Correction of Cubitus Varus After Pediatric Supracondylar Elbow Fracture: Alternative Method Using the Taylor Spatial Frame.

Belthur MV1, Iobst CA, Bor N, Segev E, Eidelman M, Standard SC, Herzenberg JE.
Journal of pediatric orthopedics.J Pediatr Orthop.2016 Sep;36(6):608-17. doi: 10.1097/BPO.0000000000000500.
BACKGROUND: Cubitus varus is a well-reported complication of supracondylar fracture of the humerus potentially resulting in cosmetic problems, impaired function, and malpractice claims. Traditional methods of correcting malunited distal humeral fractures involve complex osteotomies that have a high

A three-dimensional morphometric analysis of upper forelimb morphology in the enigmatic tapir (Perissodactyla: Tapirus) hints at subtle variations in locomotor ecology.

MacLaren JA1, Nauwelaerts S1,2.
Journal of morphology.J Morphol.2016 Aug 13. doi: 10.1002/jmor.20588. [Epub ahead of print]
Forelimb morphology is an indicator for terrestrial locomotor ecology. The limb morphology of the enigmatic tapir (Perissodactyla: Tapirus) has often been compared to that of basal perissodactyls, despite the lack of quantitative studies comparing forelimb variation in modern tapirs. Here, we presen

SICOT-J.SICOT J.2016 Apr 5;2:15. doi: 10.1051/sicotj/2016010.
This case report describes our first clinical experience of a previously described new surgical technique for the treatment of unstable simple elbow dislocations. The technique utilises a central strip of the distal triceps tendon which is harvested proximally at the musculotendonous junction and le
