BACKGROUND A number of techniques are available for performing biceps tenodesis, the majority of which result in good or excellent outcomes. However, failure may result in pain and/or dissatisfying biceps deformity. PURPOSE To compare the clinical failure rates of 2 methods of suture passage in subpectoral biceps tenodesis with suture anchors performed by the senior author. STUDY DESIGN Coh...

BACKGROUND We have previously proposed a theoretical model for studying physical disability and other outcomes in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this paper is to test a model of impairment and functional limitation in (RA), using empirical data from a sample of RA patients. We based the model on the disablement process framework. METHODS We posited two distinct types of impairment ...

Rotational deformities are common lower extremity abnormalities in children. Rotational problems include in-toeing and out-toeing. In-toeing is caused by one of the three types of deformity: metatarsus adductus, internal tibial torsion, and increased femoral anteversion. Out-toeing is less common than intoeing, and its causes are similar but opposite to those of intoeing. These include femoral ...

The use of skull correction is controversial, and treatment recommendations reporting results vary. most commonly observed deformities the are: plagiocephaly, brachycephaly scaphocephaly. Treatment includes repositioning, physical therapy, orthotic with an adapted cranial remoulding orthosis (CRO). Positional plagiocephaly should be differentiated from torticollis, which also one main causes th...

Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the effect disease on quality life (QoL) in patients with not operated symptomatic hallux valgus (HV) and relationship between degree deformity classified by radiological parameters QoL. Methods: In prospective study, 100 (33 males, 67 females; mean age 49.25 ± 15.20 years; range 18 75 years) who were admitted our institution diagnosed HV Marc...

OBJECTIVE Asymmetrical skull deformity is frequently seen in children with cerebral palsy, and may contribute to postural abnormalities and deformities. The aim of this cross-sectional- survey was to determine the frequency of asymmetrical skull deformity and its correlation with clinical parameters. METHODS A 10-item checklist for asymmetrical skull deformity, postural abnormalities, and def...

objective:in this study, we assess long-term effects of vertical dome division (v.d.d) and suture techniques in patients with bulbous nose deformity and then compare the efficiency of these methods. material and methods: in this study 70 patients with bulbous nose deformity were divided into two equal groups of a and b in which group a with suture (transdomal and interdomal) technique and grou...

the purpose of this historical review is to summarize the work of paul of aegina and especially his contribution to the treatment of spine disorders and trauma. a major review of the literature was undertaken with emphasis on the treatise of paul himself as well as those of later scholars and historians. paul expanded the horizons of surgery of his time, using his talent to perform very complic...

Objective Spinal deformity related to Parkinson’s disease (PD) is severe. Due to reported high complication rate, some authors reported that PD deformity with no neurological symptoms should not undergo surgery and also reported deep brain stimulation (DBS) should be considered instead of corrective surgery for their postural disorders. However, almost of previous reports did not consider spino...
