Use of deep learning methods for hand fracture detection from plain hand radiographs.

Background: Patients with hand trauma are usually examined in emergency departments of hospitals. Hand fractures are frequently observed in patients with hand trauma. Here, we aim to develop a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) method to assist physicians in the diagnosis of hand fractures using deep learning methods.

Dissociation of bipolar components following bipolar hemiarthroplasty: A report of two different cases and review of the literature.

In elder patients, the treatment for femoral neck fracture generally involves bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty. Hip dislocation is one of the most common complications of bipolar hip hemiarthroplasty. In many studies, hemiarthroplasty dislocation frequency ranged from 1.

The effect of the angle between fracture line and Kirschner wires on stability in supracondylar humerus fractures treated with Kirschner wire fixation: A finite element analysis.

Objectives: This study aims to investigate the effects of the angles created by the Kirschner wires (K-wires), which are applied in the percutaneous fixation of supracondylar humerus fractures with cross K-wire, with the fracture line on fracture stabilization.

Patients And Methods: The study was conducted on distal humerus fracture models. Medial and lateral K-wires were placed in the fracture models.

Comparison of functional outcomes in patients fixed with dynamic hip screw and proximal femur nail-anti-rotation in A1 and A2 type intertrochanteric femur fractures.

Background: We aimed to compare clinical and functional outcomes between patients treated with Dynamic hip screw (DHS) and Proximal Femoral Nail-Antirotation (PFN-A) implants.

Methods: This study included 122 patients (66 men [54.1%] and 56 women [45.

Investigation of exhaust emissions of an isolated diesel engine blended with ethylhexyl nitrate using experimental and ANN approach.

Thermal barrier coating (TBC) implementations and oxygenated additives are remarkable issues that may decrease the exhaust emissions of engines. This study examines the effect of chromium oxide (CrO) coating and the addition of ethylhexyl nitrate (EHN) on exhaust emissions of a diesel engine. In addition, an artificial neural network (ANN) model was designed which estimates exhaust emissions based on engine speed in order to reduce time, labor, and costs lost in experimental studies, and the performance of the ANN was evaluated.

A neglected case of giant synovial chondromatosis in knee joint.

Synovial chondromatosis is a rare benign condition arising from the synovial membrane of the joints, synovial sheaths or bursae around the joints. Primary synovial chondromatosis typically affects the large joints in the third to fifth decade of life. The purpose of this case report is to document this rare synovial pathology, which required open synovectomy and debridement to eradicate it.
