BACKGROUND We tried to compare the functional and psychosocial outcomes after various reconstruction methods according to tumor location following resection of osteosarcoma in distal femur. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 51 patients who underwent limb-salvage surgery of osteosarcoma in distal femur in our institution, 30 males and 21 females with an average age of 21 years (range 13-51 y...

Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continues to be very effective in providing pain relief and improved function since the early 1970s when Insall and Coventry introduced the total condylar prosthesis. In this timeframe, the number of primary total knee replacements performed in the United States outside from Federal Hospitals reached 719,000 in 2010 [1]. If the number of TKA performed continues to ...

In limbs affected by poliomyelitis, total knee arthroplasty results in satisfactory pain relief. However, the risk of failure is high, especially if the preoperative quadriceps power is low. Therefore, treating osteoarthritis in the current patient represented a challenging procedure. A 66-year-old man presented with tricompartmental osteoarthritis of both knees, with valgus deformity of 14° on...

Abstract Background Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) is a well-established procedure for addressing recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) in young patients. However, despite being promising RPD with genu valgum, there scarcity of reports on simultaneous MPFLR and closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy (CWDFO). The purpose the present study was to observe analyse clinical ima...

background: the superiority of either of body mass index (bmi), waist circumference (wc), waist-to-hip ratio (whr) and waist-to-height ratio (whtr) for prediction of metabolic syndrome (mets) is remained controversial in asian population. the objective of this study was to compare the discriminative capacity of either of these measures in prediction of non-adipose components of mets. methods: i...
