We describe a surgical technique for arthroscopic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with remnant preservation of the original PCL fibers using a posterior trans-septal portal approach. Using the transtibial technique and the posterior trans-septal portal approach allows good visualization of the tibial tunnel preparation, easy access to the tibial tunnel without neurovascular inj...

The purpose of this research was to examine the effects of voluntarily manipulating muscle activation and localized muscle fatigue on tibial response parameters, including peak tibial acceleration, time to peak tibial acceleration, and the acceleration slope, measured at the knee during unshod heel impacts. A human pendulum delivered consistent impacts to 15 female and 15 male subjects. The tib...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this article was to determine outcomes in patients with squamous cell carcinoma of the hypopharynx (SCCHP) in whom the free posterior tibial flap was used for primary reconstruction of hypopharynx defects after cancer resection. SUBJECTS AND METHODS Between August 2009 and February 2012, 10 patients with SCCHP underwent posterior tibial flap reconstruction for hypopharyn...

Traditional surgical decompression of the posterior tibial nerve yields equivocal results. The authors postulate that the posterior tibial artery is the most compromised structure in the neurovascular compartment and that the best surgical results in healing of plantar ulcers are achieved by the rechannelling of the blood flow in the posterior tibial artery during posterior tibial neurovascular...

BACKGROUND We evaluated the posterior tibial artery as an alternative arterial cannulation site to the radial artery in small children. METHODS A two-stage study was conducted. First, we evaluated the anatomical characteristics of the posterior tibial artery compared with the radial and dorsalis pedis arteries. Next, a parallel-arm single-blind randomized controlled study compared the initial...

BACKGROUND Current knowledge is lacking concerning the appropriate site of osteochondral allograft harvest to match glenoid shape for the purposes of glenoid resurfacing. This has led to difficulty with adequate restoration of the geometry of the glenoid with currently available techniques. HYPOTHESIS The medial tibial plateau will provide a suitable osteochondral harvest site because of its ...
