New species of parasitic nasal mites infesting birds in Manitoba, Canada (Mesostigmata, Rhinonyssidae)

open access: yesZooKeys, 2018
Mites (Acari, Acariformes, Parasitiformes) are one of the most diverse and abundant groups of arthropods associated with birds. Several families of mites have colonised the respiratory tract of birds, the Rhinonyssidae (Mesostigmata) being the most ...

The Effect of Technique Change on Knee Loads during Sidestep Cutting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
PURPOSE: To identify the effect of modifying sidestep cutting technique on knee loads and predict what impact such change would have on the risk of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Above-Knee versus Below-Knee Stockings in Total Knee Arthroplasty [PDF]

open access: yesThe Annals of The Royal College of Surgeons of England, 2006
INTRODUCTION Graduated compression stockings are frequently used following arthroplasty surgery for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) prophylaxis. There are often strongly held beliefs regarding whether below-knee or above-knee stockings should be used in total knee joint replacement.

Standardising the clinical assessment of coronal knee laxity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Clinical laxity tests are used for assessing knee ligament injuries and for soft tissue balancing in total knee arthroplasty. This study reports the development and validation of a quantitative technique of assessing collateral knee laxity through ...

Knee mechanisms for through-knee prostheses [PDF]

open access: yesProsthetics & Orthotics International, 1983
The most widely used knee mechanisms for through-knee amputees can be characterized as three principal types of design. These types are metal side bars with heavy duty joints, conventional knee mechanisms for above-knee amputees and special polycentric linkage mechanisms for through-knee amputees. An investigation in Sweden in 1979 showed that over 50%

Tourniquet versus no tourniquet on knee-extension strength early after fast-track total knee arthroplasty; a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Thigh tourniquet is commonly used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) but may contribute to pain and muscle damage. Consequently, the reduction in knee-extension strength after TKA may be caused by quadriceps muscle ischaemia underneath the ...

Anterior cruciate ligament resection has no clinical effect on mediolateral gap laxity assessment in robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty

open access: yesBone & Joint Open
Aims: The aim of this investigation was to assess the effects of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) resection on assessment of mediolateral laxity gaps during robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Tibiofemoral dynamic stressed gap laxities correlate with compartment load measurements in robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty

open access: yesBone & Joint Open, 2021
Aims: It is unknown whether gap laxities measured in robotic arm-assisted total knee arthroplasty (TKA) correlate to load sensor measurements. The aim of this study was to determine whether symmetry of the maximum medial and lateral gaps in extension and
