Background: Adult degenerative disorders of hip and spine are common. The recent studies inconsistently havediscussed about the influence of spinal disorders on total hip arthroplasty (THA). In this review, we discussed clearlyabout these relationships and their effects on the most appropriate position of the acetabular component.Methods: We searched on databases and evaluated the articles abou...

i found one article on the website of ijmtfm, which had studied the consequences of aspiration of gastric contents in acute poisoning patients (1). it was informative. unfortunately, there are some errors in that article, which i would like to bring to your kind attention.

Abstract Background Although pelvic incidence (PI) is a key morphologic parameter in assessing spinopelvic sagittal alignment, accurate measurements of PI become difficult patients with severe hip dislocation or femoral head deformities. This study aimed to investigate the reliability our novel parameters and correlations established parameters. Methods One hundred healthy volunteers (25 male 7...

  Background: Pelvic ring injuries and sacroiliac dislocations have significant impacts on patient’s quality of life. Several techniques have been described for posterior pelvic fixation. The current study has been designed to evaluate the spinopelvic method of fixation for sacroiliac fractures and fracture-dislocations.   Methods: Between January 2006 and December 2014, 14 patients with sacroi...

Objective. To propose and validate a dimensional parameter, the sagittal pelvic thickness (SPT) (distance between the middle point of the upper sacral plate and the femoral heads axis, expressed as a ratio with the length of the upper plate of S1: (SPT/S1) for the analysis of the sagittal balance of the pelvispinal unit. Methods. The parameters were analysed on standing radiographic imaging and...

AIM Sacral fractures are generally seen together with pelvic ring fractures. They can also develop in isolated form rarely. Instability is observed in these fractures in rates reaching 30%. MATERIAL AND METHODS Spinopelvic stabilization was applied to 10 cases with pelvic fractures together with sacral fractures and spinopelvic instability. Two cases were treated with adductive screws extendi...
