BACKGROUND This study compared clinical and radiological results between robotic total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and conventional TKA with a cruciate-retaining implant at 10-year follow-up. The hypothesis was that robotic TKA would allow for more accurate leg alignment and component placement, and thus enhance clinical and radiological results and long-term survival rates. METHODS A total of 11...

BACKGROUND This cadaveric study aimed to demonstrate variation of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tibial attachment in the sagittal plane, and to analyze the radiographic landmarks which predict the sagittal location of the ACL tibial attachment. METHODS In 20 cadaveric knees, native ACLs were removed and the centers of the ACL tibial and femoral attachments were marked with metal pins. ...

INTRODUCTION Little data is available on the relationship between sagittal spinopelvic parameters and health related quality of life (HRQOL) in osteoporotic patients. The aim of this study was to identify relationships between spinopelvic parameters and HRQOL in osteoporosis. MATERIAL AND METHODS The patient and control groups comprised 138 osteoporotic patients and 40 controls. All underwent...

Femoral shaft fractures are among the most prevalent of lower extremities in children. Although many approaches and options available for their treatment, appropriate treatment option school going children is still debatable. In this study 34 with femoral were recruited between Jan. 2018 Jan 2019 at Nangarhar university public health Hospital. which divided into two groups: (Group-A) immediate ...

We describe the ongoing development of a system to support the teaching of good posture and bowing technique to novice violin players. Using an inertial motion capture system we can track in real-time a player’s bowing action and how it deviates from a target trajectory set by their music teacher. The system provides real-time vibrotactile feedback on the correctness of the student’s posture an...

This thesis addresses sound production in bowed-string instruments from two perspectives: the physics of the bowed string, and bow control in performance. Violin performance is characterized by an intimate connection between the player and the instrument, allowing for a continuous control of the sound via the main bowing parameters (bow velocity, bow force and bowbridge distance), but imposing ...

Only very few cases of congenital anterolateral bowing of the fibula have been described in literature. We report a girl with congenital anterolateral bowing of the fibula with a 24 year follow-up. Asymptomatic bowing of her left leg below the knee was noted at the age of three years. Radiographs showed an isolated anterolateral bowing of the fibula with a normal ipsilateral tibia. Supervised n...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study is to compare and analyze the precision of optical and electromagnetic navigation systems in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively reviewed 60 patients who underwent TKA using an optical navigation system and 60 patients who underwent TKA using an electromagnetic navigation system from June 2010 to March 2012. The mechanical ...

Introduction Traumatic bowing is a commonly missed diagnosis on which only little information is available, inadequate treatment can cause permanent function loss. Method A systematic review would determine what the effect is of treatment of traumatic bowing of the lower arm in children on the functional outcome. A search on Embase, Medline, Web of Science, Scopus, Cochrane, Pubmed publisher,...

We present a probabilistic approach to modeling violin bowing gestures, for the purpose of synthesizing violin sound from a musical score. The gesture models are based on Gaussian processes, a principled probabilistic framework. Models for bow velocity, bow-bridge distance and bow force during a stroke are learned from training data of recorded bowing motion. From the models of bow motion durin...
