The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of the central portion of the anterior bundle of the medial collateral ligament (MCL) to elbow stability and to evaluate the effectiveness of a single-strand MCL reconstruction in restoring elbow stability. Testing of 11 fresh-frozen upper extremities was first performed on the intact elbow and then with the capsule, flexor-pronator mu...

OBJECTIVE To investigate passive and active glenohumeral stiffness in the anterior, posterior, superior, and inferior directions at different lateral positions of the humerus. DESIGN Glenohumeral stiffness along multiple axes was determined in fresh-frozen shoulder specimens under both passive (no simulated muscle contraction) and active (with simulated muscle contraction) conditions. BACKG...

background many factors effect on management (surgical and nonsurgical) of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (ais). objectives the purpose of this study was evaluation of the effects of generalized ligamentous laxity (gll) on surgical treatment of ais. materials and methods 72 patients with ais were studied between 2002 and 2009. 24 cases (33.4%) were placed in group a (normal) while 48 patients ...

Background: This technique video reviews medial meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) using a representative case example. Indications: Medial is indicated in symptomatic patients with deficient tibiofemoral compartment that has not progressed to arthritic changes. Concomitant procedures address focal cartilage defects, ligamentous laxity, and/or limb malalignment should be performed prior M...

Introduction Modified Brostrom-Gould surgery (MBG) aims to repair the lateral ligaments of ankle in patients with ligamentous laxity and chronic instability. surgery-the Brostrom technique associated Gould augmentation-is currently gold standard surgical option for instability worldwide. Chronic caused by sprains is one most common sports-related injuries, commonly recommended as operative trea...

Lateral ankle sprains (LAS) are common injuries in athletics and daily activity. Although most are resolved with conservative treatment, others develop chronic ankle instability (AI)—a condition associated with persistent pain, weakness, and instability—both mechanical (such as ligamentous laxity) and functional (neuromuscular impairment with or without mechanical laxity). The predominant theor...

BACKGROUND Low back pain (LBP) is a common cause of lost playing time and can be a challenging clinical condition in competitive athletes. LBP in athletes may be associated with joint and ligamentous hypermobility and impairments in activation and coordination of the trunk musculature, however there is limited research in this area. OBJECTIVES To determine if there is an association between a...
