Data Trace Editor origin: transverse processes of the 1st to 5th thoracic vertebrae and the articular processes of the 4th to 7th cervical vertebrae; insertion: the posterior margin of the mastoid process; action: acting bilaterally, extends and hyperextends head; acting unilaterally, flexes and rotates the head the same side; synergists: Semispinalis capitis , spinalis capitis, Longissimus Cervicis
origin: the common broad thich tendon with Iliocostalis Lumborum, fibers from the transverse and mamillary processes of the lumbar vertebrae and lumbrosacral aponeurosis; insertion: the tips of transverse process of all thoracic vertebrae and the lower 9 or 10 ribs between the tubercles and angles; action: acting unilaterally, extension of vertebral column … Read more
Foot Ankle Int. 2002 Dec;23(12):1081-1090 Trouillier H, Hänsel L, Schaff P, Rosemeyer B, Refior HJ ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: In a retrospective study, the results of operatively treated ankle joints were critically discussed. METHODS: In a period from January 1, 1977 to December 31, 1994, a total of 35 arthrodeses were carried out. RESULTS: Seventeen … Read more
Discussion: The benefit of a supplement with the antioxidant melatonin on redox status and muscle damage in resistance-trained athletes.
Penetration of moxifloxacin into bone in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.
– Discussion: – involves central or peripheral depression of frx of lateral plateau w/o associated lateral wedge fracture; – it usually occurs from minimal impact on weak osteoporotic bone; – commonly affects older age groups (55-60 yrs) w/ marked osteoporosis; – stability of joint is rarely affected & excellent … Read more
Richard D. Guyer, MD Texas Back Institute Rationale – It is natural for the spine to move – Lumbar fusion is the standard of care for many degenerative spinal conditions including symptomatic disc degeneration – Lumbar total disc replacement (LTDR) is designed to remove the degenerated tissue and replace it with a device allowing mobility of … Read more
Discussion: – oblique diaphyseal osteotomy that is directed proximal-plantar to distal-dorsal; – long dorsal shelf of bone supports the distal fragment, making dorsal displacement of the osteotomy unlikely; – type of intrinsically stable metatarsal osteotomy (weightbearing on the foot compresses the osteotomy) – other types of intrinsically stable osteotomies include the proximal … Read more
Foot Ankle Int. 2008 Feb;29(2):171-177 Cornelis Doets H, van der Plaat LW, Klein JP ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Preoperative deformity in the frontal plane in the arthritic ankle is a risk factor for failure after total ankle arthroplasty. Medial malleolar lengthening osteotomy was developed to correct varus malalignment. METHODS: From 1998 to 2005 total ankle arthroplasty … Read more
