Recurrent patellar dislocation may be associated with trochlear dysplasia. Trochleaplasty is a surgical procedure which strives to deepen the groove. We evaluated clinical and radiological effect of trochleaplasty after minimum follow-up 2 years.We examined 19 knees in 16 patients at mean 3 years trochleaplasty. Postoperatively, subjective questionnaire, Kujala score, tests for potential redislocation apprehension were evaluated. On radiographs we preoperative postoperative crossing sign,...
The natural history of small, symptomatic rotator cuff tears is currently unclear. purpose the present study was to assess clinical and structural outcomes for a consecutive series patients with symptomatic, isolated full-thickness supraspinatus who had been offered repair but declined operative treatment.In period, twenty-four that diagnosed by means magnetic resonance arthrography were elected nonoperative treatment. twenty men four women an average age fifty-two years at time diagnosis....
High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is an effective treatment option in early osteoarthritis. However, preoperative planning and surgical execution can be challenging. Computer assisted three-dimensional (3D) patient-specific instruments (PSI) might helpful tools achieving successful outcomes. Goal of this study was to assess the accuracy HTO using PSI.All medial open wedge PSI-HTO between 2014 2016 were reviewed. Using pre- postoperative radiographs, hip-knee-ankle angle (HKA) posterior slope (PTS)...
Most studies demonstrated, that training on a virtual reality based arthroscopy simulator leads to an improvement of technical skills in orthopaedic surgery. However, how long and what kind is optimal for young residents unknown. In this study we tested the efficacy standardized, competency protocol validated knee- shoulder simulator.Twenty five experts were included. All participants performed test including knee -and tasks simulator. The had complete program. Thereafter, previously...
Background: Trochlear dysplasia is one of the most important risk factors for recurrent patellar instability. It defined on true lateral conventional radiographs (CR) and axial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The type trochlear decisive surgical treatment; however, low agreement between CR MRI has been reported. Purpose: To compare Dejour classification using differing levels in literature. Study Design: Cohort study (diagnosis); Level evidence, 2. Methods: 4-type by was used to analyze...
Objectives The aim of this study was to clinically validate a Deep Convolutional Neural Network (DCNN) for the detection surgically proven anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears in large patient cohort and analyze effect magnetic resonance examinations from different institutions, varying protocols, field strengths. Materials Methods After ethics committee approval, retrospective analysis prospectively collected data performed on 512 consecutive subjects, who underwent knee imaging (MRI)...
Abstract Objective To clinically validate a fully automated deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) for detection of surgically proven meniscus tears. Materials and methods One hundred consecutive patients were retrospectively included, who underwent knee MRI arthroscopy in our institution. All evaluated medial lateral tears by two musculoskeletal radiologists independently DCNN. Included not part the training set Surgical reports served as standard reference. Statistics included...
ABSTRACT Joint stability is a primary concern in total knee joint replacement. The GMK Sphere prosthesis was specifically designed to provide medial compartment anterior–posterior (A–P) stability, while permitting rotational freedom of the through flat lateral tibial surface. objective this study establish changes kinematics introduced by during gait activities comparison conventional posterior‐stabilized (PS) fixed‐bearing and ultra‐congruent (UC) mobile‐bearing geometries. A–P translation...
The asymmetry of the medial and lateral knee compartments contributes significantly to femorotibial biomechanics pivoting, it is reported be a relevant risk factor for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.(1) To assess role femoral condyle sphericity as ACL rupture rerupture. (2) compare new with existing bony morphological factors via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) most predictive rupture.Cohort study; Level evidence, 3.A retrospective case-control study 60 patients was conducted....
Intra-articular injections are widely used for conservative treatment of knee osteoarthritis (OA). However, rigorous data lacking regarding the comparative therapeutic effectiveness these injections.The aim this study was to compare clinical outcomes after intra-articular glucocorticoid, hyaluronic acid, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), or placebo in patients with mild moderate OA knee.In a double-blinded, placebo-controlled, single-center trial, we randomly assigned knees early- middle-stage...
