Objectives: The aim of this study was to demonstrate that measuring the medial gap before bone resection during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) provides an optimum adjustment in varus knees. Methods: Patients were separated into two groups, Group 1 being those whose joint measured prior and 2 comprising who underwent conventional technique without measuring. with a custom-made device up point cor...

  In this report we describe a 78-year-old man whose total knee arthroplasty showed the symptoms of infection with brucella with radiographic signs of loosening 5 years after the index surgery. The patient was treated successfully after a 2-stage revision arthroplasty surgery along with using rifampicin and doxycycline for 8 weeks.

Limb-length discrepancy after total hip arthroplasty (THA) leads to patient dissatisfaction and can be a cause of orthopedic surgery malpractice cases. Nonsurgical and surgical techniques exist to correct limb-length discrepancies. Two limb-lengthening methods were used to correct greater than 2-cm limb-length discrepancies after THA: lengthening over a femoral nail with an external fixator and...

 Abstract  Background: In the recent decade, many primary total knee arthroplasties have  been carried out in Iran and the number of revision cases is expected to rise with the  aging population. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of revision surgery  in the country and make a comparison between the outcome of revision and that of  the primary arthroplasty.  Methods: Retrospectivel...

The shape of the flexion gap in 20 normal knees was evaluated by axial radiography of the distal femur, and the results compared with those obtained in a previous study by MRI. The observed asymmetry was reduced by 29% using radiography, with a mean value of 3.6 degrees (1.5 degrees to 6.3 degrees) compared with that obtained by MRI of 5.1 degrees (2.6 degrees to 9.5 degrees), a mean discrepanc...

BACKGROUND The most common complication of surgery for the release of temporomandibular joint (TMJ) ankylosis is relapse of the ankylosis. To prevent re-ankylosis, a variety of interpositional materials have been used. AIM The aim was to compare the surgical outcome of oral mucoperiosteal flap, not hitherto used as interpositional material, with pterygo-masseteric muscles flap after surgical ...

BACKGROUND Connective tissue autografts are commonly used as interpositional grafts between septal flaps in the repair of septal perforations. The most common graft materials used include temporalis fascia and pericranium, both of which are accompanied by donor site morbidity, do not provide septal bulk, and are exceedingly thin and difficult to manage. OBJECTIVE To study the use of an acellu...
