Only the screw that captures the sustentaculum both on the lateral and axial X-ray views was regarded as an accurate placement. The accuracy rate in the guidance-assisted group is 87.5% (35 out of 40 times of insertions) while in the traditional screw insertion group, the accuracy rate is...
Fracture of the distal tibial plafond, also termed pilon fracture, is caused by high-energy axial compression force of the tibia, driving vertically into the talus [1–3], which accounts for about 5% of tibial fractures [4,5]. Described by the Ruedi and Allgower X-ray classification scheme,...
True or False: The distal tibiofibular joint is classified as a synchondrosis. The only direct, bone-bone connection between the upper extremity and the axial skeleton is the sternoclavicular joint. True False The epiphyses of long bones are compounds of...

X-ray shows calcaneus bone fracture (Fig. 22.2). The patient had neither other medical history nor drunk any immunosuppressive drugs or exposed to any other immunosuppressive factor.Zheng, Xianyou
ultrasound (US) densitometric parameters [Broadband Ultrasound Attenuation (BUA), Speed of Sound (SOS), and stiffness of the os calcis] in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and to compare the results with those obtained with conventional x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar ...
values of calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for non-vertebral fractures in older Chinese men were examined.One thousand nine hundred twenty-one Chinese men aged 65鈥 92years had calcaneal QUS and axial DXA bone mineral density (BMD) measurements. ...
Routine radiographic examination including X-ray and CT scanning was taken pre-operatively. Not until was the soft tissue condition improved, an open reduction and internal fixation with poly-axial locking plate would be performed. Regular X-ray was taken for measurement of the Bohler's angle ...
angle (TMT) on the lateral weight-bearing radiograph of foot, and the talocalcaneal angle (TC), talar first metatarsal angle (TMT) on the AP view of the weight-bearing radiograph of foot, and the heel valgus alignment on axial radiographs of the hindfoot were measured on the X-ray film...
Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometrySpecificitySensitivityA high incidence of bone disease in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) requires frequent monitoring of skeletal status and, for that reason, evaluation of radiation-free technology is an issue of interest. Our objective was to appraise ...
