In experiments investigating vertical squat jumping, the HAT segment is typically defined as a line drawn from the hip to some point proximally on the upper body (eg, the neck, the acromion), and the hip joint as the angle between this line and the upper legs (θUL-HAT). In reality, the hip joint is the angle between the pelvis and the upper legs (θUL-pelvis). This study aimed to estimate to wha...

This paper gives a further approach to provide information on the human pelvis tolerance against lateral impacts with unembalmed cadavers. The aim of this work was to verify the influence of impactor parameters as velocity and weight on the criteria measured on pelvis as force, acceleration and deflection. A previous study, presented in 1994 at the ESV Conference, concerned the establishment of...

BACKGROUND Unlike cancer of the bladder, cancer of the renal pelvis is not considered an occupational cancer and little is known about risks among women. METHODS Using the Swedish national census and cancer registry-linked data (1971-1989), we identified transitional cell cancers of the renal pelvis (N = 1,374) and bladder (N = 21,591). Correlation between cancer sites for the standardized in...

Background. Computer Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery (CAOS) enables complex 3D planning of surgery and the precise navigation of surgical instruments or implants during the operation. This procedure may also be helpful in preparing pelvic osteotomies, by enabling a pre-operative, virtual assessment of the results of the surgery. The purpose of this paper is to present the possibilities of our "Sup...

OBJECTIVE The sciatic nerve (SN) separates into its branches, the tibial and common fibular nerves, outside the pelvis. However, it may rarely be separated within the pelvis. In such cases, the tibial nerve and the common fibular nerve may leave the pelvis through different routes. These variations may cause nerve compressions under other anatomic structures, resulting in non-discogenic sciatic...
