conclusion of the asymptomatic patients investigated, 58% showed focal enhanced periprosthetic glucose metabolism. this finding should be taken into consideration as a more probable unspecific metabolic pattern for correct interpretation of 18f-fdg-pet studies in patients with suspected septic loosening of the hip prosthesis. results fourteen hip prostheses in 12 patients were visually analyzed...

the effect of inter-implant distance on retention and resistance of implant-tissue-supported overdentures is lacking in the literature. an in vitro study was performed to evaluate this effect for mandibular implant-tissue-supported overdentures retained by two ball attachments.an acrylic cast of an edentulous mandible was fabricated. three pairs of implants were symmetrically placed at both sid...

Case 1. A 56-year-old male farmer from Kars. Formerly classified as having lepromatous leprosy (LL). The patient was hospitalized due to a chronic plantar ulcer of 3 years duration on his right foot. The biopsy results of the ulcer showed it to be 'epidermoid carcinoma' . Results of a previous biopsy taken at Diyabakir were reported as 'epidermoid carcinoma in primary stage' . The report of fur...

Compared with active prostheses, passive compliant ankle prostheses offer the advantages of reduced energy consumption, a lighter weight, simple structure, and lower costs. However, although various commercial products are available, these designs do not provide adequate degrees freedom (DOFs) for movement. This paper presents ankle–foot prosthesis (CPAF) capable 2-DOF rotation during locomotio...

great prosthesis for reinforcement of visceral sac is a guranteed operation for unilateral or bilateral inguinal hernias in otil patients or recurrent cases. the greatest use of this technique is in the patients who are at specially high risk for recurrence. we successfully accomplished this technique in 70 cases in our hospital while the patients were countiniously under our close inspection f...

In India alone, there are about one million people with lower limb amputation who require significantly more effort to walk than able-bodied individuals. They are subject to social stigmas preventing them from employment and independent living. There is a gap between the high-performance prosthetic feet in the United States that come at a cost of thousands of dollars and affordable prostheses i...

In walking the human body is never in balance. Most of the time the trunk is supported by one leg and the centre of mass (CoM) 'falls' to the contralateral side. In dynamical situations the velocity of the CoM should be acknowledged as well in the 'extrapolated centre of mass' (XcoM). Centre of pressure (CoP) position was recorded by a treadmill with built-in force transducers. Lateral CoM and ...

Background: Limb salvaging surgeries are current surgical treatment of extremity bone sarcomas. Resected bonereplacement consists of two main methods; tumor prosthesis versus structural allograft. Biological reconstruction withan allograft is an economic cheap method in young sarcoma patients, however, the surgeons are more convinced withtumor prosthesis replacement.Methods: We evaluated the sh...
