A Ccomparative Study of Oxytocin and Misoprostol in Preventing Postpartum Hemorrhage


Abstract in English

The study covered 30 cases of patellar fractures in persons who were accepted and treated surgically at Al-Assad University Hospital in Lattakia from 2008 to 2013.Ages of patients ranged between 16-70 years. Average load of clinical and radial continuation was six months. The smaller age of traumatism amounted 16 years and larger age 70 years; average load of age was 37.66 years. The number of traumatism in male was amounted 12 and female 18. In estimating the results, we depend on Lysholm scale scoring. Functional results were studied after 6 months and we had excellent result in 27% of cases and good results in 47% of other cases
