conclusions the clinical examination is an important and accurate diagnostic modality for evaluation of traumatic derangement of the knee joint. it is noninvasive, easy, available, and valuable diagnostic modality. the mri is an accurate diagnostic modality. it can be used whenever there is an uncertain indication for arthroscopy. however, costs have to be kept in mind, especially in patients w...

conclusions zebris movement analysis system is a highly reliable instrument for the measurement of gait parameters at different speeds in healthy athletes and those after acl reconstruction surgery. this implies its use in the assessment and treatment process of gait deficits in such a clinically important population. background reconstruction surgery is one of the treatment methods after an an...

background: articular cartilage injuries are a common clinical problem at the time of acl reconstruction with an incidence rate of 16-46%. good results of acl reconstruction combined with the treatment of chondral lesions have been published in some studies. method: after statistical analysis 30 patients were selected and divided in 2 groups. theffirst group consisted of 15 patients wite isolat...

background: a rare and devastating complication following anterior cruciate ligament (acl) revision reconstruction is femoral fracture.    case presentation: a 35-year old male soccer player with a history of acl tear from the previous year ago, who underwent arthroscopic acl reconstruction and functioned well until another similar injury caused acl re-rupture. revision of acl reconstruction wa...

First, to provide insight into the differences in ankle kinetics, kinematics and lateral ligament strain between males females during functional sports movements. In addition this study explores prophylactic efficacy of different footwear bracing modalities. Experiment 1 examined male female athletes performing run, 45° cut one-legged hop movements, experiment 2 observed court, energy return tr...

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to analyze the inter-, intraligamentous, and side-related patterns of sensory nerve endings in ankle ligaments. METHODS A total of 140 ligaments from 10 cadaver feet were harvested. Lateral: calcaneofibular, anterior-, posterior talofibular; sinus tarsi: lateral- (IERL), intermediate-, medial-roots inferior extensor retinaculum, talocalcaneal oblique and c...
