BACKGROUND Compression garments (CG) are commonly used by athletes to improve motor performance and recovery during or following exercise. Numerous studies have investigated the effect of CG on physiological and physical parameters with variable results as to their efficacy. A possible effect of commercially available CG may be to induce a change in leg mechanical characteristics during repetit...

Abstract T‐stubs and L‐stubs loaded in tension are generally assumed contact with a rigid foundation. The prying force stiffness of these components depend on this hypothesis. For double web angle riveted connections, the rests deformable beam/column web. objective present paper is to take into account effects deformability development area, rivet forces tensile stiffness. An enhanced theory be...

Five children with congenital pseudarthrosis of the tibia treated by free vascularised fibular grafts were followed up until skeletal maturity. The ipsilateral fibula was used in four cases, the contralateral fibula in one. All our cases achieved bone union, but leg length discrepancy, atrophy of the foot and ankle stiffness were frequent complications, due perhaps to the many previous operatio...

The history is as follows.?The patient was a middle-aged European female, just nine days over her first confinement, which was rather tedious. She stated that she had been feeling quite well up to two days ago when she noticed a dull pain and weight in the left iliac fossa accompanied with stiffness of the left leg which had till then been freely moveable and sound. The morning I was called in,...

Leg Length Discrepancy (LLD) is a critical problem which not only impacts the quality of life but also causes other physical ailments such as limping and severe back pain. Most people had non-negligible difference in length their two legs, 0.1% population with differences 20 mm or more are diagnosed limb length. The Ilizarov external fixator commonly used treating LLD conventional therapeutic e...
