introduction: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of prednisolone on the sensitivity of bone scanning to detect the simulated closed fracture in the rat tibia.  methods: a total number of forty eight adult, male nmri rats randomly assigned into two parts, one part for 4 and other for 8 weeks experiments. each part has been divided into four groups, one group not receivi...

Caryanda zheminzhengi sp. n. is described and illustrated from Thailand. The new species similar to C. beybienkoi Storozhenko, 2005 but differs by the cingular valves of penis equal apical completely red hind tibia, while in distinctly longer than tibia blue red.

Congenital deficiency of the tibia (tibial hemimelia, aplasia, or dysplasia) also known as long bone deficiency is a rare and severe lower limb malformation, with an incidence of approximately 1:1,000,000 live births. It is characterized by lack of part or the entire tibia, with relatively intact fibula. Usually the affected leg is rotated externally and the ventral surface of the foot faces th...

In order to provide scientific and empirical evidence for the clinical application of the polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate, 80 human tibias from healthy adults were scanned by spiral CT and their three-dimensional images were reconstructed using the surface shaded display (SSD) method. Firstly, based on the geometric data of distal tibia, a polyaxial self-locking anatomical plate for dis...

PURPOSE To identify and quantify the presence of extra-articular tibia vara that might influence the mechanical axis alignment after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 48 TKAs in 30 osteoarthritic Indian patients were prospectively evaluated. The hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA), joint line convergence angle, and varus angulation at the femur and tibia were measured fro...

PURPOSE To compare different cephalocaudal angles of the X-ray beam in measuring internal rotation of the proximal tibia that best demonstrates the safe zone. METHODS 10 pairs of embalmed, disarticulated knee joints from 10 cadavers were used. Soft tissues around the proximal tibia and the proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) were dissected to reveal the articular cartilage. A narrow area betwe...

background: total knee arthroplasty is a complex procedure aiming to relieve pain and improve function. it is critical to select prosthesis that best cover the bone surfaces. ethnicity may affect fitness of the components mainly designed for caucasian populations. this study aimed to evaluate morphometric features of proximal tibia in iranian population.   methods : during 2013, 150 consecutive...

this research project was conducted to evaluate bioavailability and chemical properties of different zinc sources in broiler chickens when fed by practical diets. for that, 312 day-old male ross 308 broiler chicks were fed from 8-28 day to estimate the biological availability of four zinc sources. chicks were allocated randomly to 13 experimental diets in a 3 × 4 factorial design. diets include...
