations contain natural fractures, but the characteristics of these natural fractures can vary ...

Comorbidities only account for a small proportion of excess mortality after fracture: A record linkage study of individual fracture types [PDF]
, 2018 Background: Non-hip non-vertebral fractures (NHNV) constitute the majority of osteoporotic fractures but few studies have examined the association between these fractures, co-morbidity and mortality.

Hangman’s fracture vs hanged-man’s fracture vs hangee’s fracture [PDF]
Acta Neurochirurgica, 2013 not necessarily a male. The conventional name of “hangman’s fracture”, therefore, should be “hanged-person’s fracture”. Accordingly, we suggest that a more suitable terminology for the so-called “hangman’s fracture” may be the “hangee’s fracture”.

Fractal model and Lattice Boltzmann Method for Characterization of Non-Darcy Flow in Rough Fractures. [PDF]
, 2017 The irregular morphology of single rock fracture significantly influences subsurface fluid flow and gives rise to a complex and unsteady flow state that typically cannot be appropriately described using simple laws.

Intramedullary Nailing of Periarticular Fractures [PDF]
, 2018 Plate fixation has historically been the preferred surgical treatment method for periarticular fractures of the lower extremity. This trend has stemmed from difficulties with fracture reduction and concerns of inadequate fixation with intramedullary ...

A PDE-constrained optimization formulation for discrete fracture network flows [PDF]
, 2013 We investigate a new numerical approach for the computation of the 3D flow in a discrete fracture network that does not require a conforming discretization of partial differential equations on complex 3D systems of planar fractures.
