To compare the clinical outcomes of inferior extensor retinaculum (IER) augmentation following repair anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) with isolated ATFL in patients an arthroscopically confirmed grade 3 lesion ATFL. We conducted a retrospective study consecutive chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI) who underwent arthroscopic between March 2018 and August 2022. The average age was 31.5 ± 7.4 years (range, 16–50 years). All all-inside repair, were divided into two groups based on...
Abstract Purpose The study aims to investigate the influence of patient- and fracture-specific factors on occurrence complications after osteosynthesis patella fractures compare knee joint function, activity, subjective pain levels a regular postoperative course in medium term. Methods This retrospective, multicenter cohort examined patients who received surgery for fracture at level 1 trauma centers between 2013 2018. Patient demographics variables were evaluated. Final follow-up...
The treatment of patella fractures is technically demanding. Although the radiological results are mostly satisfactory, this often does not correspond to subjective assessment patients. classical with tension band wiring K‑wires has several complications. Fixed-angle plate osteosynthesis seems be biomechanically advantageous.Who treating in Germany? What current standard treatment? Have modern forms become established? most important complications?The members German Society for Orthopedics...
Displaced midshaft clavicular fractures can be treated conservatively as well operatively by titan elastic nail (TEN) or plate fixation. This survey was performed to evaluate the clinical results of each treatment method and elaborate advantages possible complications modality. Between 2008 2013, 102 patients were prospectively included in our study—37 for conservative with a rucksack bandage 4 6 weeks, 41 osteosynthesis, 24 intramedullary stabilization TEN. Disabilities Arm, Shoulder Hand...
Abstract Purpose Given that tibial plateau fractures (TPF) are rare, they may pose a challenge to the treating surgeon due their variety of complex fracture patterns. Numerous studies have identified potential fracture-specific, surgery-related, and patient-related risk factors for impaired patient outcomes. However, reports on influence bone metabolism functional outcomes missing. Methods In retrospective multicenter cohort study, 122 TPF 121 patients were analyzed with respect radiological...
Abstract Introduction Epidemiological injury surveillance in professional sports is often based on online media analysis order to collect necessary data. However, the validation of this study protocol lacking. Therefore, aimed identify validity men’s team reports. Methods In a retrospective cohort study, media-data-relating injuries was investigated participating teams highest two German divisions basketball (BB) and handball (HB) season 2018/2019. Injury protocols completed by physicians...
Purpose: While injuries among elite tennis athletes are extensively documented, a notable research gap exists regarding club-level players. This study examines in German league players, with particular emphasis on the impact of racquet properties and court surfaces, distinguishing between chronic acute injuries. Patients Methods: Retrospectively analyzing data from 600 players over 1.5-year period, standardized questionnaire covered anthropometrics, injury characteristics, equipment usage,...
Suture pretension during tendon repair is supposed to increase the resistance gap formation. However, its effects on Bunnell suture technique are unknown. The purpose of this study was determine biomechanical and cross-lock techniques for repair. Eighty porcine hindlimb tendons were randomly assigned four different groups: those repaired with or without using either a simple technique. Pretension applied as 10 % shortening sutured tendon. After measuring cross-sectional diameter at site,...
The aim of this study was the analysis incidence and type injury in German elite powerlifters. A total n = 57 competitive athletes powerlifting federation completed a retrospective survey regarding acute overuse injuries.With 224 injuries, mean 1.51 per 1.000 h or 0.49 year calculated. Most injuries affected lower back (20.5%), elbow (11.2%), pelvic region (10.3) shoulder (9.8%). Regarding inflammation (25.9%), muscle strains/sprains (20.5%) skin lesions (13%) dominated. significantly...
Purpose : To analyze the energetic profiles of Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Tests 1 and 2 (YYIR1 YYIR2). Methods running distance (IR1D IR2D), time to exhaustion (IR1T IR2T), total recovery between shuttles (IR1R IR2R) were measured in 10 well-trained male athletes (age 24.4 [2.0] y, height 182 [1] cm, weight 75.8 [7.9] kg). Respiratory gases blood lactate (BLC) obtained preexercise, during exercise, until 15 min postexercise. Metabolic energy, average metabolic power , energy share...
Surfing, wind surfing and kite enjoy a growing popularity with large number of athletes worldwide. The aim this study was to identify compare the injury profiles these three extreme water sports.These data for retrospective cohort were collected through an online standardised questionnaire during 2017-18 season. included questions about anthropometry, skill level, diagnosis, mechanism, environmental conditions training regimes.The 626 reported 2584 injuries. On average, each athlete...
The coronal unicondylar fracture of the distal femur (AO 33-B3) is a rare intraarticular injury within weight bearing area knee, initially described by Albert Hoffa in 1904. We report an unusual combination with lateral patellar dislocation young adult. Our patient sustained sudden twist his leg during sports. He presented clinically knee swelling, patella, and localized tenderness; unable to bare weight. After plane radiograph confirmed injury, manual reduction patella was done...
Abstract Background To identify injury patterns and mechanisms in professional men’s basketball by means of video match analysis. Methods In Germany, injuries are registered with the statutory accident insurance for athletes (VBG) clubs or club physicians as part occupational reporting. Moderate severe (absence > 7 days) sustained during competition one four seasons (2014–2017 2018–2019) first second national league Germany were prospectively analyzed using a newly developed standardized...
Tibial plateau fractures are mostly complex and surgically demanding joint fractures, which require a comprehensive understanding of the fracture morphology, ligamentous neurovascular injuries, as well diagnostic therapeutic options for an optimal clinical outcome. Therefore, standardised structured approach is required. The success treatment tibial relies on interdisciplinary cooperation between surgical conservative physicians in outpatient inpatient setting, physical therapists, patients...
