Background: Reported infection rates following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are low, but infections associated with high morbidity including reoperations and inferior clinical outcomes. The purpose of the current study was to investigate rate after ACL without graft preparation a vancomycin irrigant. Methods: All reconstructions performed between May 2009 August 2018 at single academic institution were reviewed categorized based on use. Patients <90-day follow-up,...

Metaphyseal cones with cemented stems are frequently used in revision total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, if the diaphysis has been previously violated, resultant sclerotic canal can impair stem fixation, which is vital for bone ingrowth into cone, and long-term fixation. We report outcomes of our solution to this problem, impaction grafting a combined an uncemented metaphyseal TKA patients severely compromised bone.A cone was diaphyseal 35 TKAs. There were two follow-up less than years...

Fractures of the lateral humeral condyle represent second most common elbow fracture in children and physeal about elbow. Growth disturbances after this fracture, including premature arrest, are rare but important complications. Only 4 radiographically documented reports arrest exist to date with just 1 offering comparative views. No computed tomography (CT) evidence event has previously been reported literature. The purpose study is provide well-documented radiographic capitellar growth...

Patellar height has long been considered a risk factor for patellofemoral instability. However, recent pediatric literature demonstrated reduction in patellar measurements following medial ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.To assess the mean change and percentage of skeletally mature patients with ratios reduced to within-normal limits MPFL reconstruction.Case series; Level evidence, 4.Adult undergoing primary reconstruction recurrent lateral instability between 2005 2013 were identified.

Background: The effectiveness of prophylactic knee bracing in preventing injuries during sports has been evaluated; however, because the variability study conclusions, topic remains controversial. Despite a paucity data, authors believe that is frequently used off-road motorcycling. Hypothesis: No statistically significant difference exists frequency and types incurred between braced nonbraced riders using commercially available braces Study Design: Descriptive epidemiology study. Methods:...

Periacetabular osteotomies (PAOs) are used to treat acetabular dysplasia in younger patients, but not without morbidity. Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) injuries commonly associated with the approach for PAOs, true incidence and rate of resolution is known. The purpose this prospective study was determine LFCN after PAO using an innovative conduction (NCS) report patient-reported outcomes. We prospectively enrolled 23 patients (24 hips) undergoing PAOs have pre- post-operative NCSs at...

Simultaneous volar dislocations of the second through fifth carpometacarpal joints are rare injuries, usually a result high-energy trauma to hand. The literature regarding this topic is sparse and consists primarily case reports. We present associated with median nerve contusion that was treated open reduction pin fixation. injury resolved without incident, pins were removed at 10 weeks loss reduction. Three years postoperatively, patient pain had excellent use his hand strength or motion deficit.
