Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the topographic anatomy tibial nerve and its medial calcaneal branches in relation tip malleolus posterior superior tuberosity using ultrasound examination verify preoperative usefulness surgical treatment. Materials methods: Bilateral performed on 30 volunteers location bifurcation origin were measured. Medial analysed reference amount thei...

We present a case of avulsion of a large fragment of the ischial tuberosity in an elderly lady, caused by an extreme abduction of the hip. To our knowledge such an injury has not yet been described in the elderly. The decision to operate was based on the reported experience with this injury in young individuals. We assumed that the same indications applied, while also taking into account the kn...

BACKGROUND Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a traction apophysitis of the tibial tuberosity. Ultrasonography (US) is able to detect pathologic changes, such as cartilage swelling and fragmentation of the tibial tubercle ossification center. PURPOSE To compare the US stages of tibial tuberosity development and the physical features and prevalence of OSD in this patient cohort. STUDY DESIGN ...

Aim: To develop a method for closure of the arthrotomy wound and approximation of the medial periosteum at the level of tibial tuberosity after total knee arthroplasty in severe varus deformity. Method: We describe a technique of osteotendinous suturing through the tibial tuberosity for suturing of the medially elevated periosteum. Result: This is an easily reproducible technique which results ...

In the year 1872, Duplay described a disease of the shoulder characterized by restriction of the movements in the shoulder-joint and by pains over the greater tuberosity of the humerus. The diagnosis of this disease was rather uncertain, as it was often mistaken for muscular rheumatism or incipient arthritis. The introduction of x-rays facilitated the differential diagnosis of this disease, as ...

Purpose: The ischial tuberosity, referred to as the “sit bone” by patients with pain when sitting, is surrounded by critical nerves. Depending upon how a person places weight on the ischial tuberosity, symptoms can vary from pudendal nerve symptoms, to sciatica, or to posterior femoral cutaneous nerve (PFCN) symptoms. This research relates, for the first time, the involvement of the PFCN, inclu...

Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a condition in which the patellar tendon insertion on the tibial tuberosity becomes inflamed. It is a well-known condition in late childhood characterized by pain and a bony prominence over the tibial tuberosity. Usually, it resolves at the end stages of skeletal growth. Boys are affected more often than girls, and the age of affection is typically in the secon...

Osgood-Schlatter Disease (OSD) is a painful, growth-related overuse condition of the tibial tuberosity, leading to inflammation of the patellar ligament at the tibial tuberosity. It primarily affects young adolescents, athletic population, and usually, resolves with age or skeletal maturity. Therapy is usually conservative, with surgery indicated in a minority of cases. For patients with treatm...
