Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Osteomyelitis of the carpus is a challenging reconstructive problem that is fortunately rare. Aggressive debridement of infected and non-viable bone is essential, often leaving extensive bone defects. Non-vascularized bone grafting is an option, but there is literature to suggest that vascularized bone reconstruction leads to faster and more successful union rates, while maintaining low complication rates. In this chapter, the use of a free medial femoral condyle (MFC) flap for salvage wrist arthrodesis to treat osteomyelitis of the entire carpus is outlined.
