BACKGROUND There is a paucity in the literature regarding the reflected ligament. Therefore, the present study was performed in order to further elucidate this anatomy. MATERIAL AND METHODS Eighteen formalin-fixed adult cadavers (35 sides) underwent dissection of the medial inguinal region. The reflected ligament was observed for and when identified, its dimensions were measured. RESULTS 83...

Bone staples are commonly used as a method of fixation in orthopedics, often at or near the joint line of the knee. Specific uses in sports medicine include ligament reconstruction fixation. Like all orthopedic hardware, these staples may break or loosen years after a successful ligament reconstruction and cause local, intra-articular' or remote symptoms. This article presents an unusual case i...

Introduction: Maisonneuve’s fracture is named after the French surgeon who first described it in 1840. This injury rare and characterized by a combination of ipsilateral fibula an to medial structures ankle, there may also be rupture syndesmosis, tibiofibular deltoid ligament, followed anteroinferior ligament interosseous membrane. Case Report: A 70-year-old female patient reported pain right l...

Introduction/Objective. The knee joint is prone to injuries caused by direct or indirect trauma. meniscus and ligament injuries, cannot be completely diagnosed with clinical examination; therefore, we use additional non-invasive invasive diagnostic methods such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) arthroscopy. aim was compare the accuracy of MRI objective findings based on arthroscopic examinati...

After a severe ankle sprain the incidence of residual complaints, particularly on the medial side of the joint, is high. We studied a consecutive series of 30 patients who had operative repair of acute ruptures of lateral ligaments. During operation, arthroscopy revealed a fresh injury to the articular cartilage in 20 ankles, in 19 at the tip and/or anterior distal part of the medial malleolus ...

Given the common nature of ankle sprains and the fact that 85 percent involve lateral ankle ligament injury, these authors assess the research on techniques for lateral ankle stabilization and the use of interference screw fixation. They also offer pertinent step-by-step pearls on a technique that utilizes a split peroneus brevis tendon with interference screw fixation to help address chronic a...

We report a case of inferior lateral genicular artery (ILG) injury during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery with lateral partial meniscectomy. This is a rare arthroscopy complication. A review of the literature has been made with the aim to define the anatomy of ILG across the lateral articular line and the risk of lesion during knee arthroscopy. We propose embolization as...
