Open Reduction and Internal Fixation with Mini-plate and Screws for Management of Unstable Metacarpal Fracture among Hand Injuries in a Tertiary Care Center: A Descriptive Cross-sectional Study

Journal of Nepal Medical Association, 2021
Introduction: Hand injuries metacarpal fractures are common and it accounts about 14 to 28%. Mini-plate fixation in unstable metacarpal fractures provides absolute stability and early mobilization of fingers to reduce complications.

Skeletal pathology and variable anatomy in elephant feet assessed using computed tomography [PDF]

, 2017
Foot problems are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in elephants, but are underreported due to difficulties in diagnosis, particularly of conditions affecting the bones and internal structures. Here we evaluate post-mortem computer tomographic (CT)

The tiger salamander as a promising alternative model organism to the axolotl for fracture healing and regenerative biology research

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Scientists have been captivated by the ability to regenerate, focusing on uncovering the mechanisms of epimorphic regeneration and applying them to human medicine. The axolotl (Ambystoma mexicanum) has become the most intensively studied model in tetrapod regeneration research, particularly concerning limb regeneration.

A novel experimental design for the measurement of metacarpal bone loading and deformation and fingertip force [PDF]

PeerJ, 2018
Background Musculoskeletal and finite element modelling are often used to predict joint loading and bone strength within the human hand, but there is a lack of in vitro evidence of the force and strain experienced by hand bones.

Skeletal pathologies in extant crocodilians as a window into the paleopathology of fossil archosaurs

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Crocodilians, together with birds, are the only extant relatives to many extinct archosaur groups, making them highly important for interpreting paleopathological conditions in a phylogenetic disease bracketing model. Despite this, comprehensive data on osteopathologies in crocodilians remain scarce.

The skeleton of the green Iguana iguana (Squamata: Iguanidae) and its intraspecific morphological variation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract The green iguana (Iguana iguana) is an iguanine lizard with herbivorous and arboreal habits, whose distribution spans through South America, Central America to the south of North America. Although the genus Iguana is well‐known, the species still lacks a comprehensive and up‐to‐date anatomical study, particularly addressing the axial skeleton,

Differences in predominant collagen fiber orientation between dorsal and plantar trabecular bone tracts of adult mule deer calcanei suggest strain‐mode‐specific adaptation

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Polarized microscopic images of the outer bone cortex (a and b) and deeper trabecular bone (c and d) of the deer calcaneus in thin cross‐sections. The brighter gray levels reflect more oblique‐to‐transverse collagen fibers in the compression/dorsal bone (a, c) and the darker gray levels reflect more longitudinal collagen in the tension/plantar bone (b,

A Case of Aneurysmal Bone Cyst of Fourth Metacarpal Bone: A Rare Entity at Unusual Location [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research
An Aneurysmal Bone Cyst (ABC) is a locally aggressive, rapidly growing, rare benign bone tumour that typically occurs in children and early adulthood. It usually occurs in the first and second decades of life, with a female predominance.
