Patellar Tendon (PT) rupture is an uncommon injury of the knee extensors. Majority PT ruptures occur at insertion site, on inferior pole patella as avulsion injury, mostly in males <40 years age and involving sports persons or accidental cases. A case series 10 cases neglected were managed with primary repair along augmentation semitendinosus gracilis (Hamstring tendons) graft. Patient follo...

INTRODUCTION Genovarum is a common orthopedic problem. Its optimal prompt treatment is an issue of importance. AIM This study was conducted to determine the radiographic changes in patella bone before and after open wedge high tibial osteotomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS In this quasi-experimental study, 43 patients were enrolled and underwent open wedge high tibial osteotomy and the radiographic...

Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an established technique for the treatment of symptomatic varus malaligned knees. In this study, we prospectively followed up 13 patients (14 knees) who underwent navigation system-supported HTO for varus knee deformity. Preoperatively all patients underwent a physical examination, and anteroposterior and laterolateral lower limb weight-bearing digital ...

Observations of the five confirmed optical pulsars indicate that the peak emission scales according to the magnetic field strength at the light cylinder. To the accuracy that such low number allows we show that this gives gives further confirmation that a straightforward synchrotron model such as Pacini & Salvati (1987) still has validity. The derived relationships indicates that the emission m...

We show that observations of pulsars with pulsed optical emission indicate that the peak flux scales according to the magnetic field strength at the light cylinder. The derived relationships indicate that the emission mechanism is common across all of the observed pulsars with periods ranging from 33ms to 385 ms and ages of 1000-300,000 years. It is noted that similar trends exist for γ ray pul...

Aim: Abnormal positioning of the patella, which superior position is defined as patella alta (PA), whereas inferior baja (PB). Most measurements patellar evaluations are time-consuming. In this study, we aimed to examine diagnostic accuracy visual evaluation according physeal line and determine inter- intraobserver agreement in MRI examinations. Material Methods: Knee examinations performed bet...
