Background: Proteus syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by overgrowth of limbs and organs and neurocutaneous findings.
Methods: We examined three Proteus syndrome cases with unilateral foot enlargement, megafoot. The patients had ambulatory and cosmetic difficulties.
Objective: To determine the effect of Easy-Flex as an adjunct to standard inpatient rehabilitation on clinical and functional outcomes.
Design: Prospective randomized controlled trial.
Setting: Outpatient clinic and research laboratory.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of diabetes on radiation attenuation parameters of the femur and tibia of rats using Monte Carlo Simulations. First, control and diabetic rats were identified and tibias and femurs were removed. Then, the elemental ratios of the bones obtained were calculated using EDS (Energy Dissipative X-ray Spectroscopy).

- Ankle fractures are common, making up 10% of all traumatic fractures, and often occur with tibiotalar dislocations, leading to more serious complications and challenges in treatment for orthopedic surgeons.
- A study of 27 patients revealed that those with severe ankle injuries experienced reduced range of motion and higher rates of post-traumatic osteoarthritis, with 24 exhibiting radiographic signs of the condition.
- Despite the high incidence of osteoarthritis, there were no significant differences found across various stages of the condition regarding clinical outcomes like range of motion and pain levels.
Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a leading cause of disability with substantial healthcare costs, and efficient nonsurgical treatment methods are still needed. Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections and exercise therapy are used frequently in clinical practice. Whether PRP or PRP combined with exercise is more effective than exercise alone is unclear.
