Established prognostic factors influencing survival in soft tissue sarcomas include tumor stage, histopathologic grade, size, depth, and anatomic site. The presence of near or at the margin resection increases risk local recurrence but whether a positive surgical affect overall is controversial.We explored impact microscopic on recurrence, metastasis, patients with intermediate- to high-grade extremities. We then determined decreases survival.We retrospectively reviewed medical records 248...

Background: Controversy surrounds the classification and treatment of hips with a lateral center-edge angle (LCEA) between 18° 25°. It remains undetermined as to whether periacetabular osteotomy (PAO) or arthroscopic surgery is best used treat this patient population. Hypothesis: Patients hip pain mild borderline acetabular dysplasia defined by an LCEA 25° have different features femoral morphology, determined other relevant radiographic measures assessing anterior posterior walls, coverage...

Abstract Background The time-consuming and user-dependent postprocessing of biochemical cartilage MRI has limited the use delayed gadolinium-enhanced (dGEMRIC). An automated analysis three-dimensional (3-D) images could deliver a more time-efficient objective evaluation composition, provide comprehensive information about thickness, surface area, volume compared with manual two-dimensional (2-D) analysis. Questions/purposes (1) How does 3-D thickness dGEMRIC index using both new method...

Despite early medical intervention, children with hypophosphatemic rickets often have progressive deformities in the lower extremities. With forces imparted by gravity and weight bearing, varus or valgus that might otherwise been physiological are likely to progress, causing gait disturbance pain. Proper management is important may theoretically slow prevent progression of valgus, but ineffective at correcting deformity once established. We reviewed literature gathered a series 10 patients,...
