Rectus abdominis diastasis

Journal of Plastic Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2013
Because of the lack of agreement on when rectus diastasis (RD) is pathologic, the aim was to investigate indications for surgical repair. This study presents classifications of RD, current knowledge on the relation to pregnancy, and conservative and surgical management.

Ankle Diastasis without Fracture

Foot & Ankle, 1984
Ankle diastasis without associated fracture occurs in a latent form in which the diastasis is detected only by stress radiographs, and in a frank form with the diastasis visible on routine, unstressed radiographs. Whereas latent ankle diastasis requires no reduction and can be treated by cast immobilization, frank diastasis requires anatomical ...

Diastasis Recti: Clinical Anatomy

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 2008
Enduring diastasis repair is one of the yardsticks by which a successful abdominoplasty is measured, because the presence and size of diastasis recti are thought to be reliable indicators of abdominal wall laxity and protrusion. The author's study of the "normal" anatomy of diastasis challenges these concepts about diastasis recti.Ninety-two ...

Should Diastasis Recti Be Corrected?

Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, 1997
The plication of the anterior rectus sheath is a procedure that is performed by most surgeons during abdominoplasty. A main concern is whether the correction of recti diastasis is really effective and if it is stable. In order to verify the position of the rectus muscle, a CT-scan was used in 14 patients who underwent abdominoplasty with rectus ...

The Diastasis Function

2018
In this chapter we describe the diastasis function, a basic tool introduced by Calabi (Ann Math 58:1–23, 1953) which is fundamental to study Kahler immersions of Kahler manifolds into complex space forms . In Sect. 1.1 we define the diastasis function and summarize its basic properties, while in Sect.
