It’s the intraoperative twist that matters most. Forget how straight the new knee looks on an X-ray. Think how it moves when ...

The science behind why the Earth will spin just a little bit faster on July 9, July 22, and August 5, this year.

Lateral comb resonators (LCRs) theoretically possess a symmetric structure; therefore, the electrostatic force is effective only along the axis of displacement and is neutralized elsewhere. This force ...

Knee osteoarthritis that prevalently occurs at the medial compartment is a progressive chronic disorder affecting the articular cartilage of the knee joint, and lead to loss of joint functionality.

Second, the X -axis was defined as the axis intersecting at right angles with the Z-axis and passing through the center of the tibial plateau, parallel to the Akagi line, which connects the middle of ...

The lateral appearance and lateral rotation exhibited a significantly higher frequency of postoperative atrioventricular conduction disorders, which could lead to an increased incidence of paroxysmal ...

It was updated on May 29, 2024. When designing machines, an understanding of anatomical terms such as medial and lateral, proximal and distal, and superior and inferior are helpful to know.

However, the contact points decreased medial forces and increased lateral forces and led to more marked variations compared to tibiofemoral alignment, which produced an opposite effect. The forces ...

By guiding the left knee forward and in doing so rotating the hips back you are encouraging a turn on an axis instead of a lateral slide.

2. Lateral radiograph marking out the long axis of the first metatarsal in preparation for K-wire trajectory and placement of the screws is shown. 3.

The glute medius is most responsible for abducting the leg (pulling the leg laterally away from the midline of the body). The muscle also assists in medial-lateral rotation of the leg, Giordano says.
