Titin is a giant protein responsible for muscle elasticity and provides a scaffold for several sarcomeric proteins, including the novel titin-binding protein MURF-1, which binds near the titin M-line region.
ORIF Surgery for Proximal Humerus Fracture. This surgical procedure repairs a break in the proximal end of the humerus. ORIF stands for Open Reduction Internal Fixation. During this procedure, an incision will be made and a metal plate will be attached to the humerus to hold the bone in place while it heals. Preparation.
Aims and Objectives: Fractures of Humerus can be treated conservatively, but often present problems of compliance. malunion, delayed/ nonunion needing intervention. One option for fixation of these fractures is closed fixation by multiple. flexible intramedullary nails. A prospective study was undertaken to study this method of treatment. Materials and Methods: In two private hospitals over a period of 7 years, 132 patients of fracture humerus shaft were fixed.
