OBJECTIVES The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of the central (transpatellar tendon) portal technique for the treatment of isolated medial bucket-handle type meniscal tears with the arthroscopic menisectomy procedure. PATIENTS AND METHODS In this study, fifty patients with isolated medial bucket-handle type meniscal tears were evaluated. They were divided into two groups with 25...

Background: There are a number of different factors that are thought to play a role in patellar instability, including injuries to the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL), trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, and an increased tibial tuberosity-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance. Objective: To use MRI to assess injury patterns to the MPFL, trochlear dysplasia, patellar height, and TT-TG distance ...

Aim: This study aims to investigate the length, width and thickness of patellar tendon type length patella with MRI reveal normal values ​​of morphology specific Turkish population.
 Material Method: The was conducted 348 individuals (137 males, 211 females) who applied our hospital, had no anterior knee pathology, MRIs. proximal distal tendon, type, prepatellar infrapatellar fat pad signa...

Figure 1. Lateral knee radiograph showing patella alta. A 68-year-old male presented to the emergency department with anterior right knee pain after falling at home and directly hitting his patella on the stepladder edge while he was going upstairs. Physical examination revealed infrapatellar region painful swelling and impaired knee extension. Knee radiographs showed no fracture; however, the ...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to assess the clinical and radiological results of patients who underwent patellar retention or resurfacing for moderate or severe patellar articular defects during total knee arthroplasty and evaluate the clinical efficacy of patellar resurfacing according to the articular defect of the patella. MATERIALS AND METHODS From May 2003 to March 2006, 252 patie...

We construct 16 reflection groups Γ acting on symmetric domains $\mathcal {D}$ of Cartan type IV, for which the graded algebras modular forms are freely generated by same weight, and in particular Satake-Baily-Borel compactification {D}/ {\Gamma }$ is isomorphic to a projective space. Four these previously known results Freitag-Salvati Manni, Matsumoto, Perna Runge. In addition we find several ...

We present a new proof that O2 is a multiple context-free language. It contrasts with a recent proof by Salvati (2015) in its avoidance of concepts that seem specific to two-dimensional geometry, such as the complex exponential function. Our simple proof creates realistic prospects of widening the results to higher dimensions. This finding is of central importance to the relation between extrem...

We give a solution to the weak Schottky problem for genus five Jacobians with vanishing theta null, answering question of Grushevsky and Salvati Manni. More precisely, we show that if principally polarized abelian variety dimension has null quadric tangent cone rank at most three, then it is in Jacobian locus, up extra irreducible components. employ degeneration argument, together study ramific...

Introduction: Trochanteric fractures are among the most common injuries necessitating hospital admission. Regardless type of fracture, trochanteric can lead to substantial morbidity and mortality, especially in elderly patients. Surgery has been mainstay treatment for these allow early mobilization patient. Among surgical treatment, dynamic hip screw (DHS) as extramedullary power transmission s...
