Abstract:

Three severely demented elderly patients had fixed flexion contractures of all fingers of one or both hands. This caused an unpleasant problem of hygiene and of nail ingrowth into the palm. A surgical solution to this problem is described, with good results.

Fractures: Bone Repair01:27

Fractures: Bone Repair

Treatment for a fracture is based on the type of break, the bone affected, and the patient's age.
Minor fractures with no bone displacement are treated by immobilizing the fractured bone using a cast or splint. However, in the case of fractures with displaced bones, the broken bones are repositioned before immobilization to ensure successful healing without deformation and loss of function. The realignment of fractured bone ends is performed through a process called reduction. If the procedure...
