Abstract Background: Torsional malalignment has been considered as a risk factor for patellar dislocation. But the influence of patellar dislocation for torsional alignment development remains unknown. The present study aims to investigate whether the torsional alteration of the hindlimb occurs after patellar dislocation in growing rabbits.Methods: In the present study, 30 one-month-old rabbits were included. The experimental group consisted of 30 left knees of rabbits which underwent patellar lateral dislocation. The control group consisted of 30 right knees of the rabbits which no surgical procedure was performed. The Computed Tomography (CT) scan was performed after the surgery and at the point the rabbits were skeletal mature (5 months post-surgery). The angles of femoral version and tibial torsion were measured using a three-dimensional method and analyzed between the experimental group and the control group.Results: After the surgery, the femoral version and tibial torsion in the experimental and control group were not significantly different. However, 5 months after surgery, the angle of femoral version in the experimental group (-5.50 ± 6.13°) was significantly different from that in the control group (-10.90 ± 4.74°) (P < 0.05). But the angle of tibial torsion in the experimental group (7.17 ± 7.25°) and control group (4.47 ± 6.34°) were not significantly different (P = 0.144).Conclusion: From this study, patellar dislocation can lead to alteration of femoral version in growing rabbits. So patellar dislocation may affect on lower extremity alignment. These findings may develop pathology and etiology of patellar dislocation.

Conclusion From this study, patellar dislocation can lead to alteration of femoral version in growing rabbits. This may indicate the early treatment for patellar dislocation in children is particularly important to avoid torsional malalignment in the future.

Abstract Background: Torsional malalignment in transverse plan has been regarded as a risk factor for patella dislocation. But the influence of patella dislocation for torsional alignment development remains unknown. The present study aims to investigate whether the torsion alteration of the hindlimb occur after patella dislocation in growing rabbits. Methods : Thirty rabbits that were 1 months old were included in the study. The left knees of each rabbit (N = 30 knees/group), were underwent patella lateral dislocation operation and defined as the experimental group. The right knees of each rabbit, defined as the control group (N =30 knees/group), did not undergo any surgical procedures. Computed tomography was performed on each knee immediately post-surgery and 5 months post-surgery to measure femoral version and tibial torsion. The angles was analyzed between the experimental group and control group. Results : The femoral version and tibia torsion in the experimental and control group were not significantly different immediately after surgery. However, 5 months after surgery, the femoral version of the experimental group (-5.50±6.13°) was significantly different with that of the experimental group (-10.90±4.74°)( P < 0.05). But the tibia angle in the experimental group (7.17±7.25°) and control group (4.47±6.34°) were not significantly different ( P = 0.144). Conclusion : Patella dislocation can lead to significant change in femoral version in growing rabbits. Thus if adolescents suffer from patella dislocation or instability for a long time in growing period, the torsional malalignment in lower limbs may occur.

Abstract Purpose Determining a new imaging method on full-leg standing lower limb radiographs to predict excessive femoral anteversion in patients with patellar dislocation.Methods This study included 119 patients with patellar dislocation from January 2014 to January 2021. The femoral anteversion and tibial torsion were measured by CT scanning. The medial condylar angle was measured by the full-leg standing lower limb radiographs. Pearson correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between rotation parameters and medial condylar angle.Results Included patients were divided into DFO group and control group according to whether they received derotational femoral osteotomy (DFO) operation or not. There were significant statistical differences in femoral anteversion, tibial torsion and medial condylar angle between DFO group and control group (P < 0.05). This showed that there was a smaller medial condylar angle in patients undergoing DFO operation. Correlation analysis showed that the values of femoral anteversion were significantly correlated with medial condylar angle (r= -0.719, P < 0.001). Conclusion This study showed that medial condylar angle had a negative correlation with excessive femoral anteversion on the full-leg standing lower limb radiographs. The medial condylar angle can be a good predictor of femoral anteversion and can be used to guide the performance of DFO to treat patellar dislocation in clinical practice.

This study was aimed at finding out The Effect of Applying POSSE (Predict-Organize-Search-Summarize-Evaluate) Strategy on the Students’ Reading Comprehension. This study used the experimental design. The population of this study was the students of SMA Negeri 2 Medan. There were sixty students taken as the sample of the research. This study was conducted with two randomized groups namely experimental and control group. The experimental group was taught by applying POSSE strategy while control group was taught without applying POSSE strategy. The instrument of collecting the data was multiple choice test which consists of 40 items. To obtain the reliability of the test, the researcher used Kuder-Richardson (KR-21). The calculation shows the reliability was 0.81(high). The data were analyzed by using t-test. The calculation shows that t-observed (4.76) is higher than t-table (2.00) at the level of significance (α) 0.05 with the degree of freedom (df) 58. Therefore, the null hypothesis (Ho) is rejected and alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted. It means that there was a significant effect of applying POSSE strategy on the students’ reading comprehension. Keywords: POSSE Strategy, Reading Comprehension.

This thesis is focused on the investigation of the effect of applying animal cartoon pictures on students’ achievement in writing narrative text. This study aims to find whether applying animal cartoon pictures significantly affect the students’ writing achievement or not. The data in this study were obtained by administering a written test. The population was the 2015/2016 first year (grade XI) of SMA Swasta Nusantara Lubuk Pakam and 66 students were taken as the sample by using random sampling. The sample was divided into two groups, experimental and control groups. The experimental group was taught by applying animal cartoon pictures while the control group without animal cartoon pictures (x = lecturing). The data were taken the scores from the pre-test and post-test to both experimental and control groups. These data were analyzed by using t-test. The result of computing the t-test obviously showed that t-observed is higher than t-table (5.21 >1,67) with the degree of freedom 64 (df =N-2) at the level significance 0,05 one tail test. It showed that the application of animal cartoon pictures significantly affected the students of SMA Swasta Nusantara Lubuk Pakam achievement in writing narrative text.

This study was conducted to know the effect of applying Peer Review Strategy on the students’ achievement in writing descriptive paragraph. It was conducted by using experimental research method. This research design was conducted pre-test, post test in experimental and control group. The population of this research was the eight (VIII) grade students of SMP IT IQRA’ Medan. The sample of this research was taken by lottery technique. They were in class VIII-1 by experimental group and the class VIII-2 by control group. The experimental group was taught by using Peer Review Strategy while the control group was given no treatment. The instrument used to collect the data was writing essay test. The data were analyzed by using t-test formula. The result showed that the value of t-observed was higher than the value of t-table. (3,55 > 2,05 (a = 0.05)) with the degree of freedom (df) = 28. It means that there was a significant effect of applying Peer Review Strategy on the students’ achievement in writing descriptive paragraph. So, the alternative hypothesis (Ha) was accepted.
