The weight, height and calculated Z score for height/age and body mass index; bone mineral content, bone mineral density and adjusted bone mineral density were established

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate how bone mineral density in the calcaneus measured by a dual energy X-ray laser (DXL) correlates with bone mineral density in the spine and hip in Turkish

In this study on cases of extensive rotator cuff injury, with a retracted supraspinatus tendon and a deficient rotator interval, repair of the posterior portion of the rotator

Methods: This was a retrospective evaluation of patients who underwent arthroscopic revi- sion of rotator cuff injuries using the ASES, Constant & Murley and UCLA scores and

The functional results from the patients who presented com- plete tearing of the rotator cuff alone, subsequent to traumatic dislocation of the shoulder, and who underwent

Methods: From the sample of the study conducted by our group in 2006, in which we evalu- ated the functional results from arthroscopic repair of massive rotator cuff tears, 35

Conclusion: Preliminary results of the present study suggest that ultrasonography can identify bone abnormalities secondary to rotator cuff calcific tendinopathy, particularly

As was described in our article, and commented on by two readers, bone mass is assessed in terms of bone mineral content (CMO, in grams) and mineral density (DMO, the ratio of CMO
