A direct lateral approach to the hip is described which allows adequate access for orientation of the implant, for the insertion ofthe cement and for the correction ofdiscrepancy in leg length. An anatomical observation was made that the gluteus medius muscle is inserted into the greater trochanter by a tendon and that the axis of the shaft of the femur lies anterior to the main bulk of the mus...

Triiodothyronine (T3) is a primary determinant of normal postnatal somatic growth and skeletal development, and an important regulator of bone and mineral metabolism in hu‐ man [1, 2]. Before puberty, thyroid hormone appears to be a major prerequisite for normal maturation of bone [3]. Untreated childhood hypothyroidism results in a profound growth retardation and a delayed skeletal maturation....

conclusions despite rarity of the hip external rotator muscles strains, it should be considered in the differential diagnosis of athletes with proximal posterior thigh and buttock pain. introduction buttock pain is a relatively common complaint among adolescent athletes and can have a very broad differential diagnosis. case presentation the authors present a previously unreported case of acute ...

brucellosis is a zoonotic disease mostly transmitted to humans through consumption of unpasteurized dairy products and can lead to a systemic disease with any organ involvement. in this report, we describe a case of brucellosis-induced avascular necrosis of the hip. brucellosis was diagnosed through serological tests, and avascular necrosis of the femoral head was confirmed by pelvic mri. the p...

This study introduces a deep analysis, which correlates the metallurgical characters with magnetic properties in laser powder bed fusion processed Ni-Fe-Mo, to produce 3D prototypes maximum shielding performance for ultra-sensitive quantum-based systems. The conducts sequenced plan of optimising via microstructure density control, controlling anisotropy, before applying heat treatment (HT) and ...

OBJECTIVE In adult spinal deformity (ASD), quantifying preoperative lower-extremity (LE) compensation is important in formulating an operative plan to achieve optimal global sagittal alignment. Whole-body radiographs are not always available. This study evaluated the possibility of estimating LE without whole-body radiographs. METHODS total, 200 consecutive ASD patients with full-body radiograp...

StudyDesign: Case series. Background: Manual, long-axis hip traction has been used for centuries to treat pain and dysfunction associated with hip osteoarthritis (OA). e purpose of this case series is to describe a rehabilitation program that was used to treat two patients with hip OA using the HipTrac traction device in addition to manual therapy and therapeutic exercise. Case Description: Two...

The ability to reach a high running velocity over a short distance is essential to a high playing performance in team games. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between running time over a 10-meter section of a 30-meter sprint along a straight line and changes in the angle and angular velocity that were observed in the ankle, knee, and hip joints. The possible presence may h...

This paper aims at developing a quantitative system for measuring human hip cartilage thickness and volume using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). A new MRI-acquisition technique, named axial rotation, where the acquisition planes are organized around a virtual axis, was used. The MRI protocol consists of a 2-D multiple-echo data image combination (MEDIC) using water excitation. Inner and outer...
