Introduction: Improving the postoperative knee motion in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has become a major goal for orthopaedic surgeons and joint prosthesis. The effect of the implant posterior condylar offset has recently generated much enthusiasm among researchers. [1] Some reports were concerned about the relationship between the posterior condylar offset and an extension gap. However, the p...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to investigate sex differences in resected distal femoral morphology in Chinese osteoarthritic knees. METHODS The study included 130 osteoarthritic knees in 65 men and 65 women in China. None had anterior femoral osteophyte or serious patellar femoral joint degeneration. The following were measured using computed tomography and analyzed to identify mor...

RATIONALE Epithelioid angiosarcoma (EAS) is an extremely rare malignant disease, which accounts no more than 1% of all soft tissue sarcomas. In this article, we would report a new case of EAS with multiple bone destruction and right femoral pathological fracture, which was an even rarer manifestation of EAS. PATIENT CONCERNS In this case, a 64-year-old man with right femoral fracture was repo...

Aims: Condylar region of the mandible is the most vulnerable site to fracture due to its anatomical weakness. It has been noted that mandibular third molars may reduce the occurrence of condylar fractures. This study was conducted to verify this hypothesis. Materials and methods: This retrospective study of records of 147 mandibular fracture patients treated during 5 year period during 2008 to ...

The incidence of fractures involving the mandibular condyle are stated by most authors to be the second-most common type of fracture of the mandible with male-female ratio 2:1. Condylar fracture may results in restricted mouth opening, restricted movement of the jaw and malocclusion, Mal-occlusion following condylar trauma may result from alteration in the condylar growth center or union of the...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the rate of deviation in the lateral radiographic incidence in patients with femoral neck fracture classified as non-diverted in the anteroposterior view (Garden I and II). METHODS Nineteen selected patients with femoral neck fractures classified as Garden I and II were retrospectively evaluated, estimating the degree of deviation in the lateral view. RESULTS Fifteen c...

OBJECTIVES The treatment of condylar fractures has long been controversial. In this paper, we established a database for accurate measurement, storage, management and analysis of patients' data, in order to help determine the best treatment plan. METHODS First of all, the diagnosis and treatment database was established based on XNAT, including 339 cases of condylar fractures and their relate...

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...

Currently, there is no objective indicator for surgical procedures in elderly patients with femoral neck fractures. The purpose of this study was to determine the severity of damage to the retinacula of Weitbrecht based on the type of femoral neck fracture, anatomical and clinical observations. Data from 44 patients treated with artificial femoral head replacement were analyzed for the associat...
