To evaluate the midterm results of 50 patients who underwent total knee replacement using Press Fit Condylar (PFC) Sigma system.We retrospectively reviewed 87 consecutive cases (50 with 37 bilateral cases) PFC performed between January 1998 and December 1999. Patients were evaluated clinically radiographically by an independent observer. The American Knee Society Score, Oxford radiographic assessment used to rate function determine satisfaction level each patient.The mean age at time...
Acromioclavicular injuries are common in sports medicine. Surgical intervention is generally advocated for chronic instability of Rockwood grade III and more severe injuries. Various methods coracoclavicular ligament reconstruction augmentation have been described. The objective this study to compare the biomechanical properties a novel palmaris-longus tendon with those native AC+CC ligaments, modified Weaver-Dunn reconstruction, ACJ capsuloligamentous complex repair, screw clavicle hook...

There is no large population size study on school screening for scoliosis in Malaysia. This aimed to determine the prevalence rate and positive predictive value (PPV) of programme adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.A total 8966 voluntary students aged 13-15 years old were recruited screening. Screening was done by measuring angle trunk rotation (ATR) forward bending test (FBT) using a scoliometer. ATR 5 degrees or more considered positive. Positively screened had standard radiographs...
To evaluate the short-term clinical and functional outcomes of total hip arthroplasty performed for physiologically active elderly patients with Garden type-3 or -4 femoral neck fracture.Records 47 consecutive (40 female, 7 male) fracture (Garden classification) who underwent cemented at our hospital during January 1999 to December 2002 were reviewed. Radiological (Harris score Oxford score) assessments 38 measured a mean follow-up period 21 months (range, 4-48 months).The age was 75 years...
