Objective: To investigate whether or not reconstruction of the medial cortex in subtrochanteric fracture can reduce the risks of internal fixation failure, fracture malunion, and nonunion. Subjects and Methods: Between 2005 and 2008, 46 patients with subtrochanteric fracture were treated with intramedullary nailing and followed up. The average age was 42 years. According to the Seinsheimer clas...

BACKGROUND Muscle function may influence the risk of knee injury and outcomes following injury. Clinical tests, such as a single-limb mini squat, resemble conditions of daily life and are easy to administer. Fewer squats per 30 seconds indicate poorer function. However, the quality of movement, such as the medio-lateral knee motion may also be important. The aim was to validate an observational...

It is shown that all the assumptions for symmetric monoidal categories flow out of a unifying principle involving natural isomorphisms of the type (A ∧B) ∧ (C ∧D) → (A ∧ C) ∧ (B ∧D), called medial commutativity. Medial commutativity in the presence of the unit object enables us to define associativity and commutativity natural isomorphisms. In particular, Mac Lane’s pentagonal and hexagonal coh...

A 66-year-old woman with long-term essential hypertension presentedwith poorly controlled bloodpressure in spiteof six antihypertensive drugs. Percutaneous renal denervation was indicated as a treatment of resistant arterial hypertension. Renal angiography showed ‘strings of beads’ appearance characteristic of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) in the mid-segment of the right renal artery (Panel A)....

BACKGROUND No study has used 3-D anatomic knee models to investigate the gender differences in anterior femoral condyles. Therefore, this study aims to determine the morphologic differences between genders in anterior femoral condyles of the knees using 3-D anatomic knee models. METHODS Ninety-six male and sixty-five female 3D anatomic knee models were used to measure lateral and medial anter...
