Our argument is broader than theirs in that we argue that both fixation of editing sites and fixation of mutations at editable sites were achieved by natural selection.
The data on distribution of editing sites among codon positions, codons, and genes as we presented above demonstrate clearly that fixation of editing sites and fixation of mutations at editable sites followed a pattern of functional selection.
The few reported cases of pseudo-arthrosis of the spine of the scapula were treated by resection of the fibrous tissue, bone grafting of the fracture site and rigid fixation [1, 11].
They include the development of small-size shelterbelts for the protection of individual farmersoØ crops, the establishment of pilot productive shelterbelts on poor sites and the fixation and re-vegetation of shifting sand dunes.
The results of this study were comparable to and, to some extent, better than the results of other studies concerning coxa vara, regardless of the etiological cause, osteotomy site, and mode of fixation.
Minor elements of the procedure included bone grafting of the acromion process osteotomy site, and semi-rigid fixation of the clavicular osteotomy segments to prevent nonunion.
> The Mayo Clinic classified recurrences according to symptoms and the degree and site of fixation.
Note the mature bone healing at the docking site with good alignment and fixation.
This might prevent damage to the fixation site and also prevent the penetration into the bladder and, thus, may avoid this complication altogether.
They applied one 1.4-mm 4-hole plate and 8-mm monocortical screws at a mandibular SSRO site and recommended longer intermaxillary fixation, double osteosynthesis or use of larger plates [30].
