In this paper, the complex 3D virtual model of the prosthetic knee is obtained using embedded applications: DesignModeler and SpaceClaim under ANSYS Workbench 14.5 software package. A number of six cases of prosthetic knee joint assembly, depending on the malalignment angle, are developed. Stress maps and the values of the maximum von Mises stress on the three prosthesis components: polyethylen...

Chondral lesions of the knee can occur secondary to limb malalignment. To address these interrelated problems, a high tibial osteotomy with concomitant osteochondral allograft transfer may be performed. It is important to address these chondral lesions as they often affect the young and active population and cause morbidity in an otherwise healthy population. Although numerous approaches for th...

Patients were divided in 4 groups (Habermayer classification) and evaluated for an unstable LHBT:10 patients had superior gleno-humeral ligament (SGHL) tear (Type I),16 patients SGHL and supraspinatus (SSP) tendon tears (Type II),21 patients SGHL and subscapularis (SSC) tendon tears (Type III) and 23 patients SGHL, SSP and SSC tears (Type IV). At arthroscopy 2 patients were negative,8 patients ...

BACKGROUND: The techniques for the surgical correction of a hindfoot valgus deformity usually include both bony and soft-tissue techniques, depending on severity. Medializing calcaneal osteotomy (MCO) is one main used to correct such deformities. However, degree in different patients can vary significantly; thus, using above principle, postoperative considerably. Based data from various authors...

background: there are few studies comparing the biomechanical properties of angled blade plate and locking compression plates in supracondylar osteotomy. in the current randomized study, we prospectively compared the clinical and radiological outcomes of supracondylar osteotomy using these two plates. methods: forty patients with valgus knee malalignment were randomly assigned to two equal numb...

A double outlet right ventricle was diagnosed in a 10 week old infant, in whom the ventricular septum was intact at the time of presentation. A large aneurysm of a membranous septal remnant was present, and this appears to be the first recorded instance of closure of a malalignment ventricular septal defect by such a mechanism.
