Atlanto-axial rotatory subluxation is a rare condition in childhood. A sudden onset of pain and limitation in neck movements are the most common presenting features. Usually, a previous trauma history exists. This study presents a case of an 18-month-old male with neck stiffness and pain in neck through palpation without trauma in his history but with rotatory subluxation of 30° in atlanto-axia...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to evaluate publicly available information of chiropractic technique systems that advocate radiography for subluxation detection to identify links between chiropractic technique systems and to describe claims made of the health effects of the osseous misalignment component of the chiropractic subluxation and radiographic paradigms. METHODS The Internet ...

 Materials Methods: included 105 knees that had undergone UKA. Knee Score, EQ-5D-3LD visual analog scale, injury Osteoarthritis Outcome Score were evaluated. Radiological evaluati...

BACKGROUND Radial-head subluxation is an easily identified and treated injury. We investigated whether triage nurses in the emergency department can safely reduce radial-head subluxation at rates that are not substantially lower than those of emergency department physicians. METHODS We performed an open, noninferiority, cluster-randomized control trial. Children aged 6 years and younger who p...

PURPOSE To investigate the rate of lens subluxation following plasmin and/or SF6 injections in eyes, and whether a subsequent elevated level of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and vitreous tap would aggravate subluxation. METHODS Four groups of rabbits were used. Group 1 received an intravitreal injection (IVI) of plasmin and SF6 in the right eye; group 2 received an IVI of plasmin ...

conclusions in cases of unusual vascular lesions, metabolic diseases must be considered. in homocystinuria, early diagnosis and treatment are important. blood homocysteine levels can be returned to normal, and some complications can be prevented. introduction homocystinuria is a hereditary disease caused by a defect in the enzymes involved in metabolizing methionine. homocystinuria can influenc...

OBJECTIVE Subluxation of the shoulder after stroke can be measured according to the method described by Van Langenberghe and Hogan. METHODS To evaluate the reliability of this method, the shoulder radiographs of 25 patients were available for this study. Two independent raters each assessed these radiographs twice. RESULTS The intrarater reliability was good: percentage of agreement was 88 ...

Subluxation of the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIPJ or pastern joint) is an uncommon condition that occurs in the forelimb or hindlimb. Thoroughbred racehorses rarely show dorsal pastern subluxation (Thoroughbred ringbone) secondarily to an injury to the soft tissues supporting the fetlock. A 4-year-old Thoroughbred mare was presented with signs of lameness, swelling of the dorsal aspect of...
