abstract   background: different methods of surgical treatment for acromioclavicular(ac) joint injury were considered in the literature. the purpose of the study was to compare intra- articular ac repair technique with the extra-articular coracoclavicular repair technique for the patients with rockwood type iii and vac joint injury when indicated.   methods: nineteen consecutive patients with r...

intraepiphyseal location of an osteoid osteoma is extremely rare with few cases reported in the literature. they are often present with various atypical and nonspecific clinical features. synovitis of adjacent joint is common and along with chronic inflammation could be misinterpreted as rheumatoid arthritis. initial plain radiographs are often not diagnostic and further radiologic evaluation w...

background scapula fractures occur in approximately 1% of all fractures and constitute about 3% - 5% of all injuries of the shoulder joint. objectives this study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes of 20 surgically treated patients with displaced glenoid fractures after stabilization with distal radius plate. methods between 2012 and 2015, at 2 centers (hmch & shce) of bhubaneswar odisha, w...

objective (s): the scarcity of articular cartilage defect to repair due to absence of blood vessels and tissue engineering is one of the promising approaches for cartilage regeneration. the objective of this study was to prepare an extracellular matrix derived decellularized bovine articular cartilage scaffold and investigate its interactions with seeded rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (...

enrofloxacin is a synthetic chemotherapeutic agent from the class of the fluoroquinolones that is widely used to treat bacterial infections. it is metabolized to ciprofloxacin in the body as active metabolite. fluoroquinolones change in the articular cartilage, especially with high doses and more than two weeks use. so, due to relatively excessive use of enrofloxacin in mammals and similarity o...

background: recent studies have provided evidence that integrins play roles in recognition of mechanical stimuli and its translation into a cellular response. integrin signaling may be regulated by a number of mechanisms including accessory proteins such as cd98 (4f2 antigen). objectives: to determine cd98 expression by human articular chondrocytes and its involvement in human articular mechano...

o bjectives: pneumatized articular eminence or tubercle (pat) is an air cell cavity in the zygomatic process of the temporal bone. pneumatization of articular eminence may be seen incidentally on panoramic radiographs (pr) as a unilocular or multilocular, radiolucent defect. the aim of this study was to assess the prevalence and the pattern of pat on pr in an iranian population. materials and m...

background:chronic synovitis is one of the most important complications in haemophilic patients. rifampin is anantibiotic which its intra-articular injecion leads to destruction of the synovial membrane of haemophilic patientsmedically.materials and methods: between september 2003 and november 2005, we administered intra-articular rifampinin ١۶ haemophilic joints of ٨ haemophilic patients.resul...

introduction: hemophilia is a hereditary disease with intraarticular hemorrhage as the most common manifestation of it. having taken into consideration the progressive articular degeneration, individual dysfunction, need for medical and surgical treatment, great cost to the patients, and also legal problems brought about by hemophilia patients’ dysfunction, this study examines the relationship ...
