Background: The purpose of the present study was to investigate correlative and predictive relationship of lower extremity anatomical alignment, isometric hip abduction and external rotation strength with jump-landing biomechanics using Landing Error Scoring System (LESS). Methods: Anatomical alignment and isometric lower extremity muscle strength of 30 active...

    Background: Evaluating the landmarks for rotation of the distal femur is a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Although the posterior femoral condyle axis is a good landmark for surgeons, the surgical transepicondylar axis may be a better option with the help of preoperative CT scanning. The purpose of this study was to ascertain relationships among the axes’ guiding distal femur rotational ...

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 ...

normal axial alignment restoration in lower extremities is crucial for surgeons performing reconstructive surgeries. since reference normal values of axial alignment are affected by age, sex, and ethical issues, we tried to scrutinize these parameters in iranian adults and compare them with normal values in literatures. through a cross-sectional design, standing axial alignment views of lower e...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the indirect alignment of two anatomical ontologies through a reference ontology and to compare it to direct alignment between these two ontologies. The ontologies under investigation are the Adult Mouse Anatomical Dictionary (MA) and the NCI Thesaurus (NCI). The Foundational Model of Anatomy serves as reference ontology. METHODS The direct alignment employs a combina...

Previously we introduced an automated high-dimensional non-linear registration framework, CVS, that combines volumetric and surface-based alignment to achieve robust and accurate correspondence in both cortical and sub-cortical regions (Postelnicu et al., 2009). In this paper we show that using CVS to compute cross-subject alignment from anatomical images, then applying the previously computed ...

Background: In the challenging tibial condyle fractures despite anatomical joint reconstruction, development ofosteoarthritis may still occur secondary to the initial articular cartilage and meniscal injury. The aim of the study wasto know incidence of osteoarthritis in our operated cases of tibial plateau fracture and to evaluate functional outcome.Methods: Our operated 60 patients of tibial p...
