The measurement of the medial longitudinal arch (MLA) foot is a controversial issue in orthopedics. Several methods have been developed to define and determine MLA, but none them are universally accepted. purpose this study was compare some statically obtained radiographic angles with dynamic plantar pressure distribution system for evaluation MLA healthy individuals.A total 95 subjects (72 females, 23 males; mean age 37.8 years; range 11 85 years) were retrospectively evaluated. All...

Background/Objectives: Delayed diagnosis in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is associated with significant health consequences. We hypothesize that musculoskeletal (MSK) surgery rates may be higher during the diagnostic delay period. This study aimed to compare frequency of MSK surgeries PsA patients period post-diagnosis. Methods: retrospective cohort included who fulfilled CASPAR criteria and were followed up our outpatient clinic. fulfilling outpa-tient clinic included. The pre-diagnosis...

Case series.To define radiologic diagnosis and treatment strategies of rib dislocation to prevent serious complications during deformity surgery.Rib into the spinal canal caused by dystrophic changes seen in scoliotic patients with neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF-1) may cause severe when neglected. The risk this complication is increased modern instrumentation techniques that produce greater correction.Three neurologically intact scoliosis on whom dislocations were determined convex side apical...

This study included 92 patients with an accessory navicular (AN) noted on anteroposterior roentgenography. group was selected from 860 admitted to the authors' gait analysis laboratory. The medial longitudinal arch evaluated by using "arch index" calculated pressure picture obtained a distribution measurement system. average index 0.15 and there no significant correlation between AN types index. concluded that presence type of are not correlated height foot is associated pes planus.

Abstract Background An association between adolescent idiopathic scoliosis and osteopenia has been proposed to exist. It is still not clear whether there such an if so, a causative factor or consequence. Our previous pilot studies have suggested the presence of in scoliotic animals. The aim this study was investigate development unpinealectomized bipedal osteopenic rat model, implementing osteoporosis as factor. Methods Fifty Sprague-Dawley rats were rendered at 3 rd postnatal week separated...

We studied the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and zoledronic acid (ZA) on posterior lumbar fusion using a validated animal model. A total 40 New Zealand white rabbits underwent at L5-6 with autogenous iliac bone grafting. They were divided randomly into four groups as follows: group 1, control; 2, HBO (2.4 atm for two hours daily); 3, local ZA (20 μg mixed graft); 4, combined ZA. All animals killed six weeks after surgery segments subjected to radiological analysis, manual palpation,...

Large bearing metal-on-metal (MOM) total hip arthroplasty (THA) may offer advantages relating to stability and range of motion in patients with Crowe Type I II developmental dysplasia the (DDH). The purpose this study was provide an analysis clinical radiological results MOM THA context compare a cohort treated metal-on-polyethylene (MOP) surfaces. 75 hips 65 were cementless using large femoral heads (36-56 mm). mean age 47.4 years (29 59) 54 female. A group 47 (41 patients) conventional...

This study aims to evaluate the indirect impact of novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic on diabetes-related lower extremity amputations.Patients who underwent limb amputation due complications diabetes between August and February 2020 (control group) 2021 (pandemic were retrospectively reviewed. None patients had a previous COVID-19 infection. Patients' level latest follow-up date until recorded.A total 19 feet (14 males, 5 females; mean age: 70.0±10.5 years; range, 53 91...

A 20-year-old female presented with a painful swelling in the right knee and snapping sensation on joint motion that appeared without trauma recurred several times. She had no history of bleeding disease or trauma. Physical examination showed signs rash temperature change systemic local findings an infection. The was tender painful, 90 degrees flexion full extension. ballottement test positive. All laboratory tests including rheumatologic parameters were normal. Joint effusion analysis...

A six-year-old girl was examined upon development of pain, swelling, and locking in her right knee after a considerable period discomfort popping sensation. She had no history trauma. Magnetic resonance imaging showed discoid lateral meniscus, filling the entire plateau exhibiting signs degeneration. On arthroscopic examination, bucket-handle tear meniscus noted patient treated with subtotal meniscectomy. During first month follow-up, full range motion normal gait. At three years, she...

The aim of the study was to investigate whether clavicular symmetry a valid assumption and assess factors that could predict asymmetry.Between January 2021 April 2021, total 100 consecutive patients (61 males, 39 females; mean age: 63.6±15.5 years; range, 27 94 years) whose both clavicles were adequately seen on chest computed tomography (CT) retrospectively analyzed. Clavicular lengths measured three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction CTs by two independent orthopedic surgeons separate...

Patients with spinal cord injury without radiographic abnormality (SCIWORA) are prone to develop deformities. The purpose of this study is report on the clinical and radiological features post-SCIWORA deformities.Four patients SCIWORA deformities requiring surgery were analyzed clinically radiographically.All four developed progressive neuromuscular scoliosis. There 2 males females. mean age at was 3.9 years (range 6 months 7 years). Spinal deformity first noticed a 17 after their initial 9...

To evaluate the viability and integrity of fresh frozen bulk femoral head allografts obtained from institutional bone bank that were used to reconstruct severe acetabular defects validate SPECT/CT method which gives both anatomical functional data for this purpose.We retrospectively reviewed 9 patients (6 female, 3 male; mean age 63.6 years).
