This paper on congenital club foot in Devonshire is based on a study of 635 patients treated at the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital, Exeter. It deals with the family history and associated congenital abnormalities, and attempts to clarify the causation of club foot. Particular attention is given to talipes equinovarus, and there are short notes on talipes calcaneo-valgus and metatarsus ...

In at least four closely related families of the diverse harvestmen lineage Gonyleptoidea, males may possess sexually dimorphic tarsal glands in the swollen tarsomeres of the basitarsus and/or metatarsus of leg I. The first histological and ultrastructural examination of the sexually dimorphic tarsal glands in leg I focused only on Manaosbiidae. In this study, we examine the morphology and ultr...

Blepharo-cheilo-dontic (BCD) syndrome comprises the combination of lagophthalmia, euryblepharon, lower eyelid ectropion, distichiasis, cleft lip and palate and oligodontia. This combination has been described as an autosomal dominant condition with variable expression. We herein described an Ecuadorian girl with consistent signs of BCD syndrome. Our patient also has unilateral hearing loss and ...

Metacarpal fractures were more common than metatarsal fractures in this retrospective study of 37 dogs. Fractures of one metacarpal or metatarsal bone occurred in 24 per cent of the dogs, two metacarpal bones in 16 per cent, three metacarpal or metatarsal bones in 19 per cent, and four metacarpal or metatarsal bones in 41 per cent. Eighty-seven per cent of the dogs with fractures of four bones ...

Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 regulates a broad spectrum of biological activities involved in growth, development, and differentiation. The current study was designed to investigate the associations of IGFBP2 gene polymorphisms with chicken growth and body composition traits. The Northeast Agricultural University Resource Population (NEAURP) was established by crossing broiler si...

INTRODUCTION Severe defects in long bones can be caused by several factors such as trauma that lead to open wound and secondary infections after surgery. Induced membrane technique is one of the therapeutic strategies that can be used for these patients. Due to importance of this method and lack of information about this technique in Iran. AIM this study was performed to investigate technical...

The Edinburgh Register of the Newborn 1964-1968 and the Edinburgh Scoliosis Clinic 1964-1971 have been used to establish the population frequency in the city of the idiopathic forms of talipes equinovarus and calcaneovalgus, metatarsus varus, congenital dislocation of the hip, and infantile scoliosis. A survey of 165 patients now aged 7 to 11 years showed an aetiological relationship, but with ...

OBJECTIVES The object of this study was to describe previously defined soft tissue structures by using spin and gradient sequences in a 0.5 Tesla magnetic resonance system in order to improve the characterisation of tendon and ligaments at the plantar region of the equine tarsus and metatarsus while considering possible age-related variations. METHODS Cadaveric hindlimbs from twenty-two Warmb...
