The etymology of anatomical terminology provides insight into the history anatomy, medicine, and scientific understanding. Therefore, this study assessed language 7th century Codex Amiatinus, earliest surviving most reliable copy Saint Jerome’s original 4th Latin Vulgate translation Bible, for details regarding injury Jacob as described in Book Genesis 32:22-32. Amiatinus notes that sustained a...

The impact of traumatic spinal cord injury on structural integrity, cortical reorganization and ensuing disability is variable and may depend on a dynamic interaction between the severity of local damage and the capacity of the brain for plastic reorganization. We investigated trauma-induced anatomical changes in the spinal cord and brain, and explored their relationship to functional changes i...

Internal tibial rotation with the knee close to full extension combined with valgus collapse during drop landing generally results in non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between internal rotation of the knee and muscle activity from internal and external rotator muscles, and between the internal rotation of knee and ...

Background: The tibial plateau fracture rates among the top 10 intra-articular fractures in terms of frequency. Due to extreme displacement bony fragments, accompanying depression and impaction cancellous subchondral bone, unavoidable cartilage injury, patterns are extremely complex difficult manage. Objective: study amid figure out distribution Radiological measurement Schatzker type II Tibial...

BACKGROUND While body mass index (BMI), a modifiable parameter, and knee morphology, a nonmodifiable parameter, have been identified as risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, the interaction between them remains unknown. An understanding of this interaction is important because greater compressive axial force (perhaps due to greater BMI) applied to a knee that is already at ...

This study aims to investigate the effect of early and delayed injury minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis on the treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal comminuted fracture. This study involved 90 patients with distal tibial metaphyseal comminuted fractures for treatment of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis between February 2012 and October 2014 in our hospita...

OBJECTIVE Clinicians may obtain false-negative Lachman tests for tibial displacement when the trunk position of the athlete varies as the anterior cruciate ligament injury is assessed on the field, on the sideline, and in the clinic. We examined the influence of supine, semireclined, and sitting trunk positions on arthrometric laxity measurements of the knee. DESIGN AND SETTING Subjects in th...

Marginal fractures of the medial tibial plateau have been reported in the literature as a secondary type of Segond fracture. Some reports described this entity in the setting of combined injuries such as root avulsions of the medial meniscus, complete disruption of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), and tears of the medial meniscus and m...
