The authors report on 140 cases of fractures near the hip joint, which had been treated by applying a dynamic hip compression screw (DHS). DHS is an ideal method for stabilising pertrochanteral stable and lateral fractures. In unstable pertrochanteral fractures it is recommended to use a 130 degrees or 150 degrees DHS, depending on the age and the patient's preoperative ability to walk. In medial fractures of the neck of the femur the use of DHS offers no advantage compared with screwing or total endoprosthesis. The article reports on the postoperative results. In respect of these results DHS appears to be superior to fracture nailing according to Ender.

Artificial neural networks (ANNs) offers potential for obtaining kinetics in non-laboratory. This study compared the estimation performance for ground reaction forces (GRF) and lower-limb joint moments during sidestepping between ANNs fed with full-body and lower-body landmarks. 71 male college soccer athletes executed sidestepping while three-dimensional kinematics and kinetics were collected to calculate joint moments by inverse dynamic.

Musculoskeletal modeling based on inverse dynamics provides a cost-effective non-invasive means for calculating intersegmental joint reaction forces and moments, solely relying on kinematic data, easily obtained from smart wearables. On the other hand, the accuracy and precision of such models strongly hinge upon the selected scaling methodology tailored to subject-specific data. This study investigates the impact of upper body mass distribution on internal and external kinetics computed using a comprehensive musculoskeletal model during level walking in both normal weight and obese individuals.

Background: We aimed to synthesize the kinematics and kinetics during landing and walking/running tasks of ankle copers compared with patients with chronic ankle instability and controls.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed, CINAHL, SPORTDiscus, and Web of Science. Tri-planar lower extremity biomechanics (joint angle and moment at maximum and initial contact, and joint displacement) were synthesized using standard mean difference and 95 % confidence intervals.

Background: The degenerative spondylosis can cause the difficulty in maintaining sagittal and coronal alignment of spine, and X-ray parameters are the gold standard to analyze the malalignment. This study aimed to develop a new 3D full body scanner to analyze the spinal balance and compare it to X-ray parameters.
Methods: Ninety-seven adult participants who suffer degenerative spondylosis underwent 3D full body scanning, whole spine X-rays, clinical questionnaires and body composition analyses.
