We hypothesised that using a palmaris longus tendon ball (PLTB) with bone core (w bc) after excisional arthroplasty for Kienböck disease would maintain post-operative carpal height compared to a PLTB… (More)
A total of 118 consecutive patients with a fracture of the distal radius were treated with a volar locking plate; 50 patients had no ulnar styloid fracture, 41 had a basal ulnar styloid fracture, and… (More)
PURPOSE
To investigate whether the degree of radiographically observed pretreatment radius deformity of low-energy Colles' type distal radius fractures resulting from falls is associated with the… (More)
Unipedal standing time was shorter and bone mineral density was lower in Japanese women aged 50 years and over with low-energy distal radius fractures resulting from falls than those in age-matched… (More)
The aim of this study was to test the effect of unipedal standing exercise on bone mineral density (BMD) of the hip in postmenopausal women. Japanese postmenopausal women (n = 94) were assigned at… (More)
BACKGROUND
Within the past 2 years, three cases of cardiac arrest just after rapid transfusion of RBCs preserved for over 7 days after 15-Gy irradiation were found. This severe complication caused… (More)

BACKGROUND
The use of bioabsorbable implants to negate the need for subsequent removal could offer major clinical advantages for the fixation of fractures. The aims of this study were to compare the… (More)
