In synovial fluid, hyaluronic acid (HA) is an essential component for the lubrication of joints, thus preventing friction. The relationship between HA and joint friction is not unambiguously established yet. In the present study, the effect of the application of HA on the frictional coefficient in t

Chondrosarcoma of the head and neck region is a rarely encountered tumor. Aggressive surgical excision offers the best chance for cure. In our case, combined diagnostic techniques consisting of fine needle aspiration (FNA), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) made an accur
Stress analysis of the human temporomandibular joint (TMJ) consisting of mandibular disc, condyle and fossa-eminence complex during normal sagittal jaw closure was performed using non-linear finite element analysis (FEA). The geometry of the TMJ was obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Th
