background:  despite the introduction of different techniques for meniscal repair, no single procedure is superior in all situations. the new method for meniscal repair named “ modified outside-in technique ” aims to achieve higher primary fixation strength by an alternative suture technique as well as avoid disadvantages of outside-in, inside-out, and all-inside suture procedures. additionally...

BACKGROUND Meniscal root tears present in many forms and can have profound consequences on the health of knee articular cartilage. While the biomechanics, natural history, and treatment of root tears have been increasingly investigated, the spectrum of meniscal root tear patterns observed during arthroscopic examination has yet to be defined and categorized. PURPOSE To establish a classificat...

BACKGROUND The inferior glenohumeral ligament, the most important static anterior stabilizer of the shoulder, becomes disrupted in humeral avulsion of the glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesions. Unfortunately, HAGL lesions commonly go unrecognized. A missed HAGL during an index operation to treat anterior shoulder instability may lead to persistent instability. Currently, there are no large studi...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to compare the clinical results of 3 posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction techniques according to the time from injury to surgery and remnant PCL status and to evaluate the efficiency of each technique. METHODS The records of 89 patients who underwent primary PCL reconstructions with a posterolateral corner sling were analyzed retrospectiv...

Background: Multi-ligament knee injuries and dislocations are potentially devastating that typically result in injury to both cruciate ligaments variable collateral ligament complexes. Indications: Surgical intervention leads better patient outcomes than nonoperative management. We describe our preferred technique for bicruciate reconstruction with a focus on double-bundle posterior (PCL) recon...

UNLABELLED To present the arthroscopic surgical technique and the evaluation of the results from this technique for treating elbow stiffness. METHODS Between April 2007 and January 2010, ten elbows of ten patients with elbow stiffness underwent arthroscopic treatment to release the range of motion. The minimum follow-up was 11 months, with an average of 27 months. All the patients were male a...

UNLABELLED Reconstruction of the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) requires precise anatomical placement of the tendon graft. Anatomic variations may increase/decrease risk of the ACL rupture. Twenty-eight children with clinical, MRI and arthroscopic verified ACL ruptures were compared with match case control group. MRI was done one to 12 months after trauma. The thresholds values for identifyin...

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcomes and frequency of return sport after arthroscopic repair a humeral avulsion inferior glenohumeral ligament (HAGL) lesion. Web Science, Scopus, Medline via PubMed OVID were searched identify relevant citations. Screening data extraction performed independently. The Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software was used for all statistical analyses (CMA; U...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the results obtained from posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with the double femoral tunnel technique, using quadriceps tendon and semitendinous autograft, in patients with isolated PCL tears or PCL tears associated with other ligament lesions, 2 years after surgery. METHODS The study included 14 patients with isolated PCL le...
