A mini-invasive procedure for treating arthrofibrosis of the knee

Arthrofibrosis of the knee.

Better understanding of surgical timing, improved surgical technique, and advanced rehabilitation protocols has led to decreased incidence of motion loss after anterior cruciate ligament injury and reconstruction. However, motion loss from high-energy, multiligament injuries continues to compromise functional outcome. Prevention, consisting of control of inflammation and early motion, remains t...

MINI INVASIVE SURGERY in KNEE ARTHROPLASTY

-visual exposure Most of the time, knee prosthesis doesn’t require a long standard approach everting the patella and cuting extensor mechanism on a long distance. On the opposite, MIS is not operating through a keyhole. Lenght of the skin incision is not the most important even if it is the main thing that the patient will see postoperatively. But when it is possible to do it with a small incis...

investigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures

deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...

Prognostic Factors of Arthroscopic Adhesiolysis for Arthrofibrosis of the Knee

PURPOSE To assess the results of arthroscopic adhesiolysis for arthrofibrosis of the knee and to investigate possible prognostic factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS Among the patients who developed arthrofibrosis after knee joint surgery, 68 patients who underwent arthroscopic adhesiolysis and were available for at least one-year follow-up were evaluated with regard to the Lysholm knee score, Inte...
