Results of talectomy for inveterate or recurrent clubfoot.

Introduction: The aim of the present study was to define indications for talectomy in congenital paralytic, dystrophic or idiopathic, inveterate or recurrent, clubfoot.

Hypothesis: Talectomy is a valid option for paralytic, dystrophic or idiopathic, inveterate or recurrent, clubfoot.

Patients And Methods: A single-center retrospective series comprised 52 clubfeet in 31 patients.

Modeling of Droplet Generation in a Microfluidic Flow-Focusing Junction for Droplet Size Control.

In this paper, we study the parameters that affect the generation of droplets in a microfluidic flow-focusing junction. Droplets are evaluated based on the size and frequency of generation. Droplet size control is essential for microfluidic lab-on-a-chip applications in biology, chemistry, and medicine.

Anterior and lateral overcoverage after triple pelvic osteotomy in childhood for developmental dislocation of the hip with acetabular dysplasia: Frequency, features, and medium-term clinical impact.

Background: Triple pelvic osteotomy (TPO) is a treatment option in children and adolescents with residual acetabular dysplasia after developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH). However, TPO to redirect the acetabulum is often blamed for anterior and lateral overcoverage of the femoral head. The main objectives of this study were to assess the potential clinical impact, frequency, and radiological features of acetabular overcorrection.

Long-term results of ankle arthrodesis in children and adolescents with haemophilia.

Introduction: Ankle arthrodesis in patients with haemophilia is a joint-non-preserving treatment option often resulting in substantial pain relief and termination of haemarthrosis by osseous consolidating of the joint. However, limited data are available regarding ankle arthrodesis in young patients.

Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term clinical and radiographic results with a minimum follow-up of ten years in children with haemophilia who underwent ankle arthrodesis.

Human platelets antigens influence the viral load of platelets after the interaction of the platelets with HCV and HIV in vitro.

Introduction: In this study, we evaluated hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) - platelet interactions in vitro as well as human platelets antigen (HPA) polymorphisms.

Methods: Platelets were obtained from 100 healthy HPA-genotyped volunteer donors and incubated with HIV or HCV. The viral load after in vitro exposure was detected.
