Neurogenic heterotopic ossification (NHO) is a disorder of aberrant bone formation affecting one in five patients sustaining spinal cord injury or traumatic brain injury. Ectopic forms around joints characteristic patterns, causing pain and limiting movement especially the hip elbow. Clinical sequelae neurogenic include urinary tract infection, pressure injuries, pneumonia poor hygiene, making early diagnosis treatment clinically compelling. However, remains difficult with more investigation...
PurposeTo determine the postsurgical strength and stiffness of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions with (ACLR-SA) without suture tape augmentation (ACLR) in a human cadaveric model.MethodsEight matched pairs knees were tested intact after bone-patellar tendon-bone ACL reconstruction. Specimens potted loaded onto mechanical testing system, an drawer force 88N was applied at 0°, 15°, 30°, 60°, 90° flexion. then to failure, clinical failure defined as translation greater than 10...
With advancements in arthroscopic techniques and instrumentation, hip arthroscopy has become an increasingly used technique to treat soft-tissue osseous pathologies about the hip. Patient predisposition labral capsular injuries can present as femoroacetabular impingement or dysplasia, sometimes combination. Capsular management continues be a topic of debate, with repair becoming standard care most cases. Furthermore, cases borderline dysplasia microinstability, considerations for not only...
