Purpose: To clarify the morphological factors of the pelvis in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), three-dimensional (3D) pelvic morphology was analyzed using a template-fitting technique.
Methods: Three-dimensional pelvic data of 50 patients with DDH (DDH group) and 3D pelvic data of 50 patients without obvious pelvic deformity (Normal group) were used. All patients were female.
Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the relevance and characteristics of the lateral ankle ligaments, specifically the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), using a sample of 152 legs from Japanese cadavers.
- Researchers measured the lengths and widths of these ligaments, classified the ATFL based on the number of fiber bundles, and examined correlations between the ligaments' dimensions relative to tibial length.
- Findings revealed that the ATFL, CFL, and PTFL connect at the lateral malleolus, with the ATFL commonly appearing as Type II, but no significant size differences were found between the CFL and PTFL; the study suggests
