To evaluate root development after forced eruption of impacted maxillary canines before or complete the contralateral canine. A total 50 patients (21 male, 29 female; mean age: 12.4 years) with unilateral impaction were classified to "Immature group" incomplete canine "Mature Volume, length, crown and root/crown ratio (R/C) measured in posttreatment cone-beam computed tomography images. In immature group, length 0.68 mm 0.51 shorter than canines, respectively (P < .05). mature volume, R/C...

Limited information is available regarding the characteristics of delaminated rotator cuff tears as compared with nondelaminated tears. Furthermore, there conflicting effects delamination on anatomic healing repaired cuffs.To evaluate and outcomes in comparison to determine whether a negative prognostic factor affecting repair outcomes.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.Between 2010 2014, 1043 patients were enrolled study assess prevalence delamination. Among them, findings from 531 who...

Information regarding the progression of high-grade partial thickness rotator cuff tears (PTRCTs) is scarce. We aimed to assess clinical outcome and conversion rate full in patients with PTRCTs who underwent nonoperative treatment determine factors associated tear progression.A total 52 PTRCTs, which were detected by magnetic resonance imaging or ultrasonography (USG), treated conservatively between 2010 2017. They followed up USG at 6- 12-month intervals for a mean 34 months (range, 12-105...

This study is to identify the characteristics of BMD and related clinical consequences through a nationwide, consecutive, cross-sectional study.A total 1,281 postmenopausal women was enrolled nationwide underwent measurement for using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry.Following T-spine L-spine plane radiography, they were evaluated vertebral fracture by semi-quantitative method Genant's method.Relationship between osteoporotic degree deformity in fracture, treatment history osteoporosis EQ-5D...

The aim of this study was to evaluate clinical experience with arthroscopic debridement for septic arthritis the shoulder joint and report on our patient outcomes.The retrospective analysis included 36 shoulders (male:female, 15:21), contributed by 35 patients (mean age, 63.8 years) treated arthroscopy between November 2003 February 2016. mean follow-up period 14.3 months (range, 12-33 months). An additional posterolateral portal a 70º arthroscope used access posteroinferior glenohumeral...

Background: Preventive measures need to be implemented lower the incidence of osteoporotic fractures.Osteoporotic fractures increase morbidity and mortality as well impose a socioeconomic burden; however, current research is limited administration rates osteoporosis drugs for Korean postmenopausal females. Methods:This study represents nationwide, observational, cross-sectional survey that investigates based upon bone mineral density (BMD) test performed on patients who visited outpatient...

To assess the progression of clinical symptoms and disease course calcific tendinitis in hip region according to types calcification.Among patients with pain, 28 (21 males 7 females; mean age 51 years, range 32-74 years) showing calcified lesions simple radiography without other possible sources pain were analyzed retrospectively. Twelve displayed a symptom duration less than three weeks (acute; average=1±0.9 week) 16 greater (chronic; average=21.0±19.5 weeks). Lesions classified as nodular...

Bone marrow edema syndrome (BMES) is a rare condition which mainly affects the hip area. The etiology and pathogenesis of BMES still unclear. Pain near affected area, regional osteoporosis, bone (identified using magnetic resonance imaging) spontaneous regression within 6-12 months are main characteristics BMES. In this case, 52-year-old male was diagnosed with right followed by subsiding symptoms. After 3 years, under nearly same social physical conditions, he admitted again newly developed...

Abstract Background The role of altered joint mechanics on cartilage degeneration in vivo models has not been studied successfully due to a lack pre-injury information. We aimed 1) develop an accurate canine model measure the changes loading and T2 star (T2*) relaxation time before after unilateral supraspinatus tendon resections, 2) find relationship between regional variations articular patterns T2* distributions. Methods Rigid markers were implanted scapula humerus tested dogs. movement...

Humeral shaft fracture sustaining arm wrestling is rare, but occurs intermittently. We treated 15 cases of humeral spiral fractures occurred during for fun since 2007. Average age was 22.47±2.69 years, average body mass index 22.67±2.06 kg/m2. There no prominent tendency the to occur at a certain phase match. Fractured level and length each case were measured in plain radiographs compared with those previous reports. Eight (53.3%) had an associating medial butterfly fragment, time taken...

Objectives: To analyze the influence of fracture patterns and result bone mineral density on cement leakage after percutaneous vertebroplasty for osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures. Summary Literature Review: Leakage has known to be related with direction cortical disruption fractured body low (BMD). Materials Methods: One hundred eighty-two patients compressions were studied from January 2009 August 2013. The patients’ levels compared. Among them, analyzed in 105 who had undergone...

This study was conducted to evaluate the diagnostic utility of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for patients having problems confined cross-legged posture. The subjects were 128 cases (male 87.5%) and 120 from October 2008 June 2013. Average age male 50 years old (range, 21−72 old), female 45 18−76 old). rate positive MRI findings compared according abnormal physical findings. average duration symptoms 11.7 months. most frequent complains on back (41.9% at rest, 57% when taking posture)....

As an emergency encountered in orthopedic practice requiring prompt diagnosis and aggressive treatment, necrotizing fasciitis around the hip must be discriminated from Fournier gangrene. The current case report describes a patient who suffered bilateral type I hips, which was alleviated by surgical debridement intensive postoperative care.
