abstract the leg is a complex district with functions of weightbearing support, stability, and motility. the management of extensive and complex defects is more challenging and often results in leg amputation or shortening. leg amputation is a severe mutilation that alters the patient’s work and social life by limiting ambulation and self-sufficiency. during a 3 years period we treated four pat...

the present study was performed to investigate the effects of long-term intraperitoneal (ip) injection of vitamin b12 and diclofenac in separate and combined treatments on cold and mechanical allodynia in a neuropathic pain model in rats. neuropathic pain was induced by crush injury in right tibial nerve. acetone spray and von frey tests were used to obtain cold and mechanical allodynia respons...

Background: The purpose of this study was to introduce a technical tip for the preparation of tibial tunnel in a posteriorcruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction to reduce the chance of popliteal artery injury and duration of the surgery.Methods: This study included 18 patients who underwent PCL reconstructions at Imam Khomeini University Hospital,Tehran, Iran, between 2016 and...

Is there a correlation between increased posterior-inferior tibial slope angle and noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury? Does increasing the posterior-inferior tibial slope angle increase the risk of bilateral ACL injury? A computerized relational database (Access 2007; Microsoft Inc, Redmond, Washington) was used to conduct a retrospective review of patients undergoing bilateral ...

A case is presented of a twenty-eight-year-old male with bilateral closed tibial fractures presenting with no right posterior tibial pulse, who was treated with bilateral reamed intramedullary nails. A post-operative arteriogram, to assess injury to the posterior tibial artery due to the initial insult, revealed impingement of the right anterior tibial artery by the most distal screw of the dis...

Reverse Segond fracture is an uncommon avulsion fracture of the tibial attachment of the deep portion of the medial collateral ligament of the knee. We report a reverse Segond fracture associated with anterior cruciate ligament tibial avulsion fracture and anteromedial tibial rim fracture. Unlike previous reports, the combination of reverse Segond fracture, anteromedial tibial rim fracture, and...

background fractures of the knee account for about 6% of all trauma admissions. while its management is mostly focused on fracture treatment, it is not the only factor that defines the final outcome. objectives this study aimed to study objective and subjective outcomes after proximal tibial versus distal femoral fractures in terms of knee instability and health-related quality of life. patient...

Tibial stress fractures are a common overuse injury among military recruits. The purpose of this study was to determine what, if any, long-term effects that tibial stress fractures have on military personnel with respect to physical activity level, completion of military training, recurrence of symptoms, and active duty service. Twenty-six military recruits included in a previous tibial stress ...
