Abstract Introduction Previous studies have reported that alignment changes depend on the patient’s position in orthopedic surgery. However, it has not yet been well examined how affects preoperative planning high-tibial osteotomy (HTO). Therefore, aim of this study was to investigate effects HTO. Materials and methods A total 60 knees 55 patients who underwent HTO were retrospectively examined. Virtual for medial open-wedge (OWHTO), lateral closed-wedge (CWHTO), hybrid CWHTO performed by...

This study aimed to evaluate the differences between mechanical axis (MA) in standing and supine positions patients who underwent high tibial osteotomy (HTO) or distal tuberosity (DTO) based on surgical indication for joint line convergence angle (JLCA). Seventy-one knees of 69 with JLCA < 6° position a difference 3° had undergone medial open-wedge HTO DTO were included this study. The %MA (%MAst %MAsp, respectively) (JLCAst JLCAsp, determined using preoperative postoperative long-leg-view...

Background: Biomechanical cadaveric studies have shown that Kaplan fibers (KFs) of the iliotibial band play a role in controlling anterolateral rotatory knee laxity anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. However, clinical setting, contribution injury to KFs on remains unclear. Purpose: To use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans detect concomitant KF ACL-injured knees and then examine effect as measured by pivot-shift test setting. Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level evidence, 3....

Treatment of massive osteochondral defects the medial femoral condyle is challenging. A 46-year-old man who had a fracture on his left knee underwent osteosynthesis in hospital, but pain remained and patient was referred to our hospital 8 months after surgery. Radiographs showed varus alignment leg, magnetic resonance image necrotic area condyle. The received high tibial osteotomy (HTO) combined with iliac cancellous bone graft an autograft transplantation. Pain function markedly improved 2...

To assess the incidence of anterolateral ligament (ALL) and Kaplan fiber iliotibial band (KF) injuries in patients with acute anterior cruciate (ACL) injury on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), to investigate association between these magnitude preoperative pivot-shift test. One-hundred five primary ACL were retrospectively reviewed. ALL KF assessed by MRI, subjects allocated into four groups: Group A, neither injury; B, only C, D, simultaneous injuries. Before reconstruction, tibial...
