Background: Delayed anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) is associated with an increased risk of meniscal injury. Limited data are available regarding the relationship between surgical delay and repairability in setting ACLR young patients. Purpose: To determine whether time from ACL injury to primary was incidence medial and/or lateral repair athletes who underwent treatment at ACLR. Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: Records were retrospectively...
Quadriceps weakness is common after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Blood flow restriction (BFR) training being increasingly used during ACLR rehabilitation protocols to facilitate a hypoxic cellular environment that triggers local stress response theorized promote muscle hypertrophy, thus strength, without mechanically loading healing graft. While BFR popular addition therapy, scientific methods examine following have been inconsistent or...
Minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of hallux valgus deformities has become increasingly popular. Knowledge location metatarsophalangeal (MTP) proximal capsular origin on metatarsal neck is essential surgeons in planning and executing extracapsular corrective osteotomies. A cadaveric study was undertaken to further this anatomic relationship.Ten nonpaired fresh-frozen frozen specimens were used study. Careful dissection performed, MTP joint measured from central portion head medial,...
To compare stiffness, strain, and load to failure of 4- versus 5-strand hamstring anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction human tendon allografts with femoral suspensory tibial interference screw fixation.Allograft tendons were used create 10 four-strand (4S) five-strand (5S) grafts. Grafts fixed a uniaxial electromechanical system via cortical button bioabsorbable in bone analogue. cycled from 100 Newtons (N) 250 N for 1,000 repetitions at 0.5 hertz before testing. Cyclic displacement was...
Background: In young athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, increased times from injury to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and surgery can lead the accrual of new injuries over time. Purpose: To determine patient characteristics associated differences in timing between MRI, ACL tears. Study Design: Case-control study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: We reviewed electronic medical records patients aged 13 25 years who underwent isolated primary reconstruction January 2017 June...
The authors assessed the effects of forearm rotation on proximity radial nerve and medial collateral ligament (MCL) to a proximal more distal arthroscopic anterior elbow capsulectomy. Arthroscopy was performed 10 cadaveric specimens. Sutures were passed lateral at level radiocapitellar joint edge annular ligament. Dissection measured distance from starting point MCL exit in varying degrees rotation. extent brachialis muscle coverage documented. increased pronation both levels. capsulectomy...
Objectives: For young athletes with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, ACL reconstruction is usually recommended to restore stability the knee. Previous studies have shown that increased time from injury can lead accrual of new injuries over time, specifically medial meniscus tears. In addition, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in these patients decreases predictive value MRI as a diagnostic tool for concomitant injuries. However, risk factors delay care remain undetermined. To our...
Category: Trauma; Sports Introduction/Purpose: The human Achilles tendon is functionally important for dynamic activities and a common site of injury, resulting in pain, weakness, removal from sport. While treatment options vary the opinions regarding optimal management are not uniform, percutaneous repair through commercially available guides one option that has been used United States. purpose this study was to test mechanical properties four suture permutations. Methods: This...
Category: Bunion Introduction/Purpose: Minimally invasive surgery for the treatment of hallux valgus deformities has become increasingly popular. Knowledge location MTP proximal capsular origin on metatarsal neck is critical surgeons in planning and executing extra-capsular corrective osteotomies. A cadaveric study was undertaken to further this anatomic relationship. Methods: Ten nonpaired fresh-frozen frozen specimens were used study. Careful dissection performed, joint measured from...
Category: Arthroscopy; Ankle; Sports; Trauma Introduction/Purpose: Osteochondral Lesions of the Talus (OLT) are now a commonly encountered pathology resulting in ankle pain and disability. Because growing interest support for arthroscopic management, it has become increasingly important to develop pre-operative evaluation methods determine which lesions amenable standard treatment versus use alternative strategies including posterior arthroscopy, open arthrotomy, or malleolar osteotomy....
