The ACL is one of four ligaments within the knee that connects the femur to the tibia. It’s also one of the most commonly injured ligaments in the knee, particularly among athletes. ...
The anterior cruciate ligament, better known as the ACL, is one of the four ligaments within the knee that connect the femur to the tibia. It’s also one of the most commonly injured ligaments in the knee, especially among athletes. ...
” Treatment of ACL Tears The ACL, one of four ligaments within the knee that connects the femur to the tibia, is one of the most commonly injured ligaments in the knee, particularly among athletes. ...
The anterior cruciate ligament, better known as the ACL, is one of the two ligaments in the center of your knee that connect the femur to the tibia. It’s also one of the most commonly injured, especially among athletes. ...
Over time, the implant allows the ACL to fuse back together, maintaining the original attachments to the femur and tibia. After approximately eight weeks, the implant is resorbed by the body and replaced with tissue that continues to strengthen over time. ...
“The first patient I treated using the Skeletal Traction Procedure Kit was a 22-year-old woman who jumped from a moving vehicle and sustained a femur fracture in her left leg,” said John Kodosky, PA-C University Hospital’s Department of Orthopedics who worked with Arbutus Medical to develop the kit. ...
DXA-based 3D modeling provides a QCT-like characterization of the trabecular and cortical components of the proximal femur. The process by which the patient-specific 3D models are generated from 2D-DXA images, using a population-based model and for segmentation of the cortical bone, has been previously described.(18) Cortical bone was segmented by fitting a function of location ...
The purpose of this study was to better understand the relative effects of ABL and TPTD on cortical and cancellous compartments in the proximal femur. Methods: Hip DXA images from a subset of randomly selected patients in the ACTIVE trial (n = 250/arm) were retrospectively analyzed using three-dimensional modeling methods (3D-SHAPER software) to evaluate changes from baseline ...
Purpose: Our goal was to determine the effects of two supervised, twice-weekly, high-intensity exercise programs on bone geometry and strength of the proximal femur, and distal and proximal sites of the tibia and radius in middle-aged and older men with osteopenia and osteoporosis. Methods: Generally-healthy men (≥45 years), with low lumbar spine (LS) and/or proximal ...
