A Narrative Review of Combat Sports Injuries With a Particular Focus on Cervical Spine Injuries.

Combat sports encompass a wide range of disciplines, each associated with distinct injury patterns and mechanisms. From karate to wrestling, athletes face varying degrees of injury risks, with common clinical presentations including head injuries, strains, sprains, fractures, and concussions. These injuries often result from dynamic movements, physical contact, and high-impact collisions inherent to combat sports.

Assessment of Hip and Lumbar Spine Range of Motion After Total Hip Arthroplasty Using a Single Camera Markerless System.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most cost-effective and successful procedures in orthopedics. However, assessing the post-operative range of motion (ROM) remains a challenge due to the limitations of traditional measurement methods. This study aimed to evaluate hip and spine ROM post-operatively and single-leg balance, using a single-camera markerless motion capture system, and compare outcomes with pre-operative ROM and with an age-matched healthy control group.

Optimizing Hip Replacement Procedure in Cerebral Palsy-Related Spastic Hip Dysplasia: A Case Report.

Cerebral palsy (CP) often results in severe hip issues, disrupting musculoskeletal development and mobility due to problems such as dislocations and contractures, aggravated by spasticity and heightened muscular tone. While total hip arthroplasty (THA) is required in CP patients, the procedure carries high risks due to concerns about dislocation and wear. This study explores a method of intraoperative navigation to precisely execute preoperative strategies for spinopelvic alignment and optimal cup placement.

The risk of DDH between breech and cephalic-delivered neonates using Graf ultrasonography.

Purpose: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorder in infants. The most significant risk factors include female gender, breech presentation, left hip and family history. In this study, we utilized the Graf method at different time intervals to evaluate both breech-delivered and cephalic-born newborns.
