Morphological and morphometric analysis of the Sacral Hiatus using lumbosacral spine CT scans: clinical relevance in Caudal Epidural Analgesia.

Background: To conduct a morphological and morphometric analysis of the sacral hiatus (SH) using lumbosacral spine CT scans and to evaluate its clinical relevance in caudal epidural analgesia (CEA).

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 77 lumbosacral spine CT scans from a diverse patient population. The shape of the SH was classified into common types: inverted U, inverted V, irregular, and bilobed.

Pelvic cavity and its spaces - anatomical overview.

Anatomical nomenclature commonly does not follow changes in the clinical language and demands. Therefore we tried to explain the pelvic relationships based on the changes that occur in the pelvis as well as to compare different nomenclatural strategies used in every day language. Courses of fasciae in the male and female pelvis are also considered.

Treatment Options for Tennis Elbow - An Umbrella Review.

Introduction: The main goal of the present umbrella review was to provide the most up-to- date and evidence-based results regarding the various treatment options for tennis elbow (TE), which hopefully will significantly decrease the confusions existing in the literature. Furthermore, our study differs from past analytical studies because, as to the best of the authors' knowledge, is the first to provide independent (not in comparison to other treatment) statistical results regarding the effectiveness of each TE treatment.

Materials And Methods: Major medical databases such as PubMed, Scopus, Embase, Web of Science, Google Scholar, Cochrane Library, BIOSIS, and EBSCO were searched.

Arthrofibrosis - a myth or true joint disorder?

Authors, mostly specialists on rehabilitation and orthopedic surgery prove that arthrofibrosis is a commonly overlooked phenomenon, which may lead to serious limitation in the range of movement, leading to limitation in patients quality of functioning. The main goal of this article is to emphasize the importance of understanding a such complex condition. Non typical patomechanism, lack of biomarkers dedicated to this dysfunction and general lack of understanding in this pathology causes that risk factors and the most effective strategies remain vastly unknown.

Functional anatomy, histology and biomechanics of the human Achilles tendon - A comprehensive review.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to provide a comprehensive overview of the anatomical, histological, and biomechanical aspects of the Achilles tendon.

Methods: A comprehensive search on the relevant aspects of the Achilles tendon was performed through the main electronic databases up to October 2019. Data from relevant articles was gathered, analyzed, and included in this review.

Sphenoid bone and its sinus - anatomo-clinical review of the literature including application to FESS.

Authors paid attention to anatomy and clinical implications which are associated with the variations of the sphenoid sinus. We discuss also anatomical structure of the sphenoid bone implementing clinical application of this bone to different invasive and miniinvasive procedures (i.e.

Is there a relationship between functional at foot and prevalence of non-insertional achilles tendinopathy in joggers? - a pilot study.

Introduction: Non-insertional Achilles tendinopathy is one of the most common overuse injuries experienced by joggers. The pes planus evaluation is often based only on the visual method without a dynamic test. Functionally inefficiency of longitudinal or transverse arch of the foot may be a significant risk factor affecting the lower limb biomechanics and causing of pain in the Achilles tendon area.

Main health-related quality-of-life issues in patients after a distal radius fracture.

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify and assess the degree and clinical course of the main health-related quality-of-life (HRQoL) issues in patients after a distal radius fracture (DRF).

Materials And Methods: Patients were eligible if they were between 18-80 years and were within 1-3 days after a non-comminuted DRF. All patients filled out the Polish version of the IOF QLQ, the SF-36 and a demographic questionnaire.

Preliminary validation of the IOF QLQ and comparison with the SF-36 in patients after a distal radius fracture.

Aim: The aim of this study was to report preliminary validation data on the Polish version of the International Osteoporosis Foundation Quality of Life Questionnaire (IOF QLQ) for patients with a distal radius fracture (DRF).

Materials And Methods: Patients were eligible if they were between 18-80 years and were within 1-3 days after a non-comminuted DRF. All patients filled out the Polish version of the IOF QLQ, the Short Form 36 (SF-36) and a demographic questionnaire.
