BackgroundNumerous papers have been published examining risk factors for revision of primary total hip arthroplasty (THA), but there have been no comprehensive systematic literature reviews that summarize the most recent findings across a broad range of potential predictors.MethodsWe performed a PubMed search for papers published between January, 2...

BackgroundThe aims of this study were to evaluate the associated injuries occurring with acute perilunate instability and to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of perilunate dislocations and fracture–dislocations treated with a combined dorsal and volar approach.MethodsA total of 45 patients (46 wrist injuries) with perilunate dislocatio...

Acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocations are common in young, active patients. In case of surgical indications, Rockwood type IV, type V and selected type III dislocation, we use modified Phemister procedure. At mid-term follow-up, by an average of 35.1 months, we reassessed the records of 14 patients surgically treated for acute AC dislocation fr...

IntroductionThe surgical management of neglected developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in walking children has always been a challenge to orthopedic surgeons. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short- to middle-term clinical and radiographic results of the management of DDH.Patients and methodsPatients less than 6 years old using two of t...

PurposeTo suggest a new model on the most common kind of posterior elbow dislocation using MRI findings on acute elbow injuries.MethodsFifteen patients with simple elbow dislocation (Group A) and 19 patients sustaining pure ligament injuries (Group B) were enrolled in this study. Using MRI scans, bony contusion at radial head and posterior capitell...

The anomalous temperature dependence of the period of a torsional oscillator (TO) containing solid helium can be explained by the dislocation-vibration model. Namely, the dislocations in solid helium vibrate in phase with the torsional oscillation and the TO-period change varies as the square of the average dislocation pinning length which becomes ...

Temporomandibular joint disorders (TMDs) are common and may cause temporomandibular joint (TMJ) locking, pain, and disability. Evidence supports use of manual therapy and exercise for treatment of TMDs including disk displacement limiting full mouth opening, TMJ 'closed lock'. Only limited case studies describe management of TMJ 'open lock', a cond...

A year after the right total hip replacement for primary osteoarthritis of the hip, a patient presented to the hospital with dislocation of femoral head from the acetabulum and dissociation of the head–neck junction after a trivial rotational movement of the lower limb. While waiting for the surgery, spontaneous reduction in dislocated femoral head...

ZnO films deposited on Si substrates by the sol-gel process were characterized by transmission electron microscopy and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to investigate the effect of annealing temperature (550°C and 800°C) on their microstructures and compositions. When the ZnO film was annealed at a temperature of 800°C, excess Zn atoms was form...

PurposeIn this retrospective study we investigated the clinical and radiological outcome after operative treatment of acute Rockwood III-V injuries of the AC-joint using two acromioclavicular (AC) cerclages and one coracoclavicular (CC) cerclage with resorbable sutures.MethodsBetween 2007 and 2009 a total of 39 patients fit the inclusion criteria a...
