OBJECTIVES To describe how the anatomy of the cervicothoracic vertebrae predicates the appropriate fluoroscopic views for confirming safe needle placement during the performance of interlaminar cervical epidural injections. METHODS AND RESULTS Illustrations, cadaver models, and radiographic images were correlated and used to illustrate and derive a mathematical model to demonstrate the utilit...

conclusions the os trigonum syndrome should take in consideration in elderly subject who had posterior ankle pain starting after a car accident. case presentation a 62-year-old female patient was admitted with load depended ankle pain and swelling, lasting for five years which promptly started after a car accident. we incidentally discovered os trigonum on plain radiography on a lateral view of...

Human thought is a remarkable evolutionary achievement and one of our species’ defining abilities. It has been closely linked to the prefrontal cortex (PFC) by converging evidence from a wide range of disciplines, from phylogenetic and ontogenetic development, to patient studies and single-cell recordings, to modern neuroimaging. Here I review work on the links between the lateral PFC and two d...

BACKGROUND Visual behavior is known to be atypical in Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). Monitor-based eye-tracking studies have measured several of these atypicalities in individuals with Autism. While atypical behaviors are known to be accentuated during natural interactions, few studies have been made on gaze behavior in natural interactions. In this study we focused on i) whether the findings...

OBJECTIVE To describe and clinically and radiographically compare patients who underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) with all-polyethylene (ALP) and metal-backed (MTB) tibial implants. METHODS Patients who underwent TKA between January 1988 and December 2004 were grouped according to the type of implant received: all-polyethylene or metal-backed. Sixty patients came for evaluations, totalin...

The Multicenter ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) Revision Study (MARS) group was developed to investigate revision ACL reconstruction outcomes. An important part of this is obtaining and reviewing radiographic studies. The goal for this radiographic analysis is to establish radiographic findings for a large revision ACL cohort to allow comparison with future studies. The study was designed as a...

a 5-year history of persistent left hip pain, which had been constant in nature over the last several months with increased severity after high activity and sitting for long periods. The pain was always present in the groin area, and would occasionally radiate to the knee. There was no history of hip disorders or other joint problems. The patient had no other significant problems or complaints....
