Background: Fixation of displaced radial head fractures using miniplates is technically challenging and has some drawbacks like hardware prominence and limitation of forearm rotation. Fixation by headless compression screws has emerged as a less invasive alternative to miniplates. This study compares the radiological and functional outcomes of both methods of fixation.

Methods: The study population included 90 patients with unilateral ankle pain who presented with symptoms and signs suggestive of ankle impingement. Their age ranged from 17 to 57 years, with a mean age of 33.
Background: Shoulder abduction is an essential movement for placement of the hand in space and thus for upper limb function. The objective of this study was to introduce and test the effectiveness of a new technique of latissimus dorsi tendon transfer to deltoid insertion to restore shoulder abduction.
Methods: We prospectively included 10 male patients with a lost deltoid function.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the efficacy of rectus femoris stretching on pain intensity, knee range of motion (ROM), spatiotemporal gait parameters and function in patients with knee osteoarthritis (KOA).
Methods: This parallel group, single-blinded randomised controlled trial was conducted in two outpatient physical therapy clinics. Study participants (n=60, with age>45 years) with mild-to-moderate bilateral KOA were randomised into the study group (SG) and control group (CG).
