Clinical and variational evaluation of peroneus tertius muscle.

This research was conducted to define the typology of the peroneus tertius, which is considered to be a part of the musculus extensor digitorum muscle and plays a role in dorsiflexion and eversion of the foot.

Hand grip and pinch strength in patients with nocturnal enuresis: is there a role of muscle strength in pathogenesis of enuresis?

Aims: To examine the association of muscle strength with nocturnal enuresis.

Subjects And Methods: One hundred sixty-three patients with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis (8-14 years old) were recruited from outpatient clinics. Two hundred eight healthy students served as the control group (8-14 years old) from two primary schools.

Morphometrical features of the human malleolar groove.

Background: Our aim was to investigate the morphometric features of malleolar groove of the lateral malleolus in humans.

Methods: This study was performed on the malleolar grooves of 93 (80 dry and 13 cadaveric) fibulae. We measured the length of the fibula; length, width, and depth of the malleolar groove; the angle between malleolar groove and the fibular axis.

The knowledge and attitudes of the primary care physicians on developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Objective: For the prevention and early diagnosis of developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), a detailed clinical screening of the newborn performed by a primary care (PC) physician is recommended as a standard practice throughout the most western countries. We aimed to determine the knowledge and attitudes of the PC physicians towards DDH, and to develop further educational and training programs, according to the results obtained from the study.

Methods: The study was a pre- and post- test with a cross-sectional design.

Prenatal diagnosis of a Turkish Bartsocas-Papas syndrome case with upper limb pterigia.
