Conventional osteotomy used for the correction of deformity is performed out of the plane of deformity creating a wedge either opening or closing when the deformity is corrected. Deformity that is a combination of rotation and angulation exists in a single plane that is oblique to the coronal, sagittal and axial planes depending on the magnitude of deformity measured in each plane. Accurate pla...

This study investigated the existence of association between the angulation of the styloid process on the anterior and medial directions with the intensity of temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD) symptoms. Fifty patients (8 men and 42 women) aged 25 to 70 years, with relevant TMD symptoms were evaluated. Clinical examinations were performed to determine the severity of TMD symptoms (orofacial pa...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors that influence residual angulation after treating pediatric distal tibial diaphyseal fractures. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the records of 75 children under the age of ten who were treated at two referral centers for distal tibial diaphyseal fractures. The mean patient age was 6.8 ± 2.3 years, and the mean follow-up dura...

background: this study aimed to investigate the pedicle dimension and angulation in cervicothoracic junction (ctj) using the findings of computed tomographic (ct) to help accurate insertion of pedicular screw. methods: forty three patients with high quality ct images of ctj were evaluated. pedicle width (pw), pedicle height (ph), pedicle axis length (pal), transverse angle (ta) and sagittal ang...

BACKGROUND We sought to determine if angulation or translation measured on the lateral preoperative injury radiographs of patients with 31A2 pertrochanteric fractures is related to excessive postoperative shortening when treated with a sliding hip screw. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the radiographs of consecutive patients with hip fractures treated at a level I university trauma centre...

Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a complex genetic disease with marked morphofunctional heterogeneity. Some HCM patients develop obstructive symptoms later in life, long after cessation of hypertrophic progression. The mechanism underlying this phenomenon is poorly understood. It is known that aorto-septal angulation progresses with age. However, the relationship between age, sep...

Camptomelic dwarfism or dysplas1a is a rare syndrome in which· short stature is associated with angulation and bowing of the lower limb Long bones, hypoplasia of the facial bones and scapula and various other skeletal and respiratory and nervous system. A 9 day old girl with this syndrome was admitted in our peiatric Department, Loghman Hospital medical center because of Dwarfism and hypotonia....
