Purpose Differences in range of motion, pinch strength, biomechanical strength, or joint
angulation have previously been investigated for various means of treatment of ulnar collateral …

Background Previous studies investigated the overall mechanical strength of the vertebral
body; however, limited information is available on the biomechanical properties of different …

The scoliometer is an inclinometer commonly used in scoliosis screening. The device is
used during an Adam's forward bend test, in which a patient bends forward at the hips to …

Background: With a recurrence rate of over 30%, techniques that offer stronger acromioclavicular
(AC) joint reconstruction through increased graft strength may provide longevity. The …

ABSTRACT Treatment of distal metaphyseal tibia fractures is often challenging. Newer tibial
intramedullary (IM) nails are designed with a wider variety of distal locking options to offer …

Bi-antibiotic-impregnated bone cements (BIBCs) are widely used in orthopaedics as a
prophylactic agent (depot) to address post-surgical infections. Although hardness is widely …

Background The gold-standard treatment for intra-articular distal humerus fractures (DHFs)
is dual-plate/dual-column fixation, though optimal orientation is not yet established. With a …

Purpose Advancements in smart phone technology has made them valuable tools for clinicians.
When using such devices in place of standard methods, one must take caution that their …

Previous studies have examined multiple suture techniques for the repair of ruptured
tendons. In this study, we investigated how the two-and four-stranded Krackow suture weave …

Introduction: The incidence of graft length mismatch (GLM) during anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) reconstruction is reported to be up to 13%, with a rate of 20% when using bone-…
