Comparison of Fixation Techniques in Oblique and Biplanar Chevron Medial Malleolar Osteotomies; a Finite Element Analysis.

This study aimed to evaluate different fixation techniques and implants in oblique and biplanar chevron medial malleolar osteotomies using finite element analysis. Both oblique and biplanar chevron osteotomy models were created, and each osteotomy was fixed with 2 different screws (3.5 mm cortical screw and 4.

Evaluation of prolidase activity and oxidative status in patients with knee osteoarthritis: relationships with radiographic severity and clinical parameters.

We investigated serum prolidase activity and oxidative/antioxidative status in patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA) and evaluated its relationships with radiographic severity and clinical parameters. The study population consisted of 137 patients with knee OA and 134 healthy volunteers. The severity of knee OA was classified according to the Kellgren-Lawrence criteria.

The body composition of patients with knee osteoarthritis: relationship with clinical parameters and radiographic severity.

Background And Aims: We investigated body composition in knee osteoarthritis (OA) patients and evaluated its relationship with clinical parameters and radiographic severity.

Methods: Sixty-four patients with knee OA (52 females and 12 males with a mean age of 57.7 ± 8.
