The load-distributing function is most critical in meniscal function, and extrusion suggests failure of this leading to the progression osteoarthritis. arthroscopic centralization technique has been developed reduce extrusion; however, existing techniques sometimes fail extruded region, especially cases with a medial meniscus (MM) posterior root tear, which region on border collateral ligament, very difficult approach. This Technical Note describes an for MM using knotless anchors...
Delayed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction often causes residual anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) and consequent knee osteoarthritis, warranting the recommendation of early ACL within 6 months after injury. Nonetheless, some cases show notable instability, even shortly The purpose this study was to identify risk factors for an increase in quantitatively measured pivot shift patients with ACL-deficient knees
Background: A high prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) progression in patients with lateral meniscal defects has been reported. However, optimal management techniques for active remain ill-defined. Hypothesis: Meniscoplasty by capsular advancement the application centralization technique would improve clinical and radiological outcomes compartment OA attributed to defects. Study Design: Case series; Level evidence, 4. Methods: total 27 were enrolled who had undergone meniscoplasty In these...
Re-alignment surgeries for uni-compartmental knee osteoarthritis, such as high tibial osteotomy (HTO) varus knees or distal femoral (DFO) valgus knees, are recognized standard strategies. However, the treatment strategy has not been established patients with a neutrally-aligned osteoarthritic severe joint line obliquity (JLO) owing to combination of femur and tibia; i.e., type II coronal plane alignment (CPAK). total arthroplasty (TKA) can be an option CPAK II-aligned osteoarthritis in older...
Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) reduces participation in sports activities for adolescents, and, unresolved cases of the which daily life or activity after skeletal maturity are affected, surgical intervention to remove ossicle is performed alleviate symptoms. We present a real-time virtual sonography (RVS)–guided removal OSD. The knee joint angle set at 20°, same position used magnetic resonance imaging. A 1.5-cm longitudinal skin incision made medial side tuberosity. An ultrasound probe...
Many middle-aged and older adults participate in running to maintain their health fitness; however, some have stop due osteoarthritis-attributed knee pain. It was unclear whether gait biomechanics physical findings differ between those who can cannot run.
In conventional closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO) with preservation of the medial hinge, flexion contracture cannot be improved because two-dimensional correction. Conversely, in hybrid CWHTO, for which name is derived from a lateral closing and opening, cortex intentionally disrupted. The hinge disruption enables three-dimensional correction, helps eliminate by decreasing posterior slope (PTS). fine adjustment anterior distance thigh-compression technique further facilitates PTS...
Abstract This open‐label, multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled trial aimed to determine the effectiveness of esflurbiprofen plaster (SFPP) and flurbiprofen tablets (FPTs) on knee osteoarthritis in patients scheduled for total arthroplasty by comparing transfer tissues fluids. Thirty‐eight were randomly assigned a 1:1 ratio receive SFPP or FPT. Both groups then divided into four subgroups, according whether they received final dose FPT at 2, 7, 12, 24 h before planned surgery. The...
The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes between revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft and that double-bundle hamstring tendon (HT) autograft. Consecutive cases ACLRs were reviewed. Lysholm knee scale Knee Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) recorded at the final follow-up. pivot shift test, Lachman laxity measurement an arthrometer evaluated before ACLR Contralateral also evaluated, side-to-side...
The aim of this study was to retrospectively compare bone substitute fracture patterns and outcomes in patients who underwent open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) with OSferion60 or Marvelous substitutes. Patients without fractures were compared risk factors for identified. Included physically active non-smokers knee osteoarthritis deformity the proximal tibia, persistent pain, <5° flexion contracture. OWHTO performed a TriS plate target femorotibial angle (FTA) 170°. Full weight-bearing...
Abstract Purpose The correlation of cartilage thickness measured by three‐dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and the medial meniscal coverage ratio (MMCR), which presented pathology meniscus extrusion (MME) in 3D MRI, has not yet been elucidated. study's purpose was to retrospectively verify whether average calculated automatic MRI analysis system for each subregion correlated with MMCR. Methods A total 60 patients underwent repair or high tibial osteotomy treat their knee...
Closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO) may be carried out to realign the knee in patients with osteoarthritis who do not meet criteria for open-wedge or total arthroplasty. The procedure involves both fibular and osteotomy, care is needed prevent peroneal nerve vessel injury during osteotomy. Notably, use of a tourniquet mask development hematomas aneurysms until after surgery. We developed 3-step ankle-angle-adjusting (triple-A) technique relax muscles, allowing easy retraction vessels....
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS) causes joint hypermobility and dislocation. Since there are no reports of proximal tibiofibular (PTFJ) dislocation caused by EDS, little is known about the long-term course this disease. A woman in her 40s presented with a posterolaterally depressed tibial condyle severe valgus deformity long-standing PTFJ due to EDS. Considering pathology, posterolateral open-wedge high osteotomy (PLOWHTO) medial closed-wedge distal femoral were performed according analysis....
Patellar subluxation and recurrent dislocation are commonly treated with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, patients predisposing factors for these problems often require additional bony realignment procedures. However, procedures mainly address in the axial plane, medial-compartmental knee osteoarthritis may further coronal plane. In this Technical Note article, we introduce our technique derotational hybrid closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy. Using technique, simultaneous...
