OBJECTIVE To compare the clinical results of the reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament by transtibial, transportal, and outside-in techniques. METHODS This was a retrospective study on 90 patients (ACL reconstruction with autologous flexor tendons) operated between August 2009 and June 2012, by the medial transportal (30), transtibial (30), and "outside-in" (30) techniques. The fol...

OBJECTIVE To present a new technique for reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) in patients with recurrent patellar dislocation and to evaluate the clinical findings from this. METHODS Between January 2007 and January 2008, 23 patients underwent reconstruction of the MPFL with a free graft from the semitendinosus tendon. After a minimum of 24 months of follow-up, 22 patie...

BACKGROUND The study aimed to assess long-term clinical outcomes of cartilage lesion treatment with blood stem cells. The analysis of complications of this method was an additional aim. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study group comprised 52 patients with ICRS grade III or IV lesions of 4 to 12 cm2. The assessment was carried out at one and six years following the surgery with the use of KOOS and L...
