Background: Nowadays combined high tibial osteotomy and ACL reconstruction is accepted as a safe and effectivesurgery for patients with symptomatic varus osteoarthritis and anterior knee instability; however, the source of varusdeformity is sometimes the femoral bone. No studies have reported concomitant ACL reconstruction and distal femoralosteotomy in ACL-deficient knees wit...

This paper describes a three-dimensional (3D) digital sonomicrometry approach for locating and tracking 3D objects. A commercial digital sonomicrometry system was employed to measure scalar distances between omnidirectional sonomicrometers. 3D coordinates were then derived using the statistical technique of multidimensional scaling (MDS). 3D digital sonomicrometry was directly compared with bip...

Background:   Hallux valgus deformity is a common chronic problem in middle age and elderly. Different surgical procedures have been introduced so far with their proposed indications for each. This study aimed to compare three   current procedures namely Chevron osteotomy, Scarf osteotomy and McBride technique.     Methods:   In this study, 44 patients were included from 2010 to 2013. All patie...

In this paper, a new four-dimensional (4D) hyperchaotic biplane system is designed and presented. The dynamical properties of are studied by means tools such as bifurcation diagrams, Lyapunov exponents phase diagrams. Hopf periodic solutions solved analytically. addition, control strategy applied, comparative analysis the controlled performed.

Mandibular access osteotomy allows mobilization of craniofacial skeleton and replacements of bony fragments either pedicled on their soft tissues or as free bone segments. This provides increased and direct exposure of posterior region and surrounding vital structures and avoid the need to resect uninvolved structures. Roux in 1836 suggested the division of the lower lip and mandible for improv...

BACKGROUND Clinical and radiological outcomes including fixation stability of osteotomy site were compared in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who underwent modified Ludloff osteotomy to correct hallux valgus with osteotomy site fixation using two screws versus those who underwent additional fixation using a plate. METHODS The fixation technique performed with two screws was used to fix the...

background: mal::::union:::: is the most common complication following distal radius fractures. aim of this study was to evaluate the results of distal radius corrective osteotomy and plate fixation by dorsal approach in the mal::::union::::. methods: in this retrospective study, 14 patients with neglected distal radius mal::::union:::: from 2005 to 2011 were studied. all patients were treated ...

objective: the aim of this study was to assess skeletal relapse in patients who underwent mandibular setback by bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy (bssro) and osteosynthesis wiring techniques. materials and methods: in this semi-experimental study, 10 patients (8 women, 2 men) with 3-8 millimeters overjet underwent mandibular setback with bssro, osteosynthesis wiring and inter maxillary f...

background osteotomy is one of the major steps in rhinoplasty. the aim of study was to compare edema and ecchymosis after external and internal lateral osteotomy in patients who underwent rhinoplasty. methods based on a prospective randomized clinical trial, 168 osteotomies were performed through an external route in a perforating fashion and internal route in a continuous fashion at right or l...
