Intramedullary nailing has revolutionized the management of tibial diaphyseal fractures. However, anterior knee pain remains a common complication. Although knee pain causes are still largely unknown, there is evidence to suggest that adhesions resulting from soft tissue damage may contribute to it. We describe a simple cost-effective technique that utilises a syringe to protect the patellar li...

BACKGROUND Osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is characterized by pain and activity limitations. In knee OA, proprioceptive accuracy is reduced and might be associated with pain and activity limitations. Although causes of reduced proprioceptive accuracy are divergent, medial meniscal abnormalities, which are highly prevalent in knee OA, have been suggested to play an important role. No study has ...

PURPOSE Although disease progression of osteoarthritis has been well documented, pain pathophysiology is largely unknown. This study was designed with two purposes: 1) to characterize patients with knee pain predominantly originating from intra-articular structures and 2) to describe the location and pattern of their pain. MATERIALS AND METHODS 103 patients with medial knee osteoarthritis und...

OBJECTIVE The authors asked the following research questions: will an anterior knee infusion model induce constant pain? will perceived pain alter motoneuron pool (MNP) excitability? and will treatments alter perceived pain and/or MNP excitability? METHODS Thirty-six neurologically healthy volunteers participated in this randomised controlled laboratory study. To induce anterior knee pain (AK...

Hoffa's (infrapatellar) fat pad (HFP) is one of the knee fat pads interposed between the joint capsule and the synovium. Located posterior to patellar tendon and anterior to the capsule, the HFP is richly innervated and, therefore, one of the sources of anterior knee pain. Repetitive local microtraumas, impingement, and surgery causing local bleeding and inflammation are the most frequent cause...

Background: Knee injuries are more common due to exponential increase in road traffic accidents and involvement sports related activities by people. Anterior cruciate ligament injury is one of the most around knee poses quiet a lot management controversy. Aims Objectives: To do comparative analysis functional outcome Arthroscopic Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction using quadrupled semitendinosus ...

Abstract: Maquet osteotomy for isolated patellofemoral arthritis, a forgotten surgical technique. Objective. The aim of our study is in the physiologically younger patinets who had anterior knee pain does not resolve with conservative treatment, report results osteotomy. Materials and Methods. We performed retrospective review 11 consecutive patients (5 [45.5%] males, 6 [54.5%] females; mean ag...

congenital dislocation of the knee (cdk) is a rare disorder. we report the case of a 7-year-old girl with bilateral knee stiffness, marked anterior bowing of both legs, and inability to walk without aid. radiologic investigation revealed bilateral knee joint dislocation accompanied by severe anterior bowing of both tibia proximally and posterior bowing of both femur distally, demonstrating a co...

Introduction: Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders affecting knee joint. Conservative treatment reduces and improves functional capacity in short medium-term. Objective: To determine therapeutic effect two muscle strengthening exercise programs patients with PFPS from Bogotá, Colombia, aged between 15 40 years. Materials methods: Experimental r...

Osgood-schlatter disease, non-articular osteochondrosis, is characterized by pain of anterior tibial tuberosity (TTA), which mainly affects the growing adolescent sportsman. It corresponds to "chronic lesions, due to microtrauma of repeated tractions on the area of insertion of the patellar tendon at the level of the anterior tibial tuberosity". This condition remains benign if the young patien...
