BACKGROUND/AIMS Among the various weakening techniques of inferior oblique muscle overaction, the most commonly used techniques include myectomy, recession, and anterior transposition. Anterior transposition and myectomy were compared to evaluate the surgical results in inferior oblique overaction. METHODS 20 children with bilateral +3 overacting inferior oblique muscles underwent a prospecti...

background: ligament reconstruction is a common procedure in orthopedic surgery. although several popular techniques are currently in use, new methods are proposed for secure fixation of the tendon graft into the bone tunnel. purposes: we sought to introduce our new technique of bashti bone plug for fixation of soft tissue graft in anterior cruciate ligament (acl) reconstruction and to compare ...

Evaluation of the Diagnostic Accuracy Tests Used for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries: A Narrative Review

Two opposing views are held regarding the nature of congenital inguinal hernia, one championed by Hamilton Russel and the other by Sir Arthur Keith. Russell believes that the presence of a developmental pocket of peritoneum is all that is required to produce a hernia. But in mammals, other than man, the cavity of the processus vaginalis remains patent throughout life, and in them congenital ing...

introduction: analysis of smile is one of the esthetic evaluations in dentistry. in the present study, gla, lid, the long axis position and the oblique axial angle of each tooth were evaluated. materials and methods: in this cross-sectional analytical study, 80 subjects with properly-aligned teeth and healthy periodontium were selected. a digital camera was to take photos of lip areas in unifor...

BACKGROUND Knee joint sagittal plane forces are a proposed mechanism of anterior cruciate ligament injury during sport movements such as sidestep cutting. Ligament force magnitudes for these movements however, remain unknown. The need to examine injury-causing events suggests elucidation via model-based investigations is possible. Using this approach, the current study determined whether sagitt...

Neurocognitive motor tasks have been shown to have an effective relationship with athletic performance and musculoskeletal injuries. Cognitive changes following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery may lead to adverse knee biomechanical changes and an increased risk of secondary injury. This study aimed to compare the kinetics of athletes with a history of ACL reconstruction and th...

BACKGROUND Anatomical reconstruction techniques that can restore normal joint kinematics without increasing surgical complications could potentially improve clinical outcomes and help manage anterior cruciate ligament injuries more efficiently. HYPOTHESIS Single-tunnel double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with anatomical placement of hamstring tendon graft can more closely ...

Abnormal anterior translation of the femur on the tibia has been observed in mid flexion (20-60 degrees ) following posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty. The underlying biomechanical causes of this abnormal motion remain unknown. The purpose of this study was to isolate the effects of posterior cruciate ligament removal on knee motion after total knee arthroplasty. We posed two question...

BACKGROUND The effectiveness of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction for restoring normal knee kinematics is largely unknown, particularly during sports movements generating large, rapidly applied forces. HYPOTHESIS Under dynamic in vivo loading, significant differences in 3-dimensional kinematics exist between anterior cruciate ligament-reconstructed knees and the contralateral, uninjur...
