IMPORTANCE Recognition of posterior scleral bowing with choroidal nevus is essential to avoid an underestimation of tumor thickness. OBJECTIVE To describe a particular observation of posterior scleral bowing associated with choroidal nevus on enhanced-depth imaging (EDI) optical coherence tomography (OCT). DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective observational case series at a referr...

Blount disease is an acquired growth disorder of the medial aspect of the proximal tibial physis, epiphysis and metaphysis. Infantile Blount disease present with bowing and length discrepancy in the lower limbs. The deformed medial tibial metaphysis represent as nontender bony protuberance can be palpated along the medial aspect of the proximal tibia. Here, we present an 18-month-old boy presen...

We present a novel model to describe conduction band of GaNxAs1−x (GaNAs). As well known, GaNAs shows exotic behavior such as large band gap bowing. Although there are various models to describe the conduction band of GaNAs, origin of the band gap bowing is still under debate. On the basis of perturbation theory, we show that the behavior of conduction band is mainly arising from intervalley mi...

String players spend a significant amount of practice time creating and learning bowings. These may be indicated in the music using up-bow and down-bow symbols, but those traditional notations do not capture the complex bowing patterns that are latent within the music. Regular expressions, a mathematical notation for a simple class of formal languages, can describe precisely the bowing patterns...

Due to the existence of different races and ethnicities and their different life styles, anatomical structure of people vary from one region of the world to another. The goal of this study is to determine the anterior femoral bowing to length ratio, which can be useful for planning major medical and therapeutic projects as well as designing medical equipment (including nails, orthoses and prost...

Congenital anterolateral bowing of the tibia is a rare deformity that may lead to pseudarthrosis and risk of fracture. This is commonly associated with neurofibromatosis type 1. In this report, we describe a 15-month old male with congenital anterolateral bowing of the right tibia and associated hallux duplication. This is a distinct entity with a generally favourable prognosis that should not ...

BACKGROUND There is no accepted landmark for the mechanical axis of the femoral axis in sagittal plane in conventional total knee arthroplasty. METHODS As palpable anatomic landmarks of the femur, lateral epicondyle, and anterior margin of the greater trochanter were identified. The line connecting these two landmarks was defined as the "palpable sagittal axis". The mechanical axis of the fem...

Radial head dislocation associated with plastic bowing of the ulna is classified as a Monteggia equivalent lesion. This injury in children can be treated by closed reduction, but manipulative reduction may not completely correct plastic bowing of the ulna. We encountered two cases of incomplete reduction in which the radial head was reduced in a supination position, but redislocated during rota...

OBJECTIVES Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) frequently leads to long-bone bowing requiring a surgical intervention in severe cases to avoid subsequent fractures. However, there are no objective criteria to decide when to perform such intervention. The objective is to develop a finite element model to predict the risk of tibial fracture associated with tibia deformity in patients with OI. METHODS ...
