Double Interphalangeal Joint Dislocation of the Finger in Adolescent Athletes: A Review of Two Cases and the Relevant Literature

Double interphalangeal joint dislocation of the same finger is a rare condition. We report two cases of adolescent athletes with distal and proximal interphalangeal joint dislocation. The diagnosis was confirmed with plain radiograph, while anatomical reduction was easily obtained with gentle longitudinal traction. A simple immobilization of the injured finger was applied by buddy taping for two weeks. Early mobilization as tolerated was recommended, and they have made a full return to their previous status of activities within 5 months. We also provide a review of the literature detailing demographic characteristics, cause and mechanism of injury with associated injuries, treatment options, and functional outcomes in this population

Autonomous robots, drones and repeaters for fast, reliable, low-cost RFID inventorying & localization

Summarization: This paper presents our latest results of our prototype robots and drones, aiming continuous inventorying and accurate real-time 3D localization of RFID tagged items. We have designed and constructed two ground robots, capable of autonomous inventorying in unknown regions, exploiting state-of-the-art methods from the field of robotics and RF-localization. Furthermore, we present our prototype drone, also capable of 3D inventorying and localization. In addition, we demonstrate the performance of our prototype RFID repeater, which also boosts the read-range of traditional RFID technology. The results of measurements campaigns conducted in different environments for the above prototypes are presented herein.Παρουσιάστηκε στο: 2021 6th International Conference on Smart and Sustainable Technologie
