Triad of foot deformities and its conservative treatment: With a 3D customized insole.

The coexisting of three deformities as hallux valgus, flatfoot, and the calcaneal spur is an undefined medical condition, and it may be called triad of foot deformities (TFD) as a definition for a new disease entity. A customized 3D insole prototype was created by postprocessing of MRI data, and printed by 3D printer technology for the purpose of providing effective and innovative treatment for TFD. A 42 years-old female was clinically examined for TFD findings.

Comparison of corticosteroid injection and ozone injection for relief of pain in chronic lateral epicondylitis.

To evaluate and compare the therapeutic effects of corticosteroid and ozone injections in the alleviation of pain associated with chronic lateral epicondylitis . Data was collected from the medical records of 80 patients (56 women, 24 men ; average age : 45.8±7.

The Combined Effect of Body Mass Index and Tibial Slope Angles on Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury Risk in Male Knees: A Case-Control Study.

Introduction: Tibial slope angles (TSAs) have been identified as potential risk factors of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in the literature. A higher body mass index (BMI) might increase the risk of ACL tear because of greater axial compressive force. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship of these factors and the combined effect of BMI and TSA in determination of risk potential for ACL injury.

Arthroscopy-assisted fixation of Ideberg-type Vb glenoid fracture: A case report.

In this article, we report a 41-year-old right-handed male patient with Ideberg-type Vb fracture who was treated with arthroscopic reduction and fixation. The patient was a laborer who suffered from a high-energy trauma (fall from height). X-ray revealed an intra-articular fracture of the left scapula.

Assessment of the anterolateral ligament of the knee by 1.5 T magnetic resonance imaging.

Objective This study was performed to evaluate the visibility of the knee's anterolateral ligament (ALL) by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging when evaluating injuries of the ALL in relation to injuries of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Methods Two reviewers retrospectively analyzed MR images for the visibility and dimensions of the ALL and the relationship between ALL and ACL injuries. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and kappa analysis were used to assess interobserver reliability.

Analysis of the risk factors for anterior cruciate ligament injury: an investigation of structural tendencies.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the most important anatomical risk factors for injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee.

Materials And Methods: After study approval by our institutional ethics committee, 3 radiologists reinterpreted the preoperative magnetic resonance (MR) images of 86 patients who had undergone surgery for ACL rupture. The measurements were compared with those for a control group comprising 109 patients with intact ACL who had undergone MR examinations for other reasons, such as meniscal injuries or Baker cyst ruptures.
