BACKGROUND Sacroiliac intraarticular injection by the traditional technique can be challenging to perform when the joint is covered with osteophytes or is extremely narrow. OBJECTIVE To examine whether there is enough space for the needle to be advanced from the L5-S1 interspinous space to the upper one-third sacroiliac joint (SIJ) by magnetic resonance image (MRI) analysis as an alternative ...

The orthopaedic literature on hip joint preservation continues to grow at a rapid pace. To address the complexity of remaining updates on its practices, the authors consolidated evidence-based medicine and expert opinion in the textbook Hip Joint Restoration (SPRINGER, 2017, $249 Hardcover, $189 eBook, 978-1-4614-0694-5). Hip Joint Restoration is a comprehensive and multidimensional text that g...

introduction osteochondritis is a joint condition in which bone underneath the cartilage of a joint destroys due to lack of blood flow. then bone and cartilage can break, causing pain and sometimes affecting joint motion and skin around the involved joint might be swollen and tender. osteochondritis occurs most commonly in the knee, but also occurs in elbows, ankles and other joints. decreased ...

Periprosthetic joint infection continues to frustrate the medical community. Although the demand for total joint arthroplasty is increasing, the burden of such infections is increasing even more rapidly, and they pose a unique challenge because their accurate diagnosis and eradication can prove elusive. This review describes the current knowledge regarding diagnosis and treatment of periprosthe...

BACKGROUND: There is little information about blood supply of the carpal joint in one- humped camel, while there is extensive data about cow and equine species. In order to perform surgeries and diagnostic techniques in carpal region, information about the elements of the joint such as its arteries is necessary. OBJECTIVES: This study aims at describing the origins, arrangements, and branches o...

PURPOSE The objective of this investigation was to determine the effect of continuous cryotherapy on glenohumeral joint and subacromial space temperatures in the postoperative shoulder. TYPE OF STUDY Prospective, randomized, and controlled clinical trial. METHODS Twenty patients (10 cryotherapy, 10 controls) with a full-thickness rotator cuff repair were monitored with temperature sensors i...

Simulation tests discussed in the article involved structural steel S1100QL having a yield point of more than 900 MPa. The simulations included single (Tmax = 1250°C) and double welding thermal cycle 1250°C + 600°C, Tmax 760°C 900°C) as well cooling times t8/5 3, 5 10 s. Specimens with simulated heat affected zone (HAZ) were subjected to impact strength performed at temperature -40°C +20°C, Vic...

A diagonal equation _ + C( ; )= for robot dynamics is developed by combining recent mass matrix factorization results [1{7] with classical Lagrangian mechanics. Diagonalization implies that at each xed time instant the equation at each joint is decoupled from all of the other joint equations. The equation involves two important variables: a vector of total joint rotational rates and a correspon...
