conclusions zebris movement analysis system is a highly reliable instrument for the measurement of gait parameters at different speeds in healthy athletes and those after acl reconstruction surgery. this implies its use in the assessment and treatment process of gait deficits in such a clinically important population. background reconstruction surgery is one of the treatment methods after an an...

background: articular cartilage injuries are a common clinical problem at the time of acl reconstruction with an incidence rate of 16-46%. good results of acl reconstruction combined with the treatment of chondral lesions have been published in some studies. method: after statistical analysis 30 patients were selected and divided in 2 groups. theffirst group consisted of 15 patients wite isolat...

background: a rare and devastating complication following anterior cruciate ligament (acl) revision reconstruction is femoral fracture.    case presentation: a 35-year old male soccer player with a history of acl tear from the previous year ago, who underwent arthroscopic acl reconstruction and functioned well until another similar injury caused acl re-rupture. revision of acl reconstruction wa...

The pterygospinous ligament extends from the pterygospinous process of the lateral lamina of the pterygoid process of the sphenoid bone, coursing inferior level of the oval foramen, to the spine of sphenoid bone in the infratemporal fossa. The ossification of ligament forms the pterygospinous bony bridge and pterygospinous foramen (Figure 1). In existence of this case, branches of the mandibula...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prevalence of deltoid ligament and distal tibiofibular syndesmosis injury on 3T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with chronic lateral ankle instability (CLAI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty patients (mean age, 35 years) who had undergone preoperative 3T MRI and surgical treatment for CLAI were enrolled. The prevalence of deltoid ligament and syndesmosis inj...

The advantages of anterior surgery for severe ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament in the cervical spine have been reported. However, it is more technically demanding and associated with a high risk of surgery-related complications. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of longitudinal decompression techniques in anterior surgery for severe ossification of the...

We report a case of inferior lateral genicular artery (ILG) injury during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery with lateral partial meniscectomy. This is a rare arthroscopy complication. A review of the literature has been made with the aim to define the anatomy of ILG across the lateral articular line and the risk of lesion during knee arthroscopy. We propose embolization as...

There is growing evidence that anatomic placement of the femoral tunnel in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction confers biomechanical advantages over the traditional tunnel position. The anteromedial portal technique for anatomic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction has many well-described technical challenges. This article describes the translateral all-inside technique, which produc...
