Abstract Graft selection in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is critical, as it remains one of the most easily adjustable factors affecting graft rupture and reoperation rates. Commonly used autografts, including hamstring tendon, quadriceps tendon bone‐patellar‐tendon‐bone, are reported to be biomechanically equivalent or superior compared native ACL. Despite this, such grafts unable perfectly replicate complex anatomical histological characteristics While there inconclusive...
Chondral and osteochondral lesions are being detected with increasing frequency. For large-diameter lesions, cell-based treatment modalities speculated to result in the best possible outcome.To prospectively evaluate 2-year clinical radiological results after of chondral knee joint by a single-step autologous minced cartilage procedure.Case series; Level evidence, 4.From February 2015 June 2016, total 27 consecutive patients suffering from or were treated using procedure. All underwent...
Background: Graft rupture is a devastating outcome after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). Little known about graft rates as well clinical and functional outcomes ACLR with quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts. Purpose: To compare QT hamstring (HT) autografts in terms of the contralateral ACL patient-reported measures. Study Design: Cohort study; Level evidence, 3. Methods: All primary ACLRs performed between 2010 2016 were followed prospectively for 24 months through...
Abstract Postoperative patient satisfaction after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL‐R) is influenced mainly by the degree of pain, need for reoperation, and functional performance in daily activities sports. Graft choice has shown to have an influence on postoperative outcomes ACL‐R. While reported measurements do not differ between graft options, evidence shows that normal knee kinematics fully restored ACL‐R with increase tibial translation (ATT). rupture rates seem favor...
Minced cartilage is a one-step, autologous procedure with promising short-term results. The aim of the present study was to evaluate mid-term results in patient cohort chondral and osteochondral lesions knee joint treated minced cartilage.From 2015 through 2016, total 34 consecutive patients were single-step, for lesions. Numeric analogue scale (NAS) pain function obtained prior surgery at 12, 24 60 months postoperatively. Secondary outcomes, including Lysholm score, Tegner activity...
Downhill mountain biking (DMB) has become an increasingly popular extreme sport in the last few years with high velocities and bold manoeuvres. The goal of this study was to provide information on pattern causes injuries order starting points for injury prevention measures.We performed a monthly e-mail-based prospective survey 249 riders over one summer season ranging from April until September 2011.A total 494 occurred during 29 401 h downhill exposure recorded, these 65% were mild, 22%...
Abstract Purpose To assess measurement equivalence, inter- and intra-rater reliability, standard error of measurements (SEM) false positive (FPM) four different knee arthrometers (KLT,Karl Storz; KiRA, I + ; KT-1000 MEDmetric Corp; Rolimeter, Aircast) in healthy patients. Methods Four investigators (two advanced (AR) two beginners (BR)) examined 12 participants with knees at time points regards to anterior tibial translation (ATT) side-to-side difference (SSD). Test equivalence was assessed...
To compare clinical and functional outcomes of patients after primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using quadriceps tendon- (QT-A) hamstring tendon (HT-A) autograft with a minimum follow-up (FU) 5 years.Between 2010 2014, all undergoing ACLR were recorded in prospectively administered database. All primary, isolated QT-A without any concomitant injuries or high grade osteoarthritis extracted from the database matched to treated HT-A. Re-rupture rates, anterior-posterior...
Background: Anteromedial rotatory instability (AMRI) of the knee is a complex and severe condition caused by injury to anterior cruciate ligament and/or medial collateral ligament. Clinical studies dealing with AMRI are rare, objective measurements nonexistent. Purpose/Hypothesis: The objectives this study were, first, quantify anteromedial laxity in healthy individuals using noninvasive image analysis software and, second, assess intra- interrater reliability equivalence measuring...
Background: Reverse Hill-Sachs (RHS) lesions can cause recurrent posterior shoulder instability because of engagement with the glenoid rim; however, effect defect size and localization have yet to be determined. Hypothesis: Both are critical for an RHS rim. Study design: Controlled laboratory study. Methods: Ten defects predefined extent were created through anterolateral rotator cuff sparing approach in 10 fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens using a custom-made saw guide. Computed tomography...
PurposeTo compare clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation after medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using either a gracilis tendon- (GT) or quadriceps tendon autograft (QT).MethodsAll MPFL performed between 2017 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Only isolated reconstruction, without any major risk factors minimum follow-up of 24 months included the study. Patients matched respect to gender, age BMI. All...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate sports activity before anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and after surgical treatment ACL rupture comparing repair with an Internal Brace reconstruction using either a hamstring (HT) or quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft. Between 12/2015 10/2016, we recruited 69 patients mean age 33.4 years for matched-pair analysis. Twenty-four who underwent were matched according (± 5 years), gender, Tegner scale 1), BMI 1) concomitant injuries 25 had undergone...
Although the infection rates for bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft (BTB), hamstring tendon (HT), and allograft have been reported previously, there are limited data available a large cohort of individuals undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) using quadriceps (QT).The aims this study (1) to compare septic arthritis after primary revision ACLR with QT, BTB, HT, (2) evaluate association between an potential risk factors in single-system analysis.Cohort study;...
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).
