The purpose of the study was to assess the value of ultrasonography in the diagnosis of Achilles tendon rupture, by comparing initial ultrasonographic scans and direct intraoperative findings, as well as to follow up the healing process in operatively and conservatively treated patients. Ultrasound examination was performed in 100 patients (91 males and 9 females, with mean age of 46 years) wit...

Introduction: Rotator cuff (RC) tears account for about 20% of RC disorders and presents with severe shoulder pain that can significantly impact activities daily life. Case report: A 34-year-old male a history chronic right tenderness at the lateral shoulder, positive subacromial impingement tests, painful end range motion score 6. Ultrasound shows partial supraspinatus tear bursal side. The pa...

A 41-year-old man with acute type A aortic dissection was referred. Computed tomography (CT) revealed dissection with patent false lumen from the ascending to abdominal aorta and the narrowed true lumen of the abdominal aorta. Although emergency partial aortic arch replacement was performed, no entry tear was found. Postoperative CT revealed the residual entry tear in the descending aorta and t...

BACKGROUND Structural characteristics of rotator cuff tears are used in surgical decision making. However, data on the association of tear size with patient-reported pain and function are sparse. PURPOSE To assess the association of tear size, fatty infiltration, and muscle atrophy with shoulder pain/function in patients with cuff tears undergoing operative and nonoperative treatment. STUDY...

Introduction : Although it is the strongest tendon in the human body, the Achilles tendon is the most commonly injured ankle tendon. Clinical evaluation alone is often suggestive of the diagnosis of acute rupture of the Achilles tendon, which could be partial or complete. However, the clinical examination alone is not sufficient in all cases, and imaging can play a crucial role. Aim of the Work...

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament is the most common tear in knee and its primary role to provide stability joint. Aim of study describe various secondary signs that are helpful diagnosing partial/complete ACL tear. MRI offers distinct advantages over arthroscopy as a means evaluating ACL. evaluation effective preventing unnecessary by assessing severity coexisting injuries. Methods: In th...

Subscapularis is the most powerful muscle in the rotator cuff. A steep learning curve and constrained space anteriorly make the repair difficult. In massive tears of the rotator cuff, repair of the subscapularis initially makes the massive supraspinatus tear repairable. We present our technique to repair subscapularis and supraspinatus tear by double-row anchors in a knotless and tension-free m...

Purpose and hypothesis: Acromion spur is the extrinsic factor for impingement syndrome and rotator cuff tear. The Rockwood tilt view can be used to evaluate prominence of the anterior acromion, however no study has shown the correlation of findings between the Rockwood tilt view and the arthroscopic finding. METHODS We developed the arthroscopic classification of acromion spur as type 1 flat ...

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of tear film and the associated temperature variation for partial blinks. We investigate the mechanism of fluid supply during partial blink cycles, and compare the film thickness with observation in vivo. We find that varying the thickness of the fluid layer beneath the moving upper lid improves the agreement for the in vivo measurement of tear film th...
