Intestinal malrotation occurs when there is arrest or disruption of the normal rotation of the embryonic gut during the fourth to twelfth week of embryonic development. Normally, the midgut undergoes a 270° counterclockwise rotation around the superior mesenteric artery, leading to retroperitoneal fixation of the duodenum at the ligament of Treitz and fixation of the cecum by peritoneal bands t...

BACKGROUND after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, it is necessary to integrate free tendon graft biologically to the bone. In the present study, to verify whether a structure identical to the normal ligament-bone insertion could be regenerated at the tendon-bone interface without bone tunnel, we designed ACL reconstruction model without a tibial bone tunnel. Moreover, to enhance...

AIM To evaluate the accuracy of magnetic resonance (MR) arthrographic imaging in the diagnosis of glenoid labral and ligament tears in recurrent shoulder instability. SETTINGS AND DESIGN Prospective, comparative study at a tertiary care centre. MATERIAL AND METHODS Patients with three or more episodes of anterior shoulder dislocation were enrolled in the study. They were subjected to magnet...

Bursal and superior direct arthroscopic distal clavicle resection techniques exist. An indirect transarticular distal clavicle resection (TADCR) technique, in which the bone resection is performed directly through the acromioclavicular joint (ACJ), is presented. With the arthroscope in the lateral portal and viewing at the ACJ, the TADCR begins by inserting a needle into the ACJ to determine th...

Acute posterolateral corner injuries of the knee are rare and, when present, are frequently associated with concurrent ligament injury, neurovascular damage, or fractures of the femur or tibia. Early surgical treatment has been shown to be superior to delayed and nonoperative treatment of multiligamentous knee injuries. Historically, repair has been advocated. High-quality studies comparing rep...

A 51-year-old man with a ruptured pancreaticoduodenal artery (PDA) aneurysm caused by compression of the celiac artery by the median arcuate ligament and aortic dissection involving the celiac axis was transferred to our hospital for endovascular treatment. A 4-F catheter was advanced into the superior mesenteric artery through the narrow true lumen via the left brachial artery, and coil emboli...

Superior check desmotomy and annular desmotomy, alone or in combination, are valuable adjunct procedures in the management of superficial digital flexor tendinitis in the horse. Results of surgical management in Standardbreds are superior to those reported of conservative management and to those achieved in Thoroughbreds. Author’s address: New Bolton Center, University of Pennsylvania, Kennett ...

In order to evaluate the traits related to nitrogen utilization and to identify the superior genotypes, 33 bread wheat landraces along three check cultivars of Chamran and Koohdasht (from Iran) and Gobustan (from the Republic of Azerbaijan) were studied in simple lattice statistical design with two replications under two treatments of non-usage and application of 200 kg/ha ammonium nitrate fert...
