Correlation between Plica Mediopatellar Damages and Cartilage Lesions on Arthroscopic Findings of The Knee

Mediopatellar Plica as a Risk Factor for Knee Osteoarthritis?

on translation of phatic communion and socio-cultural relationships between the characters of the novels

phatic communion is a cultural concept which differs across cultures. according to hofstede (2001), the u.s. tends to have individualistic culture; however, asian countries tend to have collectivistic cultures. these cultures view phatic communion differently. in individualistic cultures like u.s., phatic communion reflects speakers’ socio-cultural relationships in conversations. to see whether...

Arthroscopic Measurement of Cartilage Lesions of the Knee Condyle

Purpose: To present a new method of arthroscopic measurement of the surface and location of condylar lesions. Methods: We propose measuring the height of the condylar lesion by using the lesion’s arc (∆°) obtained from the difference between the angle of flexion at the beginning of the lesion and the angle of flexion at the end of the lesion. The first goal of the study was to determine the int...

Assessment of Correlation Between MRI and Arthroscopic Pathologic Findings in the Shoulder Joint

  Background: The objective of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of magnetic resonance imaging for shoulder joint pathologies and then compare the results with arthroscopy, the standard for joint diagnosis. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 80 patients with shoulder joint disorders, who underwent final arthroscopy, were studied. Based on patients’ medical history and physic...

Magnetic resonance characteristics of medial plica of the knee: correlation with arthroscopic resection.

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine if there are magnetic resonance (MR) characteristics of the medial plica that correlate with the likelihood of plica resection. METHODS Sixty-six knee MR examinations from patients who underwent subsequent knee arthroscopy were evaluated retrospectively for the presence of a medial plica. The plicae were then characterized by relative width...
