Rows are ordered descending from proximal (shoulder) to distal (metacarpal phalanges, MCP, proximal interphalanges, PIP). (D) Example loss curve of the cross-validated principal component analysis ...

Answer The radiographs show a fracture of the right fifth metacarpal neck, with the distal fragment angulated towards the radial and palmar sides (fig 1), commonly referred to as a boxer’s fracture.

The metacarpal shaft scan region of interest extended from 4.5 mm distal to the reference line to 9.02 mm (110 slices) proximal to the reference line (Figure 2 A, B, C).

So, doctors tried something more imaginative. “We banked the first metacarpal bone in the distal forearm for later reconstruction,” doctors said.

A few others have examined measurement precision of metacarpal head microstructure in those with RA. [21, 26, 30, 31] Fouque-Aubert et al., [21] used standard image methods to assess HR-pQCT ...

Background: Surgical fixation using intramedullary headless screws (IHS) is a relatively new technique for metacarpal fracture repair. However, there are very few studies investigating the outcomes of ...

Each finger has three phalanges (the distal, middle, and proximal). The thumb only has two. Metacarpal bones. These five bones make up the middle part of the hand. Carpal bones. These eight bones ...

Deep learning offers novel methods to ‘learn’ radiographic texture features relevant to RA. Objectives: To develop a deep learning model to assess the radiographic bone texture in the distal ...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Metacarpal fractures are common and can be treated surgically using Kirschner wires (K-wires) or intramedullary fixation with compression screws (IMCS). Objectives: Analyze the ...

Coupling coefficients ranged 1.4 – 1.9 and 0.7 – 0.9 for the proximal and distal couplings respectively. Given its distinctive kinematic structure, the thumb exhibited a particular behaviour, as its ...
