Study Design: Prospective clinical study.
Back Ground: In total hip replacement, the placement of the cup is critical as inaccurate placement can cause impingement, accelerated wear and dislocations. The position of the cup is assessed by abduction and anteversion. There are many radiological methods available for this purpose, while the reliability and validity of the methods have not been adequately done. Calculation by CT method is a gold standard. The aim of study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of all the methods.
Methods: In 30 hips of 25 consecutive patients, 13 females and 12 males who underwent primary total hip replacement in our institution, the component version in all the five radiological methods was calculated and compared with CT evaluation of angles. The intra- and interobserver reliabilities were assessed.
Results: Average CT measurement was 23.28 for anteversion. Lewinnek, Liaw, Hassan, Widmer and Ritun methods had average deviation of 4.330, 4.390, 4.880, 6.840 and 6.220, respectively. All the radiographic and CT methods had excellent intra- and interobserver reliabilities (C.I. 0.894-0.960 and 0.861-0.953). All the methods except Widmer had a significant validity against CT.
Conclusion: Plain X-rays (AP) are reliable for measuring cup anteversion. Lewinnek, Liaw, Riten and Hassans methods for calculation of cup anteversion are closer to CT in accuracy (p value >0.05). Widmer method varies significantly (p value <0.05) from CT.

Background: Uncertainty in the diagnosis of lung nodules is a challenge for both patients and physicians. Artificial intelligence (AI) systems are increasingly being integrated into medical imaging to assist diagnostic procedures. However, the accuracy of AI systems in identifying and measuring lung nodules on chest computed tomography (CT) scans remains unclear, which requires further evaluation.

Ninety patients (103 feet) at our institution between January 2014 and December 2019 were included in the present retrospective study. Each patient was evaluated preoperatively and at final follow-up by means of weight bearing radiographs lateral and dorsoplantar views.

Recently, proximal fibular osteotomy (PFO) has emerged as a less invasive and more cost-effective alternative. This study compares the outcomes of HTO and PFO to evaluate whether PFO can deliver results comparable to HTO in similar patient populations.

Background And Objectives: Although previous trials have established the efficacy and safety of endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) in large ischemic core strokes, most of them excluded patients with extracranial internal carotid artery (e-ICA) occlusion. We aimed to compare outcomes in patients with e-ICA occlusion and large ischemic core infarcts treated with EVT vs medical management (MM).
Methods: This was a secondary analysis of the SELECT2 trial, a randomized controlled trial conducted at 31 international sites.

Purpose: Urinary incontinence (UI) is common in nulliparous female elite athletes, but underlying pathophysiology is inadequately understood. We examined urinary symptoms and associated pelvic floor anatomy and function in this population, hypothesizing that athletes with UI would exhibit pelvic floor findings seen in older incontinent women (e.g.
