Cross-pin fixation of hamstring grafts for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction was developed with hopes of improving on potential problems associated with interference screw and button fixation methods. However, cross-pins are a relatively new method of graft fixation and there are limited data on this technique. We report 2 cases in which reoperation was necessary after complications ass...

Distal biceps tendon ruptures present with an initial tearing sensation accompanied by acute pain; weakness may follow. The hook test is very reliable for diagnosing ruptures, and magnetic resonance imaging can provide information about the integrity and any intrasubstance degeneration of the tendon. There are subtle differences between the outcomes of single and modified two-incision operative...

BACKGROUND Optimization of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) fixation is desired to improve graft healing. New soft tissue cortical suspension devices for femoral tunnel fixation should be biomechanically evaluated. HYPOTHESIS All femoral fixation devices would prevent a clinically significant amount of displacement and support loads significantly larger than in situ forces experienced by the ...

Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) dislocation is a common injury often affecting young adults. Its sequalae range from an asymptomatic shoulder to one that is painful with significant loss of strength in the affected upper limb. The management of ACJ dislocation has revolved around expert neglect for asymptomatic low-grade dislocation to complex surgical reconstruction. The authors describe their e...

Abstract Background This study evaluated the clinical and radiological results of a new transosseous suture-button fixation technique for anterior glenoid fractures. Methods From March 2017 to May 2021, 23 patients with fractures were treated technique. Demographic data, active shoulder function, several scores after minimum 6 months. Fracture reduction button placement assessed via computed to...
