Abstract:
Thirty-seven patients (52 idiopathic clubfeet) were treated with Codivilla's technique between 1971 and 1985. Radiological measurements and clinical evaluation before and after surgery were performed; a correlation was carried out between these evaluations and personal satisfaction. The results were rated as follows: poor in 4 feet (7.7%), fair in 18 feet (34.6%), good in 24 feet (46.2%) and excellent in 6 feet (11.5%) with a total percentage of satisfactory results amounting to 57.7%. Our conclusion is that when the indications are properly established, Codivilla's technique is a good procedure to correct clubfoot.

Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
