Soft tissue balancing during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has a direct affect on patello-femoral tracking and knee range of motion, which are necessary for a well functioning TKA postoperatively. We report on the use of an electronic pressure sensing instrument for soft tissue balancing of the knee before completion of all intraoperative bone cuts, as a way to improve patellar tracking. ...

The microstructure of brain tissues becomes visible using different types of optical microscopy after the tissue sectioning. This preparation procedure introduces stress and strain in the anisotropic and inhomogeneous soft tissue slices, which are several 10 μm thick. Consequently, the three-dimensional dataset, generated out of the two-dimensional images with lateral submicrometer resolution, ...

introduction: few studies on benign soft tissue tumors of oral cavity have been conducted in an iranian population. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of the benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity in three central pathology centers of rasht, iran. materials and methods: in this retrospective study, all benign soft tissue tumors of the oral cavity, were retrieved from...

introduction uterine leiomyomas are the most common benign solid tumors of the female pelvis. retroperitoneal myomas are extremely rare and usually malignant with the common location being in the pelvis. case presentation our case involved a woman who was suffering from dysparonia and radiculating right pelvic pain. the pelvic examination revealed a palpable tender mass of about 3-4 cm in size ...

OBJECTIVE The aims of this study were: (i) to determine whether the severity of post-hemiplegic shoulder subluxation in stroke patients correlates with soft-tissue injury; and (ii) to determine the shoulder subluxation measurement cut-off points that are indications for further ultrasound examination for soft-tissue injuries in these patients. DESIGN Cross-sectional study. PATIENTS A total ...

The historical lack of field-based radiographic studies of nonhuman primates within the field of anthropology is likely due to the perceived difficulty of transporting and operating X-ray equipment. Here we present a method for taking lateral cranial radiographs of nonhuman primates in the field that is simple to employ, and that produces exposed films suitable for collection of measurement dat...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to analyze the soft tissue barrier formed to implant abutments made of different materials. MATERIAL AND METHODS Six Labrador dogs, about 1 year old, were used. All mandibular premolars and the first, second and third maxillary premolars were extracted. Three months later four implants (OsseoSpeed, 4.5 x 9 mm, Astra Tech Dental, Mölndal, Sweden) were...

PURPOSE Bony resection of the proximal medial tibia, an alternative technique for soft tissue balancing in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), was compared to the conventional medial soft tissue release technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS From June 2005 to June 2007, we performed 40 TKA in 27 patients with ≥10° tibio-femoral varus deformity. The conventional, medial soft tissue release technique was ...
