BACKGROUND MRI is the standard methodology in diagnosis of rotator cuff diseases. However, many patients continue to have pain despite treatment, and MRI of a static unloaded shoulder seems insufficient for best diagnosis and treatment. This study evaluated if Dynamic MRI provides novel kinematic data that can be used to improve the understanding, diagnosis and best treatment of rotator cuff di...

OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare the results of open Bankart repair versus those of modified Bristow operation in patients with recurrent anterior dislocations of the shoulder, the last of which was caused by a minor trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study included 38 patients (34 (89.5%) male and 4 (10.5%) female) who presented recurrent dislocation of the shoulders with c...

Background and Objective: Intraoperative consultation by frozen section is a high – risk procedure with important consequences. Therefore, it is critical to determine efficiency of frozen section performance periodically. This study was performed to determine the accuracy of frozen section in Urmia University of Medical Sciences. Materials & Methods:Inthis cross sectional study, we compared th...

Frozen section and touch imprint cytology are important diagnostic procedures for surgeons during operation and must be accurate if the patient is to receive maximum benefit. To assess the accuracy of intraoperative pathologic consultation including frozen section and touch imprint cytology during a five year period (1995- 2000), a retrospective survey of 1000 consecutive cases of frozen s...
