Objective: The aim of the study was to investigate the relation between health-related quality of life and risk of falling, fear of falling, and functional status in patients with hip arthroplasty.
Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 48 hips of 45 patients who aged between 33 and 79 (53.56 ± 12.
Background: The dorsalis pedis artery is responsible for blood supply to the dorsal aspect of the foot and is vital in the clinical assessment of the arterial supply thereof. Clinical assessment should consider anatomical variations of dorsalis pedis artery. Clearly, a thorough understanding of the potential variations of the vasculature in the area is important for a precise clinical assessment of arterial supply to the foot.

This review will discuss the use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in cell sheet-based tissue engineering. Besides their adhesiveness to plastic surfaces and their extensive differentiation potential in vitro, MSCs are easily accessible, expandable in vitro with acceptable genomic stability, and few ethical issues.

- The study aimed to examine functional differences and cost implications of supervised physiotherapy versus a standardized home program for patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA).
- Patients aged 60-79 were assessed for joint range of motion, pain, function, quality of life, and depression before and after surgery.
- Results showed no significant difference in recovery outcomes between the two groups, suggesting home exercise programs are effective and can lower healthcare costs.
Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the therapeutic effect of sacroiliac (SI) blockade in patients with and without lumbosacral fusion.
Methods: This study included 72 patients diagnosed with SI pain and who received blockade injection (methylprednisolone and lidocaine). Patients were divided into 2 groups; 22 patients in the fusion group who underwent previous lumbosacral fusion and 50 patients in the non-fusion group.
