Introduction: Total hip arthroplasty for developmental hip dysplasia is a challenging surgery due to anatomic abnormalities. Crowe III and Crowe IV hip dysplasia generally necessitates a subtrochanteric shortening osteotomy. Transverse and step-cut osteotomy are the most common procedures for shortening of femur although there is still no consensus which one is a superior method.

Background: The posterior malleolus is an important component of the distal tibiofibular complex and plays a crucial role in maintaining ankle joint stability. This study aimed to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of fixation with anteroposterior (AP) and posteroanterior (PA) compression screws in patients with Haraguchi Type 1 PMFs.
Methods: Data from 306 patients who underwent surgery for trimalleolar fractures between January 2018 and March 2022 were retrospectively reviewed, and 60 patients meeting the criteria were included in the study.
Introduction: Evidence exists on clinical benefits of synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation for patients with non-specific neck pain (NSNP); however, limited studies are comparing synchronous and asynchronous telerehabilitation (TR) programs in this population. The aim of this study was to estimate the relative effectiveness of an 8-week synchronous or asynchronous TR in improving pain, functional disability, kinesiophobia, and mobility in patients with NSNP.
Materials And Methods: This was a randomized, controlled clinical trial carried out on 60 individuals with NSNP.
Introduction: Clinical studies have indicated reduced reliance on blocking screws with the introduction of polyaxial locking nails, yet the biomechanical superiority of polyaxial locking over blocking screws remains unverified, specifically for distal dia-metaphyseal femur fractures.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the combination of multiaxial locking using three screws and parallel locking reinforced by two blocking screws would result in superior outcomes compared to utilizing only parallel locking with two screws and one blocking screw.
Materials And Methods: Third-generation custom-made femur models representing AO/OTA 32 A1.
