OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between cartilage, ligament, and meniscus degeneration and radiographic alignment in severe varus knee osteoarthritis in order to understand the development of varus knee osteoarthritis. DESIGN Fifty-three patients (71 knees) with primary varus knee osteoarthritis and who underwent total knee arthroplasty were selected for this ...

Fixation of an osteochondral fracture after acute patellar dislocation is an infrequent form of treatment. Likewise, the location of this fragment in the lateral region of the lateral femoral condyle, functioning as a free body, is uncommon. The aim of this study was to present a case of osteochondral fracture of the patella at an unusual site, along with the therapy used and the clinical follo...

IT is generally accepted that fractures into joints must, if possible, be afforded perfect reduction, and that when accurate reduction has not been achieved, some considerable stiffness and degenerative arthritis may confidently be expected. This was once commonly illustrated by the malunited fracture-dislocation of the ankle, and incongruities of the scaphoid, olecranon and acetabulum provoke ...

Introduction: Supero-lateral temporomandibular dislocations with intact condyles are very rare, particularly in countries of sub-Saharan Africa where they poorly documented. Materials and method: This was a retrospective study that included all patients received for superolateral dislocation condyle following maxillofacial trauma. The period covered by the from January 2011 to July 2021. Result...

Cubitus varus or “gunstock” deformity, a common longterm complication of a supracondylar fracture [1]. Components of cubitus varus deformity are: a) medial angulation, b) medial rotation, c) extension of distal fragment with or without d) medial epicondyle epiphyseal injury leading to delayed growth of medial condyle and cubitus varus deformity [2]. It is generally believed that functional impa...

Osteochondral and pure chondral lesions of the knee are common after patellar dislocations. There multiple described techniques for fixation these lesions, including metallic screws, bioabsorbable implants, suture devices. The purpose this article is to describe a surgical technique lateral condyle lesion using knotless all-suture anchors, with second-look arthroscopy illustrating healing carti...

BACKGROUND Osteochondral allograft transplantation (OCA) is often performed with concomitant meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT) as a strategy for knee joint preservation, although to date, the effect of concomitant MAT on outcomes and failure rates after OCA has not been assessed. PURPOSE To determine clinical outcomes for patients undergoing OCA with MAT as compared with a matched coho...
