Valgus producing high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an effective treatment option for medial compartment osteoarthrosis with varus deformity in young patients. The most common complications of conventional high tibial osteotomy techniques are related to accuracy of correction. Major angle correction of more than 15 degrees with an osteotomy proximal to the tibial tuberosity may cause significant ch...

BACKGROUND Assessment of changes in anatomic alignment following guided growth traditionally utilizes full-length standing radiographs which subjects patients to larger radiation doses than does a single anteroposterior radiograph of the knee. In an effort to minimize radiation exposure, the present study sought to determine whether changes in screw divergence (SD) of the 2-hole tension band pl...

Children with late-onset tibia vara present with a marked genu varum deformity that usually develops in middle childhood or early adolescence, and it is usually accompanied by obesity [6] . In these cases, the inhibition of growth may result in premature medial physeal arrest [7] , which might explain the relative success of a single valgus osteotomy in the management of the earlier onset cases...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous lateral hemiepiphysiodesis of the lower extremity is a simple and excellent method to correct the angular and length problems cosmetically. However, the efficacy of percutaneous lateral hemiepiphysiodesis is not well established in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of percutaneous lateral hemiepiphysiodesis for angular corrections in ...

Abstract
 Aim: Patellafemoral angle (Q angle) and Hamstring length are important measurements to evaluate balance. This study aims examine the effects of Q on balance performance in patients with lumbar intervertebral disc herniation (LDH). 
 Material Method: LDH (n=32) control group (KG)(n=30) were included study. angles hamstring muscle lengths participants measured. Balance was eva...
