Avascular necrosis predictive factors after closed reduction in patients with developmental dysplasia of the hip.

Background: Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a common pediatric orthopedic condition. Closed reduction (CR) is the conservative treatment approach with high success rates for DDH. However, avascular necrosis (AVN) is a severe potential complication after this procedure.

Complex Bilateral Posterior Hip Dislocation with a Long-term Follow-up-A Case Report.

Bilateral hip dislocations are among the rarest traumatic incidents. We report a case of a 45-year-old, opium-addicted man with bilateral posterior hip dislocation and bilateral femoral head fractures proximal to the fovea with more comminution on the left side. After an unsuccessful closed reduction attempt, surgical reduction and internal fixation of the left and right femoral heads were performed on admission and 72 hours later.

A study on the effect of radiographic angles on clubfoot's recurrence.

Clubfoot is one of the common orthopaedic deformities. However, regardless of its' treatment high success rate, recurrence of the deformity is a serious issue. The aim of this study is to evaluate if radiographic angles can be used for clubfoot recurrence prediction.

The effect of skin traction on pain relief in patients with isolated intertrochanteric fractures, a randomized clinical trial.

Background: Hip fractures are common in elderly patients. The surgery is usually delayed due to underlying conditions, and pain control is crucial while the patient is cleared for surgery. In this randomized controlled trial (RCT) study, we hypothesized that the application of skin traction in patients with intertrochanteric fracture does not significantly change the Visual Analogue Score (VAS) of pain.

Can clubfoot scoring systems predict the number of casts and future recurrences in patients undergoing Ponseti method?

Background: Congenital clubfoot is one of the common congenital orthopaedic deformities. Pirani and Dimeglio scoring systems are two classification systems for measuring the severity of the clubfoot. However, the relation between the initial amount of each of these scores and the treatment parameters is controversial.

Vitamin D Deficiency Associated with Disease Activity in Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.

Background: Evidence exists on the association between vitamin D deficiency and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD).

Aims: To investigate whether vitamin D level is associated with disease activity and quality of life in IBD patients.

Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on known adult IBD patients referred to an outpatient clinic of gastroenterology in Isfahan city, Iran.
