Forearm rotation occurs around an axis connecting the center of the radial head and the fovea of the distal ulna. The purpose of the present study was to demonstrate the usefulness of the difference between forearm and proximal radial axis in the treatment of malunited forearm fractures. We reviewed the results of eight corrective osteotomies for malunited fractures of the forearm without dislo...

We investigated the relationship between the pain experienced by 50 patients with osteoarthritis of the hip and the resting intra-articular pressure of the synovial fluid. We found a significant linear correlation between these factors, greater pain being experienced by patients with higher pressures. In 20 cases we showed that the pressure rises in extension and medial rotation and is least in...

In 1881, Reverdin described a closing wedge osteotomy of the first metatarsal head with the apex laterally that also included excision of the medial eminence (Fig. 11-1A). His purpose was to realign the abducted hallux and remove the prominent bump. The procedure effectively reduces an abnormal proximal articular set angle but does not directly address the intermetatarsal angle. Since the time ...

introduction intra-articular injections of platelet rich plasma (prp) for the treatment of knee osteoarthritis have been shown to reduce pain and improve joint function. the aim of this study is to examine the joint function by adding intra-articular growth hormone to platelet rich plasma. this study was performed on the individuals with knee osteoarthritis and under ultrasound guidance. conclu...

STUDY DESIGN A new surgical technique of cervical osteotomy to correct an extension deformity of the cervical spine is described, and a case is reported. OBJECTIVES To emphasize the disparate effect of osteotomy level on sagittal balance and gaze angle in surgical correction of global kyphotic deformity, and to describe a new surgical technique. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Previous reports o...

OBJECTIVE To report the surgical procedure, intra- and postoperative complications, and short-term follow-up of tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) in feline patients with cranial cruciate ligament (CrCL) rupture using a 2.0 or 2.4 mm Synthes® TPLO plate. STUDY DESIGN Prospective study. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eleven cats with a CrCL rupture were included in the study. Inspection of intr...

providing suitable analgesia following diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopic surgeries, that areconsidered to cause some degree of postoperative pain, is a necessity in equine practice. the aim of thepresent study was to evaluate the equine synovial fluid biochemical and cytological changes as well asclinical assessments of the joint following intra-articular administration of ketamine. six a...

  Background: The prevalence of hip dysplasia is 1 in 1000. Several pelvic osteotomy methods have been developed to prevent early osteoarthritis, such as triple osteotomy. In this study we are going to introduce our new technique that was done on 4 patients with favorable short-term results.   Methods: Four patients underwent triple osteotomy and fixation using a reconstruction plate and early ...

BACKGROUND Corrective osteotomy for malunited diaphyseal forearm fractures remains a challenging procedure. We developed a computer-assisted system for corrective surgery, including a three-dimensional simulation program and a custom-made osteotomy template, and investigated the results of corrective surgery for malunited diaphyseal forearm fractures with use of this technology. METHODS Twent...
