Background: The valgus cut angle (VCA) of the distal femur in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is measured preoperativelyon three-joint alignment radiographs. The anatomical axis of the femur can be described as the anatomical axis of thefull length of the femur or as the anatomical axis of the distal half of the femur, which may result in different anglesin some cases. During TKA, the anatomical ...

 Abstract Introduction: external nasal walls are  an important factor  in the drainage or obstruction of the ostiomeatal complex, therfor  anatomical variations in the nasal cavity can elevate the risk of pathological sinus conditions. The aim of this study is to evaluate anatomical variations of paranasal sinuses and nasal cavities using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and ...

Acquaintance with the different anatomical variations of the arterial supply of the gallbladder is of great importance in hepatobiliary surgical procedures. A rare variation of the hepatobiliary arterial system was found during anatomical dissection of a female Iranian cadaver. Two cystic arteries were present, the first arising directly from the right hepatic artery and the second from the gas...

  The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is composed of two bundles, which work together to provide both antero-posterior and rotatory stability of the knee. Understanding the anatomy and function of the ACL plays a key role in management of patients with ACL injury. Anatomic ACL reconstruction aims to restore the function of the native ACL. Femoral and tibial tunnels should be placed in their an...

Introduction: Medical undergraduates usually understand and memorize anatomical course material with difficulty. Also, the current text books and atlases of anatomy and histology do not fulfill all the learning needs of the undergraduates. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the role of internet websites and computer programs (i.e. the role of electronic learning) in teaching....

abstract a greenhouse experiment was conducted to study the effects of soil copper (cu) and salinity application on photosynthesis parameters, enzyme activity and anatomical structure of two pistachio cultivars. a factorial greenhouse experiment was carried out as completely randomized design with three replications. treatments consisted of four cu levels (0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 mg kg-1soil as cuso...
