conclusion significant functional performance deficits were observed in the fai group in all tests except single hop test with greater deficits observed in the fai-gw group. hence, these tests can be used to determine the presence of fai. however no deficits were identified for the test involving sagittal plane functional activities suggesting that this test can not be used as a criterion to di...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to analyze femoral shaft sagittal parameters in Chinese osteoarthritis (OA) patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and identify whether the parameters in the coronal plane could be predictors of those in the sagittal plane. METHODS Standard long-standing anteroposterior and femoral lateral radiographs of 50 lower limbs in 50 Chinese OA patie...

background:  there is still controversy regarding the best technique for ankle arthrodesis to acheive stable rigid fixation along with reconstructing a functional plantigrade foot. moreover, existing techniques have complictions related to stability, soft tissue covering, fusion rate, and exposure. methods: with the anterior approach exactly on the tibialis anterior sheath, the joint was expose...

Amaç: Toraks cerrahisi, en ağrılı cerrahi prosedürlerden biri olarak kabul görmektedir. cerrahisinden sonra gelişen ağrı; atelektazi ve pnömoni gibi solunum komplikasyonları, daha uzun hastane yatış süreleri, yaşam kalitesinin azalması ağrının postoperatif kronik ağrıya dönüşmesi olumsuz sonuçlara neden olabilir. cerrahisi geçiren hastalarda analjezi uygulamalarımızı sonuçlarını retrospektif in...

introduction: ankle fracture is one of the most common joint fractures. x-ray and physical examination are its main methods of diagnosis. recently, ultrasonography (us) is considered as a simple and non-invasive method of fracture diagnosis. this study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of us in detection of ankle fracture in comparison to plain radiography. methods: in this diagnostic accuracy ...

introduction anterior talofibular ligament (atfl) rupture is the most commonly injured anatomic structure in lateral ankle sprain. in some cases, atfl avulsion fracture from the lateral malleolus may occur instead of purely ligamentous injuries. the atfl avulsion fracture is detected as a small ossicle at the tip of lateral malleolus on direct radiographs, which is called os subfibulare in chro...

Introduction. Recently, new model of Oxford mobile-bearing unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA, Oxford Microplasty®, Zimmer Biomet, IN, USA) was launched to improve previous version (Oxford Phase 3, Biomet, IN, USA). Still, there are few reports demonstrating the results of this noble UKA prosthesis in the literature. Thus, the aim of this study is to report and assess the postoperative rad...
