BACKGROUND A treatment algorithm and screening examination have been developed to guide patient management and prospectively determine potential for highly active individuals to succeed with nonoperative care after anterior cruciate ligament rupture. OBJECTIVE To prospectively characterize and classify the entire population of highly active individuals over a 10-year period and provide final ...

The occurrence of posterior root tear of both the lateral and medial menisci, combined with anterior cruciate ligament rupture, is rare. Problems may be encountered such as the difficulty to access the medial meniscal root tear, the confusing circumstances about which structure to repair first, and the possibility of the tunnel for each repair to become taut inside the tibial bone. We present t...

BACKGROUND A new generation of flexible all-inside meniscal repair devices is available, but clinical studies with these devices are lacking. HYPOTHESIS The RapidLoc has an intermediate-term meniscal healing rate that is equivalent to literature reports of inside-out suture technique in patients undergoing concurrent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. STUDY DESIGN Case series; Level...

We compared ultrasound (US) with magnetic resonance (MR) findings of muscle tendon and ligaments (mt&l) of 17 men and 13 women, 16-66 years old, who suffered from acute ankle injury without bone fracture visible on conventional radiographs. Joint effusion (JE), and injury of the Tibials anterior muscle tendon (TAmt), Calcaneofibular ligament (CFl), Long flexor of the great toe muscle tendon (LF...

Background: Meniscus tear is a common finding in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and may affectthe natural history of the injury and the outcomes of treatment. In the current study, the characteristics of meniscus tearsin patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction were investigated.Methods: The hospital records of 1022 patients were reviewed. ...

Diagnosing ligament injuries using MRI scans is a labor-intensive task that requires an expert. In this paper, we propose fully recurrent neural network (RNN) for detecting Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tears scans. The proposed localizes the ACL and classifies it into several categories: tear, normal healthy. Existing detection methods use deep learning networks based on single sections, in...

Abstract Background The purpose of the present study was to examine relationship between ankle joint laxity and general (GJL) in relation menstrual cycle, which divided into four phases based on basal body temperature ovulation, assessed using an ovulation kit. Methods Participants were 14 female college students (21–22 years) with normal cycles (cis gender). Anterior drawer stress a magnitude ...
