Fractures: Bone Repair

6.7K
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...

Cardiomyopathy III: Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

732
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or HCM, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder characterized by asymmetric left ventricular hypertrophy without ventricular dilation. It is more common in men and is typically diagnosed in young, athletic adults.EtiologyHCM is primarily genetic and is caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomeric proteins. Researchers have identified over 1400 mutations across at least 11 different genes. Among these, the most frequently occurring mutations are found in the...

Desmosomes

9.3K
The term desmosome derives from the Greek words "desmo" and "soma" meaning "adhesion bodies." This structure was first observed during the late 1800s and described as small, dense nodules in the epidermis. Desmosomes are button-like structures that help form an interlinked network of intermediate filaments across the cells. These junctions are  essential to hold cells together under mechanical stress and to maintain tissue integrity. Desmosomes are multi-protein...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Orthopedics
  • Developmental Biology
  • Hand Surgery

Background:

  • Symbrachydactyly is a congenital hand difference with varied presentations.
  • It is often misdiagnosed as other congenital hand differences.
  • Classification systems categorize it as an undergrowth or failure of axis formation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive overview of symbrachydactyly.
  • To discuss its classification, characteristics, and treatment considerations.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on congenital hand differences.
  • Analysis of classification schemes for symbrachydactyly.
  • Description of morphologic features and functional outcomes.

Main Results:

  • Symbrachydactyly results from disrupted embryonic formation and differentiation.
  • It presents as a smaller, shorter hand with underdeveloped digits, nubbins, or absent digits.
  • Categorization is based on digit number, morphology, and function.

Conclusions:

  • Symbrachydactyly is a spectrum of congenital undergrowth.
  • Treatment is individualized to enhance hand function and aesthetics.
  • Accurate diagnosis is crucial due to its varied presentations.
