objectives: the aim of this study was to extract suitable spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters to determine how total knee replacement (tkr) alters patients’ knee kinematics during gait, using a rapid and simplified quantitative two-dimensional gait analysis procedure. methods: two-dimensional kinematic gait pattern of 10 participants were collected before and after the tkr surgery, using a ...

osteoarthritis (oa) a common disease of aged population and one of the leading causes of disability. incidence of knee oa is rising by increasing average age of general population. age, weight, trauma to joint due to repetiting movements in particular squatting and kneeling are common risk factors of knee oa. several factors including cytokines, leptin, and mechanical forces are pathogenic fact...

Abstract Subcutaneous emphysema is a common entity following facial trauma. However, pneumomediastinum secondary to isolated fractures rare and potentially life-threatening complication. We present case of 26-year-old female that presented with sudden onset left sided swelling over the periorbital zygomaticomaxillary region some bruising overlying maxilla. In addition palpable crepitus was temp...

introduction: there are differences in the pattern of the knee joint formation of the studied species. according to the small number of studies which focused chronologically on the avian knee histomorphogenetic events, its “morphogenetic pattern” is hard to be proposed. the present work was designed to identify the sequential events of the knee formation in the partridge embryo. regarding to di...

conclusions significant improvement was noted at womac scale (pain level; 5 points, stiffness level; 2 points, physical function loss; 15 points, and total womac 22 points). osteoarthritis level of the patient was improved to grade i at radiological evaluation after a year. our case is the report that presents radiological evidence in addition to clinical findings of improvement of osteoarthrit...

Osteochondritis dissecans affecting a single joint has been widely studied since the term was first introduced by Konig in 1887. Multiple lesions are comparatively uncommon ; those most often reported are lesions of both medial femoral condyles (Hermanson 1946, King 1932). Other combinations reported are : the medial femoral condyle and opposite patella (Archer and Peterson 1930) ; both patella...

background: the aim of this study is evaluation of the validity and reliability of the persian version of knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score (koos) in patients with isolated meniscus injury. materials and methods: one hundred people with isolated meniscal injury (29 females and 71 males with a mean age ± standard deviation [sd] = 32.37 ± 9.97 years) and ?fty normal people with no knee...

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common procedure that has become increasingly prevalent in younger patient population. With improvements prostheses and materials, the survivorship of implants increased. Historically, excellent wear characteristics ceramic-on-ceramic (CoC) made them an appealing choice compared to other bearing options. Yet, potential benefits longevity related have been comba...
