Anatomical Parameters Associated with the Shortening Decision in Crowe Type 4 Dysplastic Hip Osteoarthritis: A Case-Control Study.

Background: Muscle and bone morphometry may be potent indicators for predicting femoral subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy (FSSO). We aimed to investigate muscular and bony factors that may be predictive of FSSO.

Methods: Patients with unilateral Crowe type 4 developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) who underwent unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA) without (Group 1, 31 patients) and with FSSO (Group 2, 39 patients) were included.

Is Lenke type V adolescent idiopathic scoliosis associated with different muscular morphometry?

The aim of the study was to evaluate the changes in psoas major (PM), erector spinae (ES), multifidus (MF), and rectus abdominis (RA) morphometry in Lenke type V adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) and control. Forty-two Lenke V AIS patients and 30 control were enrolled. The cross-sectional area (CSA) and CSA index (CI) of the PM, ES, MF, and RA at the T9-L5 levels were measured and compared between Lenke type V patients and control.

The effect of lumbar facet joint injection levels on spinopelvic parameters and functional outcome.

Background: Low back pain is a very common musculoskeletal complaint that impacts patients' quality of life in numerous ways. Facet joint injection is a widely used spinal intervention to relieve back pain. Effects of facet joint injection on spinopelvic parameters and the relationship between injection levels and spinopelvic parameter changes have not been evaluated before.

Change of Sagittal Spinopelvic Parameters after Selective and Non-Selective Fusion in Lenke Type 1 Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis Patients.

Aim: To compare the postoperative changes of both sagittal spinal and spinopelvic parameters in patients with Lenke Type 1 adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) who underwent selective and non-selective fusion surgery.

Material And Methods: We conducted a retrospective study among 53 Lenke Type 1 AIS patients who underwent corrective surgery at our centre between 2006 and 2012. Patients were classified as group 1 if they underwent selective surgery and as group 2 if they underwent non-selective surgery.
