Background: There are limited studies regarding the effects of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on other areas of lower extremity. In current study, we investigated the changes of tibiotalar joint following HTO. Methods: A total of 39 patients with genu varum requiring HTO were enrolled in this before and after study. The genu varus, joint diversion (JDA), lateral distal tibial (LDTA) and lateral d...

conclusions although some of the orthopedic surgeons are not interested to manage these fractures surgically and most of them treat these cases conservatively (casting, etc.), in most displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures, surgical treatment is the method of choice. moreover, in non-surgical treatment the prevalence of these complications among the patients is more and as a result, inev...

the prediction of the joint angle position, especially during tremor bursts, can be useful for detecting, tracking, and forecasting tremors. thus, this research proposes a new model for predicting the wrist joint position during rhythmic bursts and inter‑burst intervals. since a tremor is an approximately rhythmic and roughly sinusoidal movement, neural oscillators have been selected to underli...

flow passing through lateral intakes and channel junctions is turbulent. sediment flow and bed forms areaffected by these flow patterns and vice versa. in this research, a laboratory study was carried out toexplore a possible method for sediment control for a set of submerged vanes and a single spur dikesimultaneously. since a larger portion of the near-bed flow was diverted, the intake receive...

BACKGROUND Traumatic injuries to the lower gastrointestinal tract occur in up to 15% of all injured combatants, with significant morbidity (up to 75%) and mortality. The incidence, etiology, associated injuries, and overall mortality related to modern battlefield colorectal trauma are poorly characterized. METHODS Using data from the Joint Theater Trauma Registry and other Department of Defen...

Introduction: Anthropometric studies provide valuable information in different populations. This study was conducted to evaluate the anatomical variations of the normal hip joint among Tehran population, Iran, in comparison with other populations. Methods: This study was carried out on hip joint of 260 patients in all ages and both genders referred to the Department of Radiology at Ebn-e Sina ...

normal axial alignment restoration in lower extremities is crucial for surgeons performing reconstructive surgeries. since reference normal values of axial alignment are affected by age, sex, and ethical issues, we tried to scrutinize these parameters in iranian adults and compare them with normal values in literatures. through a cross-sectional design, standing axial alignment views of lower e...
