Although the promotional effects on bone healing of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) have beenwell demonstrated, the effects of static magnetic fields (SMF) remained unclear. In this study, effects of acustom-made magnetic wrap on radiographic and histopathological aspects of bone healing using a canineunstable osteotomy gap model were investigated. After an osteotomy of the midshaft radius...

We report an unusual case of ischiofemoral impingement secondary to valgus intertrochanteric osteotomy. The osteotomy was performed for treatment of epiphysiolysis of the left femoral head.

BACKGROUND Implants for fracture and/or osteotomy fixation are often tested according to basic mechanical test models such as open gap tests or 4-point-bending tests. These may be suitable to test and compare different implants for safety and clinical approval, but are not always representative of the post-operative situation, which is decisive when it comes to bone healing. In the current stud...

ABSTRACT Repeated sagittal split osteotomy might impose an increased risk for damage of the inferior alveolar nerve. Another contemporary orthognathic issue is surgical management malocclusion following condylar resorption. Here we describe a modified C-osteotomy technique as proposed solution these difficulties in surgery. The induce less stress on condyles reducing relapse subsequent to resor...

The orthopaedic surgeon who performs opening-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) has to be aware of the behavior slope depending on variations in location hinge and inclination osteotomy. most important point is that changing both rotation axis cut affects slope. There a natural trend unintentionally increase when performing an HTO. However, increased been established as risk factor for primary r...

BACKGROUND True 3D reconstruction of coronary arteries in patients based on intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) may be achieved by fusing angiographic and IVUS information (ANGUS). The clinical applicability of ANGUS was tested, and its accuracy was evaluated quantitatively. METHODS AND REUSLTS: In 16 patients who were investigated 6 months after stent implantation, a sheath-based catheter was used...

OBJECTIVES Numerous complications following total knee replacement (TKR) relate to the patellofemoral (PF) joint, including pain and patellar maltracking, yet the options for in vivo imaging of the PF joint are limited, especially after TKR. We propose a novel sequential biplane radiological method that permits accurate tracking of the PF and tibiofemoral (TF) joints throughout the range of mov...

PURPOSE Left atrial volume is an important predictor of future arrhythmias, and it can be assessed by several different methods. Simpson's method is well accepted as a reference standard, although no standardization exists for cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR). We aimed to compare the estimations of left atrial volumes obtained by the Simpson's method with three other methods. MATERIALS AND ME...

Graft failure or progressive native vessel disease can be a serious problem after coronary artery bypass grafting. However, because of poor image quality it may be difficult to evaluate these patients by transthoracic stress echocardiography. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to evaluate the effectiveness of dobutamine stress echocardiography in the detection of myocardial territories w...

PURPOSE To measure preoperative hip flexion under general anaesthesia in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip and analyse its correlation with leg-length change. METHODS 79 women and 6 men aged 27 to 82 (mean, 59) years underwent 92 total hip arthroplasties for severe developmental dysplasia of the hip of Crowe types II (n=60), III (n=17), and IV (n=15). All such patients had seve...
