To describe rates of conversion to unicompartmental or total knee arthroplasty (KA) in patients over the age 40 years (at initial surgery) after partial meniscectomy (ME) meniscal repair (MR).
To investigate the incidence and risk factors associated with loss of motion after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) during coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic (COVID-19).
Meniscus tears are prevalent in isolation and combination with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. lesions can be difficult to access often display complex tear patterns, which result technical challenges for the operating surgeon during surgical treatment. The aim of this video article is demonstrate tips tricks performing all-inside repair challenging meniscus tears. presented techniques indicated young, physically active patients symptomatic lateral medial menisci, or without...
Background: Knee instability due to posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and posterolateral corner (PLC) deficiency is a devastating condition that negatively affects patient quality of life. This video presents the surgical management triple varus knee, including combined high tibial osteotomy (HTO), revision PCL PLC reconstruction, meniscus root repair. Indications: Combined HTO reconstruction indicated for patients with previously failed in setting malalignment. Technique Description: The...
PurposeTo describe rates of revision surgery and recurrence events, to evaluate functional outcomes RTP a cohort Division 1 collegiate American football players who underwent arthroscopic labral repair for shoulder instability.MethodsD1 undergoing surgical management instability between 2017-2021 at single institution were included. Demographics, imaging, details, postoperative outcomes, including Western Ontario Shoulder Instability Index (WOSI), collected. Hill-Sachs lesions glenoid bone...
Peroneal tendon subluxation is a rare pathology, generally associated with sport-induced trauma, that occurs due to the rupture of superior peroneal retinaculum. The diagnosis mainly clinical, but use imaging techniques, such as dynamic ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging, may contribute its clarification. Treatment be conservative or surgical, although there no consensus on most appropriate technique employed. We report case peroneus brevis tendon, apparent traumatic cause, in which...
Background: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in pediatric population have been exponentially increasing over years. However, surgical techniques typically employed for ACL reconstruction (ACL-R) adults may injure physes of skeletally immature patients, resulting growth disturbances. Indications: Currently, ACL-R is recommended most aiming return patient their previous activities as well reduce risk further instability, meniscal and chondral injuries, early osteoarthritis....
