Distal humerus fractures constitute 2 to 7% of all the elbow fractures. Young males are most commonly affected due high energy trauma and secondly seen in elderly women osteoporosis. Due complex anatomy neurovascular network nearby, treatment is very difficult. Anatomical reconstruction key for successful functional outcome. We compared TRAP olecranon osteotomy approach management intraarticula...

Introduction: The occipital condyles are undersurface protruberances of the bone in vertebrates, which articulate with superior facets atlas vertebra. oval or reniform shape, and their anterior extremities directed forward medially closer together than posterior end. Aim: aim study is to provide important anatomical parameters for lateral transcondylar approach. Materials Methods: 200 100 dry h...

Aim. To compare the differences between medial and intercondylar infragenicular femoropopliteal prosthetic bypasses in terms of their midterm patency and limb salvage rates. Methods. Ninety-three consecutive patients with peripheral arterial disease who underwent a simple distal femoropopliteal bypass using a reinforced polytetrafluorethylene graft were included in this retrospective study. The...

PURPOSE To review outcomes of 19 patients with tibial eminence fractures. METHODS Records of 10 female and 9 male patients with type II (n=3) and type III (n=16) displaced tibial intercondylar eminence fractures were reviewed. Nine of whom were skeletally immature aged 6 to 15 (mean, 12) years; the remaining 10 patients were aged 19 to 55 (mean, 32) years. 14 involved the left knee. All patie...

We assessed the possible association between an aggressive intercondylar notchplasty and histopathologic, radiographic, and gait changes to the knee. Three groups of six adult greyhounds were observed for 6 months. Group I dogs had a sham operation. Group II dogs had a 4-mm notchplasty of the lateral femoral condyle where it articulates with the lateral tibial spine. Group III dogs had a 7- to ...

BACKGROUND Reduction of the tibia relative to the femur with the knee in maximum extension is required to correctly position the tibial tunnel in the sagittal plane when using a guide that targets the intercondylar roof. The authors found no studies that determined (1) whether gravity reduces the tibia and (2) whether roof impingement is prevented without a roofplasty and without positioning th...

The principal purpose of this prospective study was to examine intercondylar notch size and the value of inner angle of lateral femoral condyle as the risk factors for noncontact anterior cruciate ligament ACL injury and than to correlate them to the physical values of the athletes such as body mass index (BMI), hight, wight, etc. There are indentified two type of risk factors, external include...

This study was designed to analyze how anterior tibial tunnel placement can result in graft impingement by the intercondylar roof. The relationship of the ACL to the intercondylar roof was studied using magnetic resonance scans. An attempt was made to predict the amount of bone that may need to be removed from the intercondylar roof to prevent impingement on a 10 mm thick ACL graft. Magnetic re...
