e Bernese rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) was developed in 1983 (1) in order to prevent the development of arthrosis in young patients with hip dysplasia, and several reports on satisfactory results have subsequently been published (2–9). e RAO performed through the two most frequently used approaches, the ilioinguinal and Smith-Petersen, requires a broad dissection of the pelvic bones an...

Abdominoperineal resection is a standard method of low-rectum carcinoma treatment. It is associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates, which decreased with the development of preoperative diagnostic procedures, new surgical techniques and new surgical instruments. In this article, laparoscopic pelvic peritonization was used after laparoscopic rectum amputation for low-rectum carcin...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of pelvic adjustment using Gonstead techniques on posture in female university students. [Subjects] In this study, 30 female university students were selected and divided into a pelvic adjustment group of 15 subjects as an experimental group and a stretching group of 15 subjects as a control group. [Methods] Step length difference (...

Background: Pelvic masses are quite common presentation of gynecological pathology. Ultrasonography (USG) is accepted as the primary imaging modality in the evaluation of pelvic masses, and provides the necessary information to plan out the right therapeutic approach required in the given situation. This study was conducted with a view to find out the diagnostic value of USG, color Doppler stud...

AIM Extranodal mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) arises a number of epithelial tissues, including the stomach, salivary gland, lung, small bowel, and elsewhere. Here we present a male patient with an uncommon site of extranodal MALT such as a pelvic mass diagnosed after a long period of evaluation, which initially presented with an incidental pulmonary nodule. METHOD We report a 60 yea...

Objective. The purpose of this study was to investigate the reliability of a digital pelvic inclinometer (DPI) for measuring sagittal plane pelvic tilt in 18 young, healthy males and females. Method. The inter-rater reliability and test-re-test reliabilities of the DPI for measuring pelvic tilt in standing on both the right and left sides of the pelvis were measured by two raters carrying out t...

Pelvic fractures do not occur frequently in horses, and reports of incidence range from 0.9% to 4.4%. Despite this low incidence, many equine practitioners will, at some point in time, be faced with determining a diagnosis, a prognosis, or formulating a treatment regimen based on their impressions of fracture severity. Because the equine pelvis is a complex anatomic structure, the diagnosis of ...

[Purpose] This study was conducted to examine the effect of pelvic stabilization exercise and 3D equipment exercise on adult women with Functional Leg-Length Discrepancy (FLLD). [Subjects and Methods] Twenty female students in their 20's having FLLD without Structural Leg Length Discrepancy were selected. Exercise was performed for 50 min per session, three times a week, for six weeks. The Pelv...

Cases Transarterial embolization of bilateral internal iliac arteries (TAE) is a useful hemostatic method for the management of pelvic fracture patients, but its effects on urinary functions remain unclear. In this study, we evaluated the impact of TAE on lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) in 10 pelvic fracture patients. Outcomes Lower urinary tract symptoms before and after hospitalization ...

Because of the minimal soft tissue injury, the laparoscopic-assisted internal fixation is a promising technique in fixing the pelvic anterior ring fracture. The aim of this study was to investigate the biomechanical performance of the laparoscopic-assisted plate by the finite element method. Four kinds of implants were investigated, that is, the laparoscopic-assisted plate (LAP), the percutaneo...
