This case report describes arthroscopic findings of the effect on articular distraction of ankle joint by means of external fixator for the patient with chondrolysis. Arthroscopy showed fibrocartilage tissue lying between the talus and tibia to protect damaged articular surfaces although apparent repair of surface cartilage failed to find.

OBJECTIVES The objectives of this study were to evaluate the occurrence and severity of complications after mandibular distraction osteogenesis (DO) with internal devices. STUDY DESIGN The study was a retrospective analysis of 131 patients (mean age: 16.2 years) consecutively treated by mandibular DO from 1998 to 2009. Ninety-two patients had unilateral and 39 had bilateral distraction, yield...

Background: Recently, there has been an increasingly insufficient use of conservative methods therapy and unreasonable increase in indications for total replacement large joints. According to the literature, more than 25% cases knee joint could have avoided if patients had provided with optimal non-surgical treatment. In addition, orthopedic traumatologists once focused on unheralded joint-savi...

To investigate whether capsular repair restores the initial hip distractive stability at time of arthroscopy. Patients who underwent primary arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement between March 2020 and August were prospectively enrolled in study traction protocol. Total joint space was measured on fluoroscopic images medial lateral edges sourcil 12.5 lb. axial intervals (up to 100 lbs) t...

UNLABELLED Although various aspects of bone formation during distraction osteogenesis have been studied extensively, there are only limited experimental data concerning the influence of hyper-physiologic mandibular distraction rate on structural alterations in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) condylar cartilage. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of bilateral distraction oste...

Whiplash injury can produce pain in the neck, arm, and hand, and has been associated with inflammation. However, the relationship between inflammatory responses and pain symptoms remains unknown, hindering the development of appropriate therapeutics for whiplash symptoms. Two joint loading paradigms were used separately in an established rat model of painful cervical facet joint distraction to ...
