To investigate the effect of femoral maltorsion on both patellofemoral and tibiofemoral contact pressures. Experimental biomechanical study 10 embalmed human cadaveric knees (mean age 40.2 years ± 9.5). Krackow sutures were placed in vastus medialis, lateralis, rectus femoris, intermedius hamstrings. A custom-made test apparatus capable independently loading quadriceps hamstring muscle groups providing ground reaction forces during a simulated squat maneuver under direct axial compression...

Compare the differences in morphology of ACL femoral footprint between cadavers young and elderly consideration degenerative physiological process that occurs with aging.The was dissected 81 knees known gender age (45 male/36 female). They were divided into four groups by gender, establishing 50 years as cut-off point to divide patients age. Three observers analyzed dissections, shapes described classified. The area morphometric characteristics insertion determined these compared genders...

Previous biomechanical studies of the meniscotibial ligament have determined that it contributes to meniscal stability. An injury can cause meniscus extrude, and reconstruction significantly reduces extrusion.To assess effects sectioning lateral (LMTL) meniscofibular (MFL) with respect radial mobility evaluate capsulodesis centralization techniques.Controlled laboratory study.The 22 porcine knees was evaluated. They were mounted on a testing apparatus apply muscle ground-reaction forces. The...

The aim of this work is to investigate in-silico the biomechanical effects a proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) on knee joint with different varus/valgus deformities progression osteoarthritis (KOA). A finite element analysis (FEA) human lower extremity consisting femoral, tibial and bones cartilage connecting them was designed. FEA performed in static standing primitive position determine contact pressure (CP) distribution location center (CoP). examined relationship between these factors...

Transpedicular spinal fusion is the most commonly used fixation technique for surgical treatment of vertebral disorders. However, instrumentation thoracic spine using this continues to be controversial. The objective present study was determine morphometric characteristics pedicle and establish how these vary with gender age. Two hundred spines (4800 pedicles) from individuals known age were analyzed (in accordance order vertebrae). divided into six groups according gender. horizontal...

Background: Brachymetatarsia is a rare foot deformity caused by the premature closure of metatarsal physis. It may result in functional as well cosmetic alterations, which require operative management. Methods: A prospective study examining outcomes 48 cases brachymetatarsia with gradual bone lengthening at rate 1 mm/d using an external fixator and metatarsophalangeal joint fixation was performed. The difference between length before treatment after removal measured. patients were assessed...
