BACKGROUND At the time of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, there are usually concurrent meniscal and articular cartilage injuries. It is unclear if there is a significant difference between intra-articular injuries at the time of a primary ACL reconstruction compared with revision ACL reconstruction. PURPOSE To compare the meniscal and articular cartilage injuries found at the...

CONTEXT Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common surgical procedures, with more than 200,000 ACL tears occurring annually. Although primary ACL reconstruction is a successful operation, success rates still range from 75% to 97%. Consequently, several thousand revision ACL reconstructions are performed annually and are unfortunately associated with inferio...

 Abstract  Background: Resection of the distal end of the radius is indicated in the treatment  of locally aggressive primary benign and malignant bone tumors. The aim of this study  was to evaluate the technique of osteoarticular allograft reconstruction of the distal radius after wide excision of a giant-cell tumor.  Methods: We analyzed 15 patients retrospectively who had reconstruction of t...

Background: Revision posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) is challenging, especially in existing semi-anatomic tunnels, whereas there an increased risk of overlapping with a new positioned anatomic tunnel. Few cases were published no consensus regarding the optimal operative technique. Indications: A 22-year-old male patient, failed PCLR hamstring autograft 2020 due to improper tun...

Thomas J. Gill, MD ABSTRACT Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction poses a challenging situation for the surgeon. First and foremost, a diagnosis as to why the index reconstruction failed must be made – was this simply the result of a new trauma, or were there technical, diagnostic, or biological considerations associated with the index surgery that predisposed it to failure. ...

The aims of surgical treatment for cholesteatoma include complete removal of disease and formation of a dry, self cleaning ear in addition to hearing reconstruction. This presentation concentrates on techniques of open mastoid surgery or modified radical mastoidectomy to achieve a well-constructed cavity. This study analyzes both primary and revision mastoid surgery referred to the author. ...
