This study evaluated histologically the temporomandibular joint and posterior ramal regions in juvenile Rhesus monkeys whose mandibles had been positioned forward with a Herbst appliance. Acrylic splint Herbst appliances were bonded to the maxillary and mandibular dental arches of 20 male juvenile animals. The animals were killed at 3-, 6-, 12-, and 24-week intervals after appliance placement. ...

Case: A 63 year-old woman with bilateral severe medial knee osteoarthritis, huge cartilaginous defects, and severe varus-valgus instability was treated by tibial condylar valgus (TCV) osteotomy. Her preoperative point of the weight-bearing (mechanical) axis was right -19% and left -20%. After surgery, the mechanical axis was right 60% and left 61% with a high degree of patient satisfaction. Con...

The survivorship method of analysis has been used to compare the failure rate and overall success of 1,430 cemented primary total knee arthroplasties performed at The Hospital for Special Surgery over a 15-year period. There were 224 total condylar prostheses with a polyethylene tibia, 289 of the posterior stabilised type with an all polyethylene tibia, and 917 posterior stabilised with a metal...

purpose: to compare the visual outcomes and complications of lensectomy and posterior chamber intraocular lens (pciol) implantation with or without posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy in pediatric cataracts. methods: seventeen eyes of 12 children aged 10 to 15 years with congenital or developmental cataract were randomly divided into two groups. lensectomy and pciol implantation was p...

purpose: to compare the results of three-piece and one- piece hydrophobic acrylic posterior chamber intraocular lens (iol) with poly methyl metacrylate (pmma) iol implanted during lensectomy, posterior capsulotomy and anterior vitrectomy for congenital or developmental cataract. methods: this is a historical cohort study conducted on patients with congenital or developmental cataract who underw...

Posterior fossa emissary veins are valveless veins that pass through cranial apertures. They participate in extracranial venous drainage of the posterior fossa dural sinuses. The mastoid emissary vein, condylar veins, occipital emissary vein, and petrosquamosal sinus are the major posterior fossa emissary veins. We believe that posterior fossa emissary veins can be detected by radiologists befo...

INTRODUCTION: The range of motion (ROM) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is one of the most important factors for patient satisfaction, especially in Asian countries. To enhance the knee flexion angle, “highflexion” designs have been introduced in total knee prostheses. One of such design was a new design of femoral prosthesis, which increased the posterior cut on the bone by 2 mm and thicke...
