Patients who undergo anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) can have a persistent postoperative pivot shift. Performing lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) concurrently has been proposed to address this; however, LET femoral fixation may interfere with the ACLR tunnel, which could damage ACL graft or its fixation.To evaluate safe maximum implant tunnel depth for modified Lemaire when combined anteromedial portal drilling and validate angles avoid conflict...
We aimed to identify the anterolateral ligament (ALL) tears in anterior cruciate (ACL)-deficient knees using standard 1.5-Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).We included all patients who underwent primary ACL reconstruction at our center between 2012 and 2015. Exclusion criteria with multiple injuries, lateral collateral ligament, posterolateral corner, infections, MRI more than 2 months after their injury. All (n = 148) had that were subsequently arthroscopically reconstructed. The (MR)...
Arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction predictably restores sagittal plane knee stability, however its inability to replicate a complex fan-shaped of multiple fascicles, along with deficient restoration normal rotational kinematics, results in failure reverse high risk for premature post-traumatic osteoarthritis. Although arthroscopic repair acute ACL femoral avulsions is proposed counter these deficiencies, the early following non-healing, lack convincing evidence...
Abstract Meniscus root tears are increasingly being studied due to their importance in meniscus function. can increase the joint contact pressure significantly, similar a total meniscectomy. This may cause rapid progression of degeneration and produce inferior clinical outcome. Historically, they were treated with partial meniscectomy, which did not change natural history. New repair techniques such as transtibial pull-out suture anchor have improved review article summarises anatomy...
Arthroscopic Bankart repair is a widely accepted procedure to treat recurrent shoulder dislocation. This study aims describe our experience with arthroscopic and its functional outcome.107 patients who underwent from 2008 2013 were followed up for minimum of three years reviewed by an independent observer. 80 consented being interviewed using the Oxford Shoulder Instability Score (OSIS) Simple Test.82 shoulders (two bilateral) studied. Mean age at first dislocation was 19.4 ± 3.4 (12.0-31.0)...
Surgical treatment of the symptomatic discoid lateral meniscus has undergone a paradigm shift since recognition development accelerated osteoarthritis with subtotal meniscectomies. Current strategies have shifted towards preservation, and meniscoplasty is considered gold standard at present. Meniscoplasty saucerization recreates crescent shape for improved shock absorption, load transmission joint stability. This shown good mid- to long-term outcomes in children adolescents literature. As...
Case: The authors report a case of piriformis pyomyositis in teenage female patient with fever and left hip pain. Her pain migrated to the knee concurrent near resolution Imaging revealed an abscess pus tracking along sciatic nerve sheath. This was complicated by internal iliac vein thrombosis embolus lung. Open drainage performed, followed outpatient intravenous cloxacillin oral warfarin, complete symptoms. Conclusion: Piriformis is rare condition varying presentations. threshold for...
Background: This systematic review aims to determine the best modality for management of meniscal cysts and its associated meniscus tear; whether cyst treated via arthroscopy or open methods debridement repair achieves better results. Methods: was performed using PRISMA guidelines. A literature search PubMed, EMBASE Cochrane carried out in July 2020 terms ‘meniscal cyst’ ‘treatment’. All clinic studies that included filters papers last 20 years, English language, found humans were included....

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is the mainstay of treatment for active individuals with ACL injuries.The ability to return pre-injury activity important patients after (ACLR). 1,2espite that, ideal timeline sport widely debated.Nine 12 months surgery have been recommended as an ACLR sports. 3However, recent studies shown a higher risk reinjury up 2 years and great variability in patient outcomes remains. 4Therefore, we sought evaluate functional improvement our cohort...
