the efficacy and safety of using a suspensory button for femoral fixation in anatomical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft have not been established. The purpose current study was to evaluate bone plug integration onto socket migration EndoButton (EB) (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA, USA) after rectangular tunnel ACL BPTB autograft.thirty-four patients who underwent EB whom three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) performed one...
Recently, remnant-preserving anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been increasingly performed to achieve revascularization, cell proliferation, and recovery of high-quality proprioception. However, poor arthroscopic visualization makes accurate socket placement during ACL difficult. This study describes a surgical technique used create an anatomical femoral with three-dimensional (3D) fluoroscopy based navigation system technically demanding reconstruction.After reference...
Post-operative meniscal cyst formation occurs following all-inside device repair. This study aimed to compare the incidence of cysts in patients who underwent repair with and without suture devices.
Till date, there are no clear guidelines regarding the treatment of multiple ligament knee injuries. Ligament repair is advantageous as it preserves proprioception and does not involve grafting. Many studies have reported use open reconstruction for injuries; however, reports on arthroscopic-combined single-stage anterior cruciate (ACL) posterior (PCL) repairs scarce. In this report, we describe a case type III dislocation (ACL, PCL, medial collateral (MCL) injuries) in 43-year-old man,...
PurposeTo assess the clinical outcomes comparing rectangular bone–tendon–bone (BTB) grafts and double-bundle hamstring tendon (HM) used for anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in young female athletes.MethodsFrom January 2014 to November 2017, athletes 20 years or younger who underwent primary ACL reconstructions by a single surgeon were identified. Patients with concomitant injuries, not being regular sports participant, existence of contralateral reconstruction, did...
Abstract Background Intramedullary screw fixation is considered the standard treatment for proximal fifth metatarsal stress fractures. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) a well-known bone-healing enhancement device. However, to best of our knowledge, no clinical study has focused on effect LIPUS postoperative bone union in This aimed investigate after intramedullary Methods Between January 2015 and March 2020, patients who underwent fractures were investigated retrospectively. All using...
Abstract Purpose The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction via a contralateral bone-tendon-bone (C-BTB) autograft was introduced to encourage early return sports. purpose of this study is evaluate whether primary BTB ACL can be adapted for return-to-sports modification by investigating the chronological changes muscle strength after surgery. Methods Fifteen patients who had underwent C-BTB were compared with matched group 15 ipsilateral (I-BTB) reconstruction. clinical outcomes...
Lateral meniscal repair of the popliteal hiatus is technically demanding. The inside-out technique requires an additional incision and carries risk posterolateral soft tissue damage to knee joint. In addition, presence tendon limits route suture thread. Within current trend all-inside technique, suture-based demonstrates biomechanical advantages over anchor-based repair. We introduce a for longitudinal lateral tears.
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Purpose</bold>: Use of a gracilis tendon in medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction has not been reported widely yet. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes MCL using tendon. <bold>Methods</bold>: Primary superficial (sMCL) was performed 10 knees athletes, involving three isolated injuries, four and anterior cruciate (ACL) posterior (PCL) injuries cases. Return-to-play, outcome, re-injury incidence were investigated...
