Investigation of the relationship between foot deformities and radiographic measurements of the talus and calcaneus

Int. j. morphol; 40 (6), 2022
SUMMARY: The weight of the body is transmitted to the foot through the subtalar joint and talus. Considering the important location of the talus and calcaneus, the morphological structures of these bones may affect the biomechanics of the subtalar joint. At the same time, the morphological structure of t...

Ultrasound reference values for the calcaneus of children and adolescents at moderate altitudes in Peru

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 97 (1), 2021
Abstract Objective: a) Establish reference values for bone parameters by using the speed of sound (SOS, m/s) of broadband ultrasound attenuation (BUA, dB/MHz) and establish a bone quality index (BQI = αSOS + βBUA) for children and adolescents living in a region of moderate altitude, b) compare...

Calidad ósea en poblaciones contemporáneas. Análisis de la estructura trabecular calcánea en una muestra esqueletal

Rev. argent. radiol; 84 (2), 2020
Resumen Objetivo: La osteoporosis es una condición de relevancia a nivel epidemiológico en Argentina, así como en el resto del mundo. Si bien actualmente la herramienta diagnóstica más relevante es la densitometría ósea, los análisis radiológicos pueden aportar información, principalmente en ...

Ultrasound of entheses in ankylosing spondylitis patients: The importance of the calcaneal and quadriceps entheses for differentiating patients from healthy individuals

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: To compare the ultrasonographic findings of entheses in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients with those of healthy control individuals and to assess the ability of ultrasound (US) to identify aspects related to the disease. METHODS: A cross-sectional study involving 50 patients with AS and 3...

Comparison between the gold standard DXA with calcaneal quantitative ultrasound based-strategy (QUS) to detect osteoporosis in an HIV infected cohort

Braz. j. infect. dis; 21 (6), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction: Osteoporosis represents one of the most frequent comorbidity among HIV patients. The current standard method for osteoporosis diagnosis is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Calcaneal quantitative ultrasound can provide information about bone quality. The aims of this study are to ...
