A less invasive corrective osteotomy for symptomatic post-traumatic deformity of the distal radius was done in 12 patients. They were followed up for an average of 3.7 years. The indications for correction were based on the patients' level of activities, pain, functional limitations, loss of grip strength or deformity occurring with an extra-articular rotational malunion of the distal end of the radius. The procedure included a dorsal open wedge osteotomy through a dorsal incision in which the fulcrum of rotation, or hinge, was located at the palmar cortex, and stabilized with an extra- and intramedullary fixed angle device. The bone defect was replaced with autologous morsellized iliac bone graft. The final outcome was graded as very good in eight patients, good in two and fair in two. Level of evidence: IV.
This paper describes the implementation of a semi-analytical inversion model within a parallel processing framework. The greater processing speed obtained with this parallel implementation is demonstrated. A reduction of 97% in the execution time is achieved. This approach enables real time processing capabilities and more complex analysis to simultaneously classify water properties, bathymetry and benthic composition associated with coral reefs and other shallow costal subsurface environments.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
