The aim of this review article is to analyze the clinical effectiveness of total knee replacement (TKR) compared to unicompartmental knee replacement (UKR) in patients with medial unicompartmental osteoarthritis (MUO) in terms of survival rates, revision rates and postoperative complications. The search engine was MedLine. The keywords used were: medial knee osteoarthritis. Three thousand and n...

PURPOSE We assessed the influence of the medial frontal lobe on micturition after chemical stimulation. We also examined the relation between the medial frontal lobe and the rostral pontine reticular formation, which has a strong inhibitory effect on micturition. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 35 female rats underwent continuous cystometry. Bladder activity changes were examined after physi...

The medial axis transform is valuable for shape representation as it is complete and captures part structure. However, its exact computation for arbitrary 3D models is not feasible. We introduce a novel algorithm to approximate the medial axis of a polyhedron with a dense set of medial points, with a guarantee that each medial point is within a specified tolerance from the medial axis. Given th...

Knee osteoarthritis (OA) commonly occurs in the medial compartment of the knee and has been linked to overloading of the medial articular cartilage. Gait modification represents a non-invasive treatment strategy for reducing medial compartment knee force. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a variety of gait modifications that were expected to alter medial contact for...

INTRODUCTION Injuries to the medial structures of the elbow due to overhead throwing games are well documented. However, variations of medial epicondyles are not well described, especially in athletes with fused medial epicondyles. In this study, we evaluated variations in the medial epicondyle of baseball players who were aged 15-17 years and had fused epicondyles. METHODS In this cross-sect...

OBJECTIVE Currently, no published studies have compared the clinical outcomes of the medial-to-lateral approach (MA) and lateral-to-medial approach (LA) for open right hemicolectomy. Thus, the present study aimed to assess whether one of these approaches has any potential benefits over the other. METHODS A retrospective study was performed of all patients who underwent open right hemicolectom...

BACKGROUND Foot orthoses are often used to treat lower limb injuries associated with excessive pronation. There are many orthotic modifications available for this purpose, with one being the medial heel skive. However, empirical evidence for the mechanical effects of the medial heel skive modification is limited. This study aimed to evaluate the effect that different depths of medial heel skive...

the aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term outcome of treatment using kirschner wires and tensioning bands for tarsocrural luxation with malleolus fractures resulting from trauma in dogs. eight dogs with tarsocrural luxation due to malleolus fracture were selected. following intrathecal anesthesia, the malleolus bone was returned to its normal position using two kirschner wires and ten...

the purpose of the present study was to determine the role of medial prefrontal cortex (mpfc) dopaminergic system in fear conditioning response considering individual differences. animals were initially counterbalanced and classified based on open field test, and then were given a single infusion of the dopamine agonist, amphetamine (amph) and antagonist, clozapine (clz) into the medial prefron...
