Radiological and Functional Assessment of Treatment Outcomes in Patients after Open Reduction with Internal Fixation (ORIF) of Acetabular Fractures.

(1) Fracture of the pelvis usually happens in young men and results from high-energy trauma. It generates high social and economic costs and results in further health problems. It is therefore important to assess long-term treatment results.

The effect of the menstrual cycle on collagen metabolism, growth hormones and strength in young physically active women.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the menstrual cycle on strength, functioning of the GH/IGF-1 axis and collagen metabolism in physically active women. Twenty-four physically active and eumenorrheic women volunteered to participate in the study (body mass 60.3 ± 9.

Static balance assessment in patients with severe osteoarthritis of the knee.

Background: Pain related to severe knee osteoarthritis may lead to static balance disorders. Patients with severe knee arthrosis with arthroplasty indication should be aware of the postoperative rehabilitation menu because their balance ability has decreased.

Methods: The study involved 33 patients with unilateral severe osteoarthritis (the study group) and 33 healthy subjects (the control group).

The effect of unilateral osteoarthritis of the hip on postural balance disorders.

Background: Postural stability is of great importance because imbalances and muscle weakness are significant risk factors for falls experienced by the elderly. Hip arthrosis, which causes pain and gait disorders that affect balance control, is common in the ageing population.

Aim: The aim of this study was to assess postural stability in patients with unilateral hip arthrosis before total hip arthroplasty.
