BACKGROUND Unstable slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) has a relatively high risk of avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Standard treatment for unstable SCFE is still controversial. We reviewed unstable SCFE case series treated with the standardized protocol, which consisted of percutaneous pinning after prolonged skeletal traction. METHODS Our treatment regimen for unstable SCFE pa...

Background: Proximal femoral nailing in communited intertrochanteric fractures is increasingly becoming popular in view of superior biomechanics and prevention of varus collapse associated with Dynamic hip screw. However, technical difficulties and implant related complications have been described with this technique, thus we need more studies to address these issues. Our study aims to understa...

INTRODUCTION Several clinical and radiological techniques have been described to assess lower limb length and angle measurements. None of them has yet met the ideal criteria for a reliable, reproducible, safe, and inexpensive system. In this context, a new biplanar X-ray system (EOS™, EOS imaging, Paris, France) makes it possible to obtain a 3D reconstruction of the lower extremities from two 2...

The double-blade half-rotating impeller tidal turbine (DHITT) is a new type of vertical shaft current with lift and resistance performance. power coefficient the DHITT affected by flow direction. In order to research ( C P ) under different direction, optimal attack angle half-impeller was explored, fluctuation operating at yaw analyzed based on angle. unsteady simulated overlapping grid techni...

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence and clinical presentation of coxa vara in 283 patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The charts and X-rays of 150 girls and 133 boys with OI were reviewed. The patients were classified according to the Sillence classification modified by Glorieux: 94 type I, 90 type IV, 67 type III, 18 type V, 10 type VI, and 4 type VII. The mean age...

Pressure-grouted helical pile (PGHP) is an innovative piling system that allows a significant increase in capacity with relatively low additional cost. The constructed by applying pressurized grout during the installation of conventional piles. injected into ground through two nozzles welded to hollow shaft. This paper presents comprehensive laboratory study investigate effect three different n...

PURPOSE A late finding of some hips treated for developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a growth disturbance of the lateral proximal femoral physis, which results in caput valgum and possibly osteoarthritis. Current treatment options include complete epiphysiodesis of the proximal femoral physis or a corrective proximal femoral osteotomy. Alternatively, a transphyseal screw through the infe...

PURPOSE To evaluate needle visibility in ultrasound under contrast mode conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS Needle visibility was evaluated for bevel, EchoTip ® and shaft of 18G Chiba biopsy needle with a 9 MHz linear probe (GE Logiq E9). Insertion angles varied between 30°(steep) and 90°(parallel to the probe surface). The acoustic output varied from 5-28%. 2 different contrast mode presets wi...
