The biomechanical effects of lateral meniscal posterior root tears with and without meniscofemoral ligament (MFL) in anterior cruciate (ACL)-deficient knees have not been studied detail.To determine the meniscus (LM) tear ACL-intact ACL-deficient knees. In addition, disrupting MFLs were evaluated.Controlled laboratory study.Ten paired cadaveric mounted a 6-degrees-of-freedom robot for testing divided into 2 groups. sectioning order group 1 was (1) ACL, (2) LM root, (3) MFLs, MFLs. For each...
Background: The Latarjet procedure is commonly performed using either the classic or congruent-arc technique. Each technique has potential clinical advantages and disadvantages. However, data on anatomic biomechanical effects, benefits, limitations of each are limited. Hypothesis/Purpose: To compare anatomy fixation strength (failure load) between 2 techniques. It was hypothesized that would have superior initial when compared with this be affected by sex coracoid size. Study Design:...
Hip capsulotomy is routinely performed during arthroscopic surgery to achieve adequate exposure of the joint. Iatrogenic instability can result after hip because capsular insufficiency, which be avoided with effective closure capsule. There currently no consensus in literature regarding optimal quantity sutures upon maximal stability postoperatively. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose this study was determine failure torques 1-, 2-, and 3-suture constructs for resist external rotation extension...
Abstract Background The femur is the most common site of metastasis in appendicular skeleton, and metastatic bone disease negatively influences quality life. Orthopaedic surgeons are often faced with deciding whether to prophylactically stabilize an impending fracture, it unclear if prophylactic fixation increases likelihood survival. Questions/purposes Is stabilization patients associated different overall survival than a complete pathologic fracture? Methods We performed retrospective,...
Multiple ligament knee injuries are complex pathologies that often result from traumatic dislocations. Both a high level of suspicion and thorough clinical radiographic examination mandatory to diagnose identify all injured structures. Reconstruction ligaments is recommended aid in early mobilization avoid joint stiffness or graft failure. For dislocations involving injury the anterior cruciate ligament, posterior medial-sided structures, repair augmentation medial collateral together with...
Arthrofibrosis in the suprapatellar pouch and anterior interval can develop after knee injury or surgery, resulting pain. These adhesions have not been biomechanically characterized.The biomechanical effects of during simulated quadriceps muscle contraction from 0 to 90° flexion were assessed. Adhesions hypothesized alter patellofemoral contact biomechanics increase force compared no adhesions.Across all angles, increased by a mean 80 N. Similarly, 36 Combined 120 Suprapatellar resulted...
The effect of ankle positioning during suture-button fixation for syndesmosis repair on range motion (ROM) and anatomic reduction has yet to be investigated. purpose this cadaveric study was compare the effects 3 different positions volumetric syndesmosis, fibular displacement, ROM using 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) analysis. null hypothesis that position would not affect syndesmotic volume restoration, or ROM.Twelve matched pair (n = 24) human specimens were used study. Prior...
While recent studies have addressed the biomechanical function of ligamentum teres and provided descriptions reconstruction techniques, its detailed quantitative anatomy remains relatively undocumented. Moreover, there is a lack consensus in literature regarding number morphology acetabular attachments teres.To provide clinically relevant anatomic description native human teres.Descriptive laboratory study.Ten cadaveric hemipelvises, complete with femurs (mean age, 59.6 years; range, 47-65...
The incidence of total shoulder arthroplasty (anatomic and reverse) is increasing as indications expand. purpose this study to identify predictors short-term complications readmission following for patients with glenohumeral osteoarthritis.The American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program was used 12,982 who underwent or from 2011-2016. Demographic data, postoperative complications, within 30 days were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression determine...
Introduction: Opioid prescribing patterns play an important role in the opioid epidemic United States. The purpose of this study is to examine trends and geographic variation after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Hypothesis: Regional differences ACL reconstruction are present. Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Level Evidence: 4. Methods: Truven Health MarketScan Commercial Claims database was used analyze all patients with perioperative private insurance coverage...
Objectives Diabetes has been associated with poor healing and prior literature shown worse functional outcomes in diabetic patients undergoing both open arthroscopic shoulder surgery. However, the effects of diabetes on perioperative complications for non-arthroplasty type procedures are not well defined. The purpose this study was to analyze 30-day following surgery.Methods American College Surgeons National Surgical Quality Improvement Program used identify who underwent (excluding...
