Awareness of the long-term COVID-19 complications is significant importance in reducing its morbidity through implementation timely interventional programs. In this study, we report an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear athlete identical twin sisters almost 2 months after infection. The patients had 15 years professional futsal experience and showed no obvious risk factors for ACL tear, such...

background anterior cruciate ligament (acl) injury is the most common sports injury in both athletes and nonathletes; it can cause disability if not treated correctly. in cases with minor injuries, conservative treatments suffice. but, in cases with acl tear, surgery by different methods and autografts are indicated. the most prevalent method for acl reconstruction is the use of hamstring tendo...

Background/Objective: It has been proposed that a narrow intercondylar notch may increase the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury but the data are conflicting. We performed this cross-sectional study to investigate if a narrow intercondylar notch width is a risk factor for ACL tears. Patients and Methods: All adult patients with knee problems, who were referred to the MRI department...

The aim of this study was to follow patients in whom preoperative MRI demonstrated grade-3 lesions in the medial meniscus but no visible tears at arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, and to ascertain whether these meniscal lesions would progress to definite tears after reconstruction. The Study population consisted of 19 patients with a mean age of 23.2 years. Intraoperative arthroscopy showed norm...

BACKGROUND To identify and characterize the concomitant ligamentous and meniscal injuries in floating knee. METHODS A total of 37 cases of floating knee were enrolled. Arthroscopic or open surgical examination of the knee, Lachman test, posterior drawer's test, and varus and valgus stress tests under anesthesia were carried out to determine the incidence of knee injury. RESULTS Through arth...

In acute stage, clinical examination of painful knee may be difficult and frequently the imaging studies are required to assess the injuries of the menisci, cartilage ligaments or bone. Materials and methods: A prospective study was conducted at the department of orthopedic. A total of 50 patients (50 knees) were examined, 42 pa...

An anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear is one of the most common orthopaedic injuries. Optimal results are not always achieved after surgical reconstruction after a surgical technical error, namely, tunnel malposition. Understanding of the anatomy is vital, and several anatomic landmarks can be used to aid in an optimal reconstruction technique. The purpose of this Technical Note is to descri...

The association of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and a posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury is rare in athletes, and to our knowledge it has never been described in a professional rugby player. We report the case of a 27-year-old international professional rugby player who presented with an ACL tear associated with chronic posterior laxity on a former PCL tear. The procedure asso...
