Abstract: Existing brittle fracture models have been reviewed and their applicability to explain the in-service brittle fracture failure of composite (nonceramic) insulators is evaluated. It is shown ...

The injuries in Group 1 nearly always involve a fracture of the radial head. Coronoid fractures are common as well and are almost always limited to less than 50% of the height of the coronoid ...

A rare case of fracture of the coronoid and the pterygoid process caused by firearms is described. A 28-year-old male was hit by a bullet in the face, resulting in restricted mouth opening, difficulty ...

The ideal treatment of terrble triad injuries and whether fixation of coronoid process fractures is needed or not are still debated. Therefore, we aimed to investigate if terrible triad injuries ...

Radiographs were taken at initial presentation (fig 1). Left posterior elbow dislocation with radial head and coronoid fractures. This combination is known as the “terrible triad injury of elbow” (TTE ...

Composite rocks comprise the rock structures that are commonly used in geotechnical engineering. The fracture configuration has a substantial influence on the mechanical behavior, failure mode, and ...

Phosphorus Control Linked to Self-Motivation in ESRD Risk of fracture at specific sites differed by cause of kidney failure, investigators found. Overall and site-specific fracture rates vary by ...

Coronoid fractures are often associated with other elbow injuries ... In addition, ORIF group was associated with a higher risk of implant failure. The study concluded that in TTIs with LUCL injuries, ...
