Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is the commonest ligamentous injury to knee joint. Various surgical methods have been described for anterior reconstruction with different kinds of grafts which own merits and demerits. Bone patellar tendon bone commonly used autograft ACL reconstruction.Aim this study was analyse functional outcome following arthroscopic using Bone- -bone graft (BTB)

The array of dysfunction occurring after ligamentous injury is tied to long-term clinical impairments in functional performance, joint stability, and health-related quality of life. To appropriately treat individuals, and in an attempt to avoid sequelae such as post-traumatic osteoarthritis, investigators have sought to better establish the etiology of the persistent dysfunction present in pati...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been shown to be sensitive in identifying ligamentous injury to the cervical spine. The major drawbacks to its routine use are cost and availability. The purpose of this study was to compare the cost of using MRI to rule out ligamentous injury of the cervical spine with the cost of immobilization in a cervical collar and outpatient follow-up. Neurologically ...

Sports practice in Down syndrome patients has been established as an important method of therapy, integration and socialization(1). However, the presence of atlantoaxial instability (AAI) in those children deserves a special concern, because it exposes their carriers to high risks of acute medullary injuries with sudden death, in case a forced cervical flexion occurs during sports activity, dis...

BACKGROUND Open reduction and internal fixation has been recommended as the treatment for most unstable injuries of the Lisfranc (tarsometatarsal) joint. It has been thought that purely ligamentous injuries have a poor outcome despite such surgical management. METHODS We performed a retrospective study of patients who underwent open reduction and screw fixation of a Lisfranc injury in a seven...

Since Destot in 1905, the study of intracarpal injuries has interested many authors who were faced with wrist traumatisms [ 1– 7 ] . Therefore, the analysis of the sole traumas is not enough to understand carpal biomechanics. Studies have thus been led in different directions to solve injuries’ mechanism. Imaging studies dealt with the radiography of healthy subjects [ 8– 17 ] , with the in vit...

STUDY DESIGN Case series. PURPOSE To present results of conservative management in patients with pure C2 body fractures. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Axis body fractures, a less common subgroup of C2 fractures, are commonly classified as vertical coronal, vertical sagittal, and transverse subtypes. While the treatment paradigm for other C2 fractures is clear, there is insufficient evidence to sup...

BACKGROUND Wear-related failures and instabilities are frequent failure mechanisms of total knee replacements. High-conforming designs may provide additional stability for the joint. This study analyzes the effects of a ligamentous insufficiency on the stability and the wear behavior of a high-conforming knee design. METHODS Two simulator wear tests were performed on a high-conforming total k...

Abstract Background Generally, disc changes are of degenerative origin and develop over a longer time span. Accidental incidents with isolated traumatic ruptures rare events; however, occupants involved in low velocity accidents often claim causal relationship between accidents. In forensic casework the adequacy biomechanical load to cause rupture has be assessed. Objective Based on patient dat...
