The purpose of this case study was to investigate the dynamic features of fibular movement to gait pattern by analyzing the gait of individuals with three different parts of the fibula resected. Gait analyses revealed that proximal fibula resection impaired knee stability, whereas distal fibula resection disturbed ankle kinematics significantly. Except a mild secondary quadriceps weakness, middle fibula resection did not cause a significant biomechanical disturbance on gait.

Vibration analysis of the human radius of elderly men Oezdurak, R. Huerrem; Sezgin, Oender C.; Akın, Serhat; Korkusuz, Feza (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2006-02-01) Vibration analysis seldom has been used in detecting structural and mechanical changes in physiologic and pathologic bone conditions. We sought to correlate natural frequency of the radius measured by vibration analyses with bone mineral density measured by dual-energy xray absorptiometry and quantitative computed tomography (including cortical thickness). Sixty sedentary men between 50 and 70 years old were deemed osteopenic or healthy. A higher natural frequency of the dominant and nondominant radius was ...
Surgical repair of cartilage defects of the patella Atik, OS; Korkusuz, Feza (Ovid Technologies (Wolters Kluwer Health), 2001-08-01) The structure and biomechanical forces on the patellar joint challenges researchers to define an ideal method for resurfacing the patellar cartilage. The articular surface of the patella presents variability between individuals, and has various minor articulations that bear partial or total compressive, shear, and combined forces during movement. Surgical techniques for the repair of patellar cartilage defects have evolved from cumulative advances in basic science and technology. Such surgeries include the ...
Effects of custom made insole on gait pattern of patients with unilateral displaced intra articular calcaneal fracture evaluation with computerized gait analysis ÖÇGÜDER, Ali; GÖK, HAYDAR; HEYCAN, Cengiz; O, TECİMEL; Tönük, Ergin; BOZKURT, MURAT (AVES Publishing Co., 2012-01-01) Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate whether use of custom-fabricated insoles improves the gait pattern in patients with displaced intra-articular calcaneal fractures. Methods: Fourteen patients (7 female, 7 male; mean age: 39±12 years) and 11 healthy individuals (mean age: 42±13 years) were included in the study. Treatment protocol included conservative treatment involving immobilization, with or without closed reduction, active exercises, wear of a customfabricated insole and prospective fo...
Mechanical strength of four different biceps tenodesis techniques Ozalay, M; Akpinar, S; Karaeminogullari, O; Balcik, C; Tasci, A; Tandogan, RN; Gecit, R (Elsevier BV, 2005-08-01) Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the biomechanical properties of 4 different biceps tenodesis techniques. Type of Study: Biomechanical experiment. Methods: Four groups of fresh sheep shoulders (28 total) with similar shape characteristics were used. Biceps tenodesis was performed using the following techniques: group I (n = 7), tunnel technique; group 2 (n = 7), interference screw technique; group 3 (n = 7), anchor technique; and group 4 (n = 7), keyhole technique. Each construct was loaded to ...
The annular ligament - An anatomical study BOZKURT, MURAT; ACAR, HALİL IBRAHİM; APAYDIN, NİHAL; Leblebicioglu, G; ELHAN, ALAİTTİN; TEKDEMİR, İBRAHİM; Tönük, Ergin (SAGE Publications, 2005-01-01) Background: Despite documentations of ligamentous structures of the elbow, the anatomy and clinical and functional importance of the annular ligament has not been comprehensively defined in the orthopaedic literature.
