PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to find out the differences of distal femur morphology between the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured and the non-ACL injured on an magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the difference of bone structure by gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS MRI Measurements of notch width (NW), bicondylar width (BCW), medial condyle width (MCW), lateral condyle width (LCW...

Heterochrony has been invoked to explain differences in the morphology of modern humans as compared to other great apes. The distal femur is one area where heterochrony has been hypothesized to explain morphological differentiation among Plio-Pleistocene hominins. This hypothesis is evaluated here using geometric morphometric data to describe the ontogenetic shape trajectories of extant hominin...

A 13-year-old gelding was referred to the University of Liverpool Equine Hospital for further investigation ataxia and neck pain following a suspected traumatic incident in field 5 days prior. The case report documents clinical presentation, ultrasonographic, radiographic computed tomographic (CT) findings right lateral atlanto-occipital (AO) subluxation. In brief, presentation included abnorma...

We treated 13 patients who had a fixed valgus deformity of the knee with a semiconstrained total knee arthroplasty combined with advancement of the lateral collateral ligament by means of a lateral femoral condylar sliding osteotomy. At follow-up of between one and 6.5 years all patients were assessed using the Knee Society score. The mean knee score improved from 32 to 88 and the functional sc...

Clinical limitations following closed reduction of an intracapsular condylar fracture include a decrease in maximum mouth opening, reduced range of mandibular movements such as protrusion/lateral excursion, and reduced occlusal stability. Anteromedial and inferior displacement of the medial condyle fragment by traction of the lateral pterygoid muscle can induce bone overgrowth due to distractio...

We constructed a small number superposition graph by computer program on a cephalometric laminagraph of five adult men and five periodontal patients who have all their teeth of maxillo-mandibular. Research was done on the sideway movements of the non-working side of the condyle which are fixed to be 1 mm, 2 mm and 3 mm quantitative lateral movement in anterior. These results are as follows: 1. ...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of comorbid knee pathology has been examined for sports-related anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, but it has not been examined in ice hockey players. PURPOSE To compare concomitant bone bruising, collateral ligament injuries, and intra-articular injuries in ACL injuries suffered during ice hockey versus other sports. STUDY DESIGN Cross-sectional study; Lev...
