BACKGROUND The surgical approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) is often based on surgeon preference and local traditions. The anterior muscle-sparing approach has recently gained popularity in Europe. We tested the hypothesis that patient satisfaction, pain, function, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after THA is not related to the surgical approach. PATIENTS 1,476 patients identi...

BACKGROUND The gluteus medius (GMED) affects hip function as an abductor. We evaluated muscle volume and degeneration of the GMED by using CT-based analysis and assessed factors that affect hip abductor strength in patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis (OA). METHODS We examined clinical and imaging findings associated with hip abductor strength in consecutive 50 patients with unilateral...

Water treadmill is a modality in veterinary medical rehabilitation belongs to therapeutic exercise with natural muscle stimulation. use advantageous physical properties of water improve joint flexibility, endurance, balance, and animal posture by increasing mass strength, range motion, reducing pain. treadmills are often used rehabilitate hind limb musculoskeletal problems dogs hip dysplasia. H...

This study was conducted on 12 cats with 11 supracondylar femur fractures and one distal diaphyseal fracture. Fracture properties, operation details, postoperative complications, radiographic images of the cases were recorded. The in classified according to Salter‐Harris, they determined as type I 1, Type II 7, IV 3 them. Dynamic intramedullary cross pinning technique applied patients Salter‐Ha...

Abstract While the creation and still outstanding implementation of Unified Patent Jurisdiction system continue to cause contentious debates among academics practitioners, introduced in early 1990s for adjudication conflicts concerning unitary trade marks (and, later on, design rights) had charm simplicity. Building on national court systems instead providing a genuine EU judiciary, scheme coul...

Background: Surgical techniques and rehabilitations after total hip arthroplasty (THA) play a significant role in theimprovement of pain and limping. This study aimed to assess hip abductor muscle’s diameter and its strength after 6months postoperative THA performed by Hardinge approach.Methods: After obtaining the patients’ demographic characteristics, the preoperative values...

A 22-year-old professional football player presented with fierce anterior ankle pain. He was unable to play and experienced pain during normal daily activities. No recent trauma to the ankle had occurred that could have elicited the pain. The pain started suddenly during training and then gradually worsened until he was completely unable to play and even started limping during daily activities....

A minimally invasive anterior approach (MIS) was compared to a standard lateral approach in primary total hip arthroplasty. Clinical and radiological outcomes were analyzed 6 weeks, 12 weeks, one year and two years after surgery. The duration of surgery was longer, mobility one week after surgery was better and time of hospitalization was shorter for minimally invasive-treated patients. They ha...

BACKGROUND Ataxia telangiectasia (AT) is one of the combined immunodeficiency syndromes with immunologic, neurologic, endocrinologic, hepatic and cutaneous abnormalities. Regarding the fact that autoimmune disorders; such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), are not generally expected in the course of AT, we present a patient with an unusual presentation of these two conditions. CASE PRESEN...
