Abstract Conventional radiographs and CT are primary investigations in spinal trauma. However MRI is the technique assessment of degenerative inflammatory disorders. There occasions when conventional radiographs, bone scintigraphy assist diagnosis A detailed understanding anatomy spine dynamic function essential interpretation imaging. Degenerative disorders including disc disease sometimes res...

introduction: there is substantial evidence that the technical quality of root canalfilling has a significant effect on the outcome of root canal treatment. theaim of this study was to evaluate the technical quality of root canal fillingsperformed by dental students. methods: the records of 325 teethradiographs, treated by dental students in 2008-2009 in babol dental school,were selected and ev...

Back pain caused by stress fractures, fatigue, or insufficiency, affects varied patient populations based on the level of physical activity and bone mineral density. Stress fractures may involve the vertebral body, pars interarticularis, and the pedicle; often overlooked are stress fractures of the sacrum or bony pelvis, which can mimic pain of spinal origin and delay diagnosis. The choice of o...

Axial radiographs were obtained under valgus and external rotation stress at 45 degrees of knee flexion with and without contraction of the quadriceps muscle in order to assess the dynamics of patellar subluxation or dislocation. The radiography was performed on 82 knees in 61 patients with patellofemoral instability, and on 44 normal knees. The lateral patellofemoral angle and the congruence a...

Introduction: Predictors of fracture risk differ between cervical and trochanteric hip fractures. The aim of this experimental study was therefore to investigate whether two-dimensional (2D) finite element (FE) models, generated from standard radiographs, are able to predict and discriminate fracture types, originating from a simulated fall on the greater trochanter. Methods: A semi-automatic c...

Break dancing is a popular activity in teenagers and is associated with severe trauma to bones and tissues. We report the first known case of a break dancer with an ulnar stress fracture. Such injuries occur in a variety of sports due to substantial stress on the ulna and repetitive excessive rotation of the forearm. In this study we describe a patient who experienced an ulnar stress fracture d...
