computer model of the patellofemoral joint was developed and the effects on the anterior displacement of the tibial tuberosity were investigated. the input geometrical and verification data for the model were obtained form an experimental study on a cadaver knee, mounted in an instron machine. the computer program found the configuration of the patellofemoral joint which satified both the geome...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective comparative clinical case series. OBJECTIVE Burst C2 fractures are very rare. Treatment options include conservative treatment or fusion (anterior, posterior, or anterior and posterior). Anterior fusion addresses mainly hangman component. The bursting body usually needs posterior or combined anterior-posterior fusion, but both permanently sacrifice atlantoaxial moti...

BACKGROUND Prior studies that have concluded that disk degeneration uniformly precedes facet degeneration have been based on convenience samples of individuals with low back pain. We conducted a study to examine whether the view that spinal degeneration begins with the anterior spinal structures is supported by epidemiologic observations of degeneration in a community-based population. METHOD...

Aberrant ventricular conduction was induced in 44 subjects by introduction of atrial premature beats through a transvenous catheter-electrode. Multiple patterns of aberrant ventricular conduction were obtained in 32 patients and, in the whole group, 116 different configurations were recorded. Of these, 104 showed a classical pattern of mono- or biventricular conduction disturbance. The pattern ...
