BackgroundReconstruction of the coracoclavicular (CC) ligament using a single TightRope (ST) system has some complications. We attempted to use double (DT) reduce complications and obtain ideal therapeutic effect.PurposeThis investigation aimed compare ST DT systems in terms efficacy safety treating acromioclavicular (AC) joint dislocation.MethodsSixty-six cases acute AC dislocation between Jan...

Neglected patella tendon ruptures require reconstruction using tendon grafts. The LARS ligament has been successfully used in cruciate and collateral knee ligament reconstruction. We present a technique using LARS ligament for the reconstruction of a chronic patella tendon rupture in a low-demand patient. The result after 1-year follow-up was deemed successful.

BACKGROUND Previous experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the biomechanical effects of posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction; but no consensus has been reached on the preferred method of reconstruction. METHODS The 3D finite element mesh of a knee joint was reconstructed from computed tomography and magnetic resonance images. The ligaments were considered as hyperelastic m...

INTRODUCTION Lateral instability following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a rare condition with limited report of treatment options. The objective of this case presentation is to demonstrate the outcomes of different surgical procedures performed in a single patient with lateral collateral ligament (LCL) deficiency. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of chronic lateral instability due to L...

Ligament reconstruction is an effective therapy for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) artificial ligaments have recently gained popularity in clinical ACL reconstruction for its advantage in the improvement of keen function. However, the application of PET in clinical treatment is limited by its poor bioactivity and biocompatibility. Recently, bone marro...
