BACKGROUND Old pelvis fractures are among the most challenging fractures to treat because of their complex anatomy, difficult-to-access surgical sites, and the relatively low incidence of such cases. Proper evaluation and surgical planning are necessary to achieve the pelvic ring symmetry and stable fixation of the fracture. The goal of this study was to assess the use of three-dimensional (3D)...

This study is to determine which part or the upper urinary tract, ureter or pelvis causes more significant delay in the pressure wave-front propagation from the bladder to the pelvis when a reverse flow of the urine occurs. A sudden rise in the intravesical pressure of the dog was produced by stimulating the vesical branches of pelvic nerve with a train of electrical impulses with 10 Hz for 60 ...

Study Design Methodological study. Purpose To our knowledge, this is the first study to introduce a new modified method for inserting iliosacral screws and to compare its results with those of a conventional method. Overview of Literature Previous techniques, such as open reduction and internal fixation, are associated with perioperative hemorrhage, postoperative infection, and neurological...

BACKGROUND To set up a method for measuring radiographic displacement of unstable pelvic ring fractures based on standardized X-ray images and then test its reliability and validity using a software-based measurement technique. METHODS Twenty-five patients that were diagnosed as AO/OTA type B or C pelvic fractures with unilateral pelvis fractured and dislocated were eligible for inclusion by ...

BACKGROUND Cam impingement as a known sequelae of slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) has led to speculation that subclinical SCFEs may be the causative factor in idiopathic cam morphology; alternatively, others have implicated an abnormal extension of the growth plate as a causative factor. HYPOTHESIS/PURPOSE To investigate the growth plate tilt angle in 4 patient cohorts: normal patien...

Indications for transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) have evolved since surgery for incipient rectal tumours. The possibility of access via TEM has now been extended to other rectal and pelvic diseases, while standard surgical treatment is performed through the abdomen by laparotomy or laparoscopy. The evolution of laparoscopy has resulted in natural orifice translumenal endoscopic surgery (...

Introduction: In MRI, radiofrequency (RF) field (B1) inhomogeneity can produce flip angle variations, which can ultimately lead to signal intensity variations and quantitative measurement errors. By independently calibrating the local spatial variation of B1, the RFrelated signal variations can be corrected. The most widely used B1 mapping method is the double angle method (DAM) [1], which uses...
