The aim of this study was to evaluate the mid- and long-term outcome of the modified Elmslie-Trillat procedure, as well as to detect factors affecting it. Thirty-eight patients (44 procedures) with a mean age of 31 years were included in this study. The reason for operation was patellar instability in 10 cases, anterior knee pain with malalignment of the extensor mechanism in 15 cases and a com...

Chaired by the academic adviser of each presenter P h y s i c a T h e r a p y l Introduction Passive patellar mobility was believed to be one of the important forms of assessment for patient with patellofemoral pain (PFP) and the decreased range of motion (ROM) at the knee joint. Moreover, it shows the laxity of the knee joint which could also contribute to sports knee injuries. However, there ...

AIM To describe the annual consultation prevalence of different patellofemoral disorders across the adult life span. BACKGROUND The knee is the second most common site for musculoskeletal pain. Evidence from sports injury and orthopaedic settings suggests that patellofemoral disorders constitute a significant proportion of knee pain cases, but we have no evidence from general practice - the s...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate compartmental changes using combined single-photon emission computerized tomography and conventional computerized tomography (SPECT/CT) after open wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) for providing clinical guidance for proper correction. Materials and Methods Analysis was performed using SPECT/CT from around 1 year after surgery on 22 patients...

Previous research has shown that an increase in hamstring activation may compensate for anterior tibial transalation (ATT) in patients with anterior cruciate ligament deficient knee (ACLd); however, the effects of this compensation still remain unclear. The goals of this study were to quantify the activation of the hamstring muscles needed to compensate the ATT in ACLd knee during the complete ...
