Oblique axial and oblique coronal MR images parallel to the femoral neck provide more valuable information concerning the proximal femur than orthogonal images. The main disadvantage of the unilateral oblique imaging is that the imaging time is significantly increased when both hips need to be imaged. If the bilateral oblique imaging is performed simultaneously, this increase in imaging time is...

A comprehensive computational model of wear has been developed. It simulates the wearing a surface due to both scratching with rigid indenter or normal/oblique impact projectile. group spheres models surface, characterised by hardness. When pressure overcomes threshold, are displaced account for change in profile. In case impact, volume grows velocity and reaches maximum between 0 90 ∘ . scratc...

OBJECTIVES To present the outcomes of unilateral inferior oblique myectomy performed in patients with inferior oblique overaction due to superior oblique palsy. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients that underwent inferior oblique myectomy surgery for superior oblique palsy between 2002 and 2008 were included. Inferior oblique overaction scores (between 0-4) at preoperative, ...

PURPOSE To assess the incidence and investigate the functional impact of postoperative overcorrection following primary unilateral inferior oblique muscle recession and myectomy for inferior oblique overaction. METHODS A retrospective study of 79 consecutive patients undergoing inferior oblique myectomy (43) or recession (36) with a minimum 6 months of postoperative follow-up. All underwent o...

BACKGROUND Fixation of radial neck fractures can be achieved with a plate and screw construct or, in absence of comminution, with two obliquely-oriented screws. This study investigated the mechanical properties, specifically the stiffness and load to failure, of these two fixation strategies in a cadaver model. METHODS Ten matched-pair radii were removed from fresh cadaver arms. A transverse ...

Spondylolysis is a common cause of backache and the detection of subtle cases is therefore important. Oblique views considerably increase the detection rate (Appleby and Stabler 1969), but a number of cases require additional views. The 30#{176} oblique cranial tilt view is more reliable than the standard oblique views in detecting spondylolysis as it visualises the pars interarticularis tangen...
