The purpose of this anatomical study was to explore the morphological variations of the semitendinosus and gracilis tendons in length and cross-section and the statistical relationship between length, cross-section, and body height. We studied the legs of 93 humans in 136 cadavers. In 43 specimens (46.2%) it was possible to harvest the tendons from both legs. We found considerable differences i...

Background: Proximal femur fractures are prevalent among the elderly and associated with substantial morbidity,mortality, and early readmission. Early readmission is gaining popularity as a measure of quality of hospital care and canlower reimbursement. A better understanding of the patient and treatment characteristics associated with readmissionmay help inform program improvement initiatives....

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the fetal biometric growth measurements (Head Circumference, Bi-Parietal Diameter, and Femur Length) between male female fetuses on antenatal ultrasound in our population. Methodology: This an observational carried out Department Radiology CMH Malir, Karachi Ziauddin hospital, from July 2016 till 2018 using non-probability sampling technique. A to...

Background: Acquiring knowledge about anatomic and geometric quantities of bones is among the most vitalparameters in orthopedic surgery that has a significant effect on the treatment of various disorders and subsequentoutcomes. The aim of this study was to obtain anthropometric information for distal femur in order to compare withsimilar dimensions of prosthesis used in total...

BACKGROUND/AIM Unstable intertrochanteric (IT) fractures, especially fractures with a reverse or transverse fracture line, have tendencies to make significant impaction on shortening of the femoral neck and lower extremity. The biomechanical complexity of the fracture, the type and the position of the implant are known to influence postoperative outcome. The aim of this study was to compare cha...

Introduction: Technical difficulties in managing a case of transcervical femur fracture post-polio residual paralysis patient with dysplastic femur. Case Report: We present 66 year male Post-Polio Paralysis walking Hand to knee gait who sustained Femur fracture. The faced this were narrow medullary canal, coxa valgus, greater trochanter, hypoplastic lesser Shallow acetabulum, inability compare ...

Many techniques have been employed to facilitate intramedullary nailing of femur fractures. Maintaining limb length during the operation can be difficult. The authors describe the use of distal femoral fine wire skeletal traction as a technique to maintain reduction while allowing intramedullary nailing of femur fractures. This technique is safe, is effective, and negates the need for a fractur...
