The use of hip arthroscopy to treat various forms of hip pathology continues to grow. As part of a standard evaluation for eligibility for hip arthroscopy, we routinely obtain standard radiographs to assess the hip joint. These include orthogonal projections of the acetabulum and proximal femur, which can be obtained with a standing false profile, supine anteroposterior pelvis, and a lateral vi...

We took posteroanterior weight-bearing radiographs, both with the joint fully extended and in 30 degrees of flexion, in a consecutive series of 50 knees in 37 patients referred for the primary assessment of pain and/or stiffness. These radiographs were reported 'blind' both by an orthopaedic surgeon and a radiologist. Direct measurement of the joint space, together with grading of the severity ...

A 57-year-old male with a history of diabetes mellitus, hepatitis C, and intravenous drug abuse presented to the emergency department complaining of abdominal pain of three months duration that had worsened in the week prior to presentation. Review of systems was significant for back pain, nausea, and fever. The patient’s physical examination demonstrated a diffusely tender abdomen in addition ...

A 77-year-aged male patient without a remarkable medical history underwent colonoscopy because of chronic constipation and colon cancer family history. Colonoscopy failed at the 50 cm from the anal verge by the presence of bleeding from the proximal site of the colon. While retracting endoscope adipose tissue of retroperitoneum appeared. The lumen of the colon was collapsed (blue arrow) and imm...

Background: Nephrolithiasis is a widespread disease with an incidence of 17-13 in North American, 5-9% Europe, and 1-5% the Asian continent. Plain abdominal radiography used to visualize renal stones, but cysteine stones are often poorly visible, uric acid mixed not visible at all. The second diagnostic tool for diagnosis calculus computed tomography. CT scout film overlooked did use purpose.&#...

PURPOSE To compare the diagnostic accuracy of radiography, to radiography equivalent dose multidetector computed tomography (RED-MDCT) and to radiography equivalent dose cone beam computed tomography (RED-CBCT) for wrist fractures. METHODS As study subjects we obtained 10 cadaveric human hands from body donors. Distal radius, distal ulna and carpal bones (n = 100) were artificially fractured ...

BACKGROUND Accurate diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis is difficult on the basis of clinical examination only because the signs and symptoms of sinusitis are nonspecific. A simple, rapid, and readily available method for diagnosing maxillary sinusitis in primary care would increase the accuracy of the diagnoses and thus reduce unnecessary antibiotic treatment. OBJECTIVE To investigate the valid...
