Total hip arthroplasty is an increasingly common procedure used to address degenerative changes in the hip joint due to osteoarthritis. Although generally associated with good results, among the challenges associated with hip arthroplasty are accurate measurement of biomechanical parameters such as leg length, offset, and cup position, discrepancies of which can lead to significant long-term co...

sex determination is the first step in identification of dead body and hip bone or its components are reliable in sex discrimination. the present study was done to determine the applicability of some osteometric parameters of human hip bone in sex identification. sixteen different variables for the anterior border of 50 human hip bones from a skeletal collection were studied. statistically sign...

Chamfer distances are discrete distances based on the propagation of local distances, or weights, defined in a mask. The medial axis, i.e. the centers of maximal balls (balls which are not contained in any other ball), is a powerful tool for shape representation and analysis. The extraction of maximal disks is performed in the general case by testing the inclusion of a ball in a local neighborh...

In 1895 Trendelenburg described his sign to determine the integrity of hip function. We found the sign to be positive in a patient whose hip was clinically and radiologically normal, and therefore investigated this in other patients. We confirmed that a medial shift of the mechanical axis of the leg below the hip may cause a positive Trendelenburg sign. This has not been previously described.

OBJECTIVES This study examines the relationship between the morphology of the lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LTV) and asymmetrical development of the hip joints in dogs. METHODS A total of 4000 dogs which had been consecutively scored for canine hip dysplasia were checked for the presence of a LTV. A LTV was noted in 138 dogs and classified depending on the morphology of the transverse pr...

background: exercise and consumption of green tea affect the aging process. however, the effect of exercise training combined with green tea extract on leukocyte telomere length, quality of life (qol) and body composition in aging has so far been unclear and inconsistent. objective: the aim of the present study was to determine the effectiveness of aerobic training intervention and green tea ex...

Looking at the changes in the rig plan over the last decade or so, the oar has been lengthened and extended inboard by 11/2 inches, the rigger extended 2", the gate/fulcrum moved forward 1" and the slide extended by 6" or more. To maintain the oar at a 450 catch to the boat with full body compression has reduced the forward lean from the hips by 60%, or the need to twist from the anterior axis ...

Limb-length discrepancy following total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often cited as a reason for patient dissatisfaction and for hip instability. Various intraoperative techniques have been described to help restore normal limb length after THA. The purpose of this study was to assess whether a computer-navigated surgical technique would help restore limb-length equality following THA.A retrospect...
