Background:  Distal femur wedge osteotomies for varus or valgus alignment of the lower extremity could be done in either uniplanar or biplanar fashion.Union time and stability of the osteotomy site has been considered important in this anatomic region. In this study, clinical and radiographic findings of biplane distal femur osteotomy were reported. Methods: Clinical, functional, and radiologic...

We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite point set S in the plane in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is S and can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We show that two maximal biplane graphs—in the sense that no edge can be added while staying biplane—may differ in the number of edges, and we provide an efficient algorithm for adding edges to a biplane...

We study biplane graphs drawn on a finite point set S in the plane in general position. This is the family of geometric graphs whose vertex set is S and which can be decomposed into two plane graphs. We show that every sufficiently large point set admits a 5-connected biplane graph and that there are arbitrarily large point sets that do not admit any 6connected biplane graph. Furthermore, we sh...

BACKGROUND The American Society of Echocardiography recommends calculating left atrial (LA) biplane volume because of its greater accuracy and prognostic value over LA diameter. However, biplane methods are not always feasible. The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between the echocardiographic LA biplane and single-plane volumes and their agreement in the classification of LA siz...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the accuracy of biplane radiography in the detection of fractures of the thoracic spine in patients with minor trauma using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) as the reference and to compare the dose of both techniques. METHODS 107 consecutive trauma patients with suspected fractures of the thoracic spine on physical examination were included. All had undergone...
