BACKGROUND The combined positioning of the trunk and knee in the coronal and sagittal planes during non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury has not been previously reported. HYPOTHESIS During ACL injury female athletes demonstrate greater lateral trunk and knee abduction angles than ACL-injured male athletes and uninjured female athletes. DESIGN Cross-section control-cohort desi...

ABSTRACT Introduction Knee meniscus injury is a common sports injury, and minimally invasive surgery under knee arthroscopy has become an ideal method to treat injuries. This rehabilitation been improved, several studies on the effects of functional exercise in range treatment are still inconclusive. Objective Study patients after injury. Methods Twenty with meniscus-medial being operated were ...

Popliteal vascular injury and the compartment syndrome of the leg are rare but important complications of knee arthroplasties. Early diagnosis and treatment are of paramount importance in preventing the devastating complications of these conditions. To our knowledge, these complications have not been reported previously after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in the literature. Low level of su...

The arcuate sign is a well described finding of fibular head avulsion at the insertion site of the arcuate complex. It has been associated with posterolateral corner knee injury and resulting instability. The authors report two patients presenting with the arcuate sign following knee dislocation, which has not been previously described. As unrecognized spontaneously reduced knee dislocation oft...

Associations among hip motions, knee abduction and internal rotation motion during a drop vertical jump (DVJ), which increases the risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury, remain unclear. The pur...

Traumatic knee injuries affect numerous physically active individuals each year. Damage to subchondral bone, often termed bone bruise, is frequently detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) during the diagnosis of traumatic knee injury. Little is known regarding the effects of bone bruises on pain in individuals with traumatic knee injury. Understanding the presentation of self-reported pai...

BACKGROUND Women who participate in high-risk sports suffer anterior cruciate ligament injury at a 4- to 6-fold greater rate than men. PURPOSE To prospectively determine if female athletes with decreased passive knee joint restraint (greater joint laxity) and greater side-to-side differences in knee laxity would be at increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury. STUDY DESIGN Case co...

Complete dislocation of the knee is a relatively rare condition. When it occurs as a result of high-velocity injury, such as in a road traffic accident, associated vascular injury is generally suspected. In low-velocity injuries, however, distal pulses are often maintained throughout, and the possibility of vascular injury may erroneously be discounted. We report four cases of low-velocity disl...
