Lower limbs are normally the first contacted body region during car-pedestrian accidents, and easily suffer serious injuries. The previous tibia bending tolerances for pedestrian safety were mainly developed from three-point bending tests on tibia mid-shaft. The tibia tolerances of other locations are still not investigated enough. In addition, tibia loading condition under the car-pedestrian i...

INTRODUCTION This study examined the bone density around the fixation area during knee ligament reconstructions and assessed how this clinical relevance can be applied to a firm construction for a reconstructed ligament. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty consecutive patients (25 healthy men and 25 healthy women) were enrolled in this study. A quantitative computed tomography was used to determine t...

BACKGROUND Because there is an insufficient supply of young human knees, an alternative is needed for evaluating anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions. The authors determined whether an elderly human tibia reinforced with foam is a better substitute for a young human tibia than a porcine tibia in this study of the tibialfixation of a soft tissue anterior cruciate ligament graft using 3 dev...

background: floating knee, referred to as ipsilateral fractures of the femur and tibia, is usually associated with several complications and mortality. this study was designed to present our experience with treatment of this injury throughout; age, sex, mechanism of injury, associated injuries, method and results of treatment, and complications of floating knee are discussed. materials and meth...

height measurement is an important part of nutritional assessment especially in children. however, in such cases as hospitalized or certain kinds of malformations or disabilities, height cannot be measured accurately. we aimed to determine appropriate height predictors in iranian healthy children for further use in disabled and/or hospitalized children. a total of 730 apparently healthy childre...

The commonly used extensive approaches to the distal tibia include the posteromedial and anterolateral approaches. The current report describes several cases performed using this technique establishing a rationale and safe zone for performing a transfibular approach to the distal tibia. The advantages of such approach are the excellent visualization of the lateral tibia and the articular space....

a 48-year-old man referred with pain and swelling at the upper and middle third of left tibia with a history of previous os­seous hydatid disease three years ago. despite surgical procedure which was performed in this case, recurrence was ob­served and repeated exploration with wide resection and oral medical therapy were recommended. bone hydatid cyst is an uncommon disease with difficult resp...

Introduction: Intramedullary nailing (IMN) of high tibia fracture has some mechanical and biological advantages over the other form of fixation. However, valgus, apex anterior malalignment and anterior displacement of proximal fragment commonly occur after isolated IMN fixation of proximal high tibia fracture. The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using 3.5-mm locking c...

Background: Distal tibia fractures are among the most common bony injuries, with a significant rate of nonunion anddelayed union. There are multiple methods for the management of distal tibia fractures. Among the plating methods,there are bridge plating and compression plating techniques. There is still a lack of evidence about whether one methodhas a higher rate of union than...
