BACKGROUND The application time of therapeutic ultrasound is an infrequently studied dosimetric variable that affects tissue repair. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of different treatment times of therapeutic ultrasound (US) on the organization of collagen fibers in the tendons of rats. METHOD Forty Wistar rats were selected (300±45 g), and the rats were divided...

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune and inflammatory disease that potentially attacks all parts of the human body. Despite use disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), rate total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remains high. Critical complications such as infection, dislocation, readmission following TKA are also reportedly high therefore, appropriate management during periop...

The trial was designed to compare the atrophies occurring after open surgical tenotomy and percutaneous tenotomy using the experimental model that we established. Fourty Ross-800 hybrid chickens were divided into two equal groups. The first and the second group underwent open surgical tenotomy and percutaneous tenotomy of the Achilles tendon, respectively. The animals were sacrificed after eigh...

The influence of work-induced hypertrophy on the myosin of skeletal muscle was studied. Unilateral tenotomy of the gastrocnemius muscle (single tenotomy procedure) in normal rats led to rapid compensatory growth of the synergistic plantaris and soleus muscles. Total myosin increased with hypertrophy. The myosin from these hypertrophied muscles, however, was enzymatically and structurally identi...

Two companion papers used wavelet and dynamical systems analyses in an attempt to show that the new four-muscle tenotomy surgical procedure had little or no effect on either the ‘‘waveform structure’’ or the ‘‘underlying mechanism’’ of congenital nystagmus (CN). (Miura, Hertle, FitzGibbon, & Optican, 2003a; Miura, Hertle, FitzGibbon, & Optican, 2003b) We believe these papers (Parts I and II) as...

PURPOSE The mini-tenotomy is a novel minimally invasive surgical technique that weakens rectus muscles to treat small-angle strabismus. The mini-tenotomy is an alternative to the standard rectus muscle recession that requires hooking the muscle, suturing the muscle, removing the muscle from sclera, and reattaching the muscle to sclera. METHODS This is a retrospective chart review of outcomes ...

The effect of tenotomy on the regeneration of anterior tibial muscle was studied in Wistar rats. Regeneration was induced by intramuscular injection of a local anesthetic, and tenotomy was performed at varying intervals post-injection. Muscles were examined using light and electron microscopy 30 days after sectioning the tendon. Results showed that tenotomy failed to prevent new muscle fibers f...

We have modified the Ponseti casting technique by using a below-knee Softcast instead of an above-knee plaster of Paris cast. Treatment was initiated as soon as possible after birth and the Pirani score was recorded at each visit. Following the manipulation techniques of Ponseti, a below-knee Softcast was applied directly over a stockinette for a snug fit and particular attention was paid to cr...
