Evaluation of the Effect of Menisci on Tibial Slope and the Correlation With Body Mass Index.

Background One of the important factors affecting the biomechanics of the knee joint is the posterior tibial slope which is the tibial plateau's anatomical inclination toward the posterior of the sagittal plane. This inclination, which affects anterior-posterior stability, is important for the kinematics of the knee joint. Changes in the tibial slope may cause a deficit in the stability and function of the knee joint.

Is the Prevalence of Coronary Artery Anomalies Different in Countries with Small Populations? - A Retrospective Study in Northern Cyprus.

Background: Although the prevalence of coronary artery anomalies (CAA) is due to accidental and rare discoveries, it varies between different countries or geographies. CAA are rare congenital disorders having various clinical definitions. Its prevalence varies in angiographic and autopsy series in adult populations and is approximately 1% in average.

The Anatomical History of a Single Coronary Artery Anomaly: A Case Report.

Single coronary artery(SCA) anomaly is a rare anomaly where the right and left coronary arteries arise from a single ostium in the sinus valsalva and feed the whole heart. Although asymptomatic in most cases, it can cause angina, syncope, myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death. It is essential to diagnose it especially in terms of the risk of encountering clinical pictures such as sudden death at a young age and its association with other congenital anomalies.

Case From the Eyes of an Anatomist: Fistula Between Proximal of Left Anterior Descending Artery to Pulmonary Artery.

Advanced diagnostic systems and screening services for health care have made it possible to improve the detection of congenital cardio-vascular abnormalities, including coronary artery variations. Many coronary artery fistulas are congenital, and this can also be reported in patients with normal heart anatomy. In this report, we present a patient with a fistula between left anterior descending artery and pulmonary artery which was diagnosed incidentally with conventional angiography.

Incidence of accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones in the feet: a radiographic study of the Turkish subjects.

Most accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones of the ankle and the foot remain asymptomatic; however, they have increasingly been examined in the radiology literature, because they can cause painful syndromes or degenerative changes in response to overuse and trauma. Our aim was to document a detailed investigation on the accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones of Turkish subjects in both the feet according to the sex, frequency and division of the bones, coexistence and bilaterality by radiography. A double-centered study was performed retrospectively to determine the incidence of the accessory ossicles and sesamoid bones in the ankle and foot.
