CHILDREN’S HIPS: INNOVATION IN THE DIAGNOSIS, MONITORING AND TREATMENT OF CHILDREN’S HIP DISEASES
Perthes’ disease is an idiopathic osteonecrosis of a developmental hip that is most frequent in Northern Europe. Currently, the absence of a common set of standardized outcomes makes comparisons between studies of different interventions challenging. The overarching aim of this thesis was to …

Technique and Performance Level Comparisons of Male and Female Hammer Throwers
… sexes. The separation between the shoulders and hips and between the shoulders and the hammer at particular positions during the throw, radius changes at certain phases of the throw, and generation of large centripetal forces helped determine throwing distance. Performance would be aided by …

Lower body mechanics of golf swing and its association with maximum clubhead speed in skilled golfers
… OA of the lower extremity joints (i.e., pelvis, hips, knees, and ankles) during the downswing, and normalized peak resultant joint moments(RJM) of the lower extremity joints (i.e., hips, knees, and ankles)were extracted for a correlation analysis to normalized peak clubhead speed (NPCS). Among OA …

The Fc Orth (SA) final examination The short-term outcome of hip revision arthroplasty with Trabecular Metal™ components and augments
… Trabecular Metal™ was used for revision in 16 hips (14 patients), which is 13.7% of the total 116 revisions. There were ten females and four males with an average age of 61 years. The average duration of follow-up in this group was 18.5 months (1.5– 39.2). In these 16 Trabecular Metal™ hips, …
