Validity of US measurements of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement parameters: a preliminary study in an asymptomatic adult population.

Purpose: To determine the accuracy of US for the quantitative parameters of cam-type femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) in an asymptomatic adult population, using MRI as the reference standard.

Materials And Methods: We prospectively evaluated 158 hips of 79 adult subjects (44 males, 35 females; age range 18-49 years) with a negative anterior impingement test. Two observers independently measured anterosuperior quadrant alpha angles and anterior femoral distances (AFDs) on both US and MRI.

Thirty Minutes of Running Exercise Decreases T2 Signal Intensity but Not Thickness of the Knee Joint Cartilage: A 3.0-T Magnetic Resonance Imaging Study.

Objective: Recent studies showed a potential of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which can be used as an additional tool for diagnosing cartilage degeneration in the early stage. We designed a cross-sectional study in order to evaluate knee joint cartilage adaptation to running, using 3.0-T MRI equipped with the 3-dimensional turbo spin echo (VISTA = Volume ISotropic Turbo spin echo Acquisition) software.

Double layer repair of tibialis anterior muscle hernia in a soccer player: a case report and review of the literature.

Background: muscle herniations usually present in athletes especially in the lower legs; occurring through defects in the deep fascial layer of the muscles and typically seen following local blunt trauma or muscle hypertrophy after strenuous exercise. Management of muscle hernias varies from conservative therapy to surgical repair and usually needs multidisciplinary collaboration for differential diagnosis.

Methods: herein tibialis anterior muscle hernia in 17-year-old male soccer player was presented.

Rehabilitation after endoscopically percutaneous intramuscular splintage for vastus medialis partial rupture - A case report and review of the literature.

Isolated rupture of the vastus medialis muscle is rare, and surgical repair is recommended. The results of rehabilitation programme after the percutaneous intramuscular splintage of a nearly total vastus medialis muscle tear in a 52-year professional-master degree weight-lifter is presented in this report.
