Abstract
We detected it in two of our dissections (9%). We found a peroneus quinti in four of our dissections. We also found an extraordinary ligamentous structure that runs between the distal lateral process of the calcaneus and the inferior peroneal retinaculum in 12 of our dissections. A single form of th...

Abstract
Inter-test reliability and inter-rater reliability are excellent, with intra-class correlation coefficient of 0.93 (0.88-0.96) and 0.94 (0.90-0.96), respectively. Under a convergent hypothesis, the Spearman's correlation coefficients with the CMS and DASH score are 0.91 (p < 0.0001) and -0.64 (p < 0...

Abstract
The upper ankle joint is one of the target-joints of the haemophilic patient. Therefore, the secondary arthritis of the upper ankle joint is one of the most frequent forms of haemophilic arthropathy. It is a secondary form of arthritis not only because of chronic synovitis and cartilage injury resul...

Abstract
A 75-year-old male presented with groin pain after an operation to treat lumbar spondylolisthesis (L5). Groin tenderness was localized to the medial border of the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). Radiographical and physical examination raised the suspicion of sacroiliac joint (SIJ) dysfunction....

Abstract
The efficacy of biologics targeting inflammatory cytokines such as TNF and IL-6 for bone and joint diseases has been emerging. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic synovitis and bone damage. By the use of TNF-inhibitors, clinical remission, structural r...

Abstract
The infrapatellar fat pad or Hoffa's fat pad is a cylindrical extrasynovial collection of fat located in the infrapatellar region. Anatomical, biomechanical and imaging data show that the infrapatellar fat pad constitutes a true crossroads between patella, femur and tibia and helps in understanding...

Abstract
Clinical history and patient examination are mandatory to correctly order shoulder imaging. The choice of the imaging modality will depend on different factors. Is the shoulder stable or instable? Was there a traumatic history or simply repetitive microtraumas? Is the A-C joint electively tender? Ge...

Abstract
Of all the joints in the human body, the shoulder has the greatest range of motion. This allows complex movements and functions to be carried out, and is of vital importance to the activities of daily living and work. Any restriction or pain that involves the joint puts a huge amount of strain on pa...

Abstract
Pseudotumor-like reactions can be caused by high wear, but may also occur around implants with low wear, likely because of a metal hypersensitivity reaction. Histologic features including synovial integrity, inflammatory cell infiltrates, tissue organization, and metal particles may help differentia...

Abstract
SUMMARY: Hemophilic arthropathy is one of the conditions most associated with arthrofibrosis and loss of range of motion. Progressive fibrosis of synovium leads to pain, spasm, and shortening of muscles, resulting in joint contractures and restriction of joint motion. It is common to see even young...

The mean preoperative AOFAS score was 39 compared with a mean postoperative score at 1-year followup of 85. The results of the AOFAS scale at 3- and 6-months post-surgery showed considerable variation. In contrast, at 12 months the mean results tended to converge, thus suggesting greater reliability...

Mayo score and elbow ROM were all improved significantly after treatment in two groups (all P < 0.01). Compared with group B after treatment, the total Mayo score, joint motion range and ability as well as elbow ROM were all improved much apparently in group A (all P < 0.01). CONCLUSION: Compared wi...

Abstract
The amount of change in the CE angle can be estimated by the amount of bony resection performed at the 12-o'clock position on the lunate surface in the arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement. We found that 1 mm of bony resection equals 2.4 degrees of change in the CE angle and 5 mm o...
