RESULTS: The specific medial tibial contusion was demonstrated in 25 of 215 (12%) knee MR examinations. Associated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears were found in 25 of the 25 (100%) examinations. Injury to the meniscocapsular junction (14 of 25) or a peripheral tear of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus (10 of 25) occurred in a combined 96% of the cases. Lateral compartment contusi...

Congenital absence of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is an extremely rare condition associated with a wide spectrum malformation. Here we describe complication in patient congenital ACL after reconstruction using bioabsorbable screw. A 35- year-old woman presented right knee mass that had been slowly growing for several months. Five years previously, she experienced acute pain, locking, a...

From 1988 to 1990, eighty operations on eighty knees of seventy-nine patients with a clinical diagnosis of meniscal tear was entered into a prospective study. The clinical diagnosis was correct in 76% of patients. Excellent or good results were achieved in 90% of knees which had only meniscal lesions but dropped to 70.5% when other intraarticular pathologies coexisted with the meniscal lesions....

STUDY DESIGN Narrative literature review. OBJECTIVES First, to explore the differences and outcomes between individuals who have had anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and those who did not undergo surgical intervention, following a tear of the ACL. Second, to review the evidence related to the ability to identify individuals who may or may not need surgery after an ACL rupture. ...

Abstract Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common injury and more than 100,000 ACL reconstruction procedures are performed in the United States every year. Although widely accepted and investigated, ACL reconstruction still continues to evolve and many technical issues are under debate. They mainly include: 1) graft selection, 2) surgical technique (double versus single bundle)...

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is a common injury in athletes and physically active people, for that reason it very interesting topic orthopedics physiotherapists. ACL can lead to knee joint instability. There are two main mechanisms of the described literature during which this occurs: landing after jump dynamic lunges. purpose study was evaluate influence badminton training on sagi...

BACKGROUND The biomechanical effects of lateral meniscal posterior root tears with and without meniscofemoral ligament (MFL) tears in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-deficient knees have not been studied in detail. PURPOSE To determine the biomechanical effects of the lateral meniscus (LM) posterior root tear in ACL-intact and ACL-deficient knees. In addition, the biomechanical effects of di...

Introduction The purpose of this study was to determine the utility current magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in diagnosis bucket-handle meniscal tears. Materials and methods Patients treated for arthroscopic tears between March 2019 2022 were reviewed. included all patients with bucket handle diagnosed arthroscopically having MRI scans (n=51). A control group 58 individuals similar demographic ...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to evaluate the reliability of MR imaging to predict the stability of the torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after complete recovery of the ligament's continuity. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty patients with 20 knee injuries (13 males and 7 females; age range, 20-54) were enrolled in the study. The inclusion criteria were a positive history of acute trauma,...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study was to systematically review the literature on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury prevention programs and to perform a meta-analysis to address three questions: First, what is the effectiveness of ACL injury prevention programs? Second, is there evidence for a "best" program? Third, what is the quality of the current literature on ACL injury preventio...
