PURPOSE We report an easy-to-use 4-portal technique for arthroscopic treatment of intercondylar eminence fractures and compare results of 2 groups of cases, adolescents and adults, and 2 types of internal fixation, sutures and screws. TYPE OF STUDY Surgical technique and retrospective study. METHODS The study was carried on 2 groups of patients, adolescents and adults, with intercondylar em...

This study was designed to serially analyze the magnetic resonance (MR) appearance of patella tendon grafts during the first year of implantation, and to determine if the sagittal location of the tibial tunnel affects the MR appearance of the graft. An additional goal was to analyze the effect of the sagittal placement of the tibial tunnel placement on knee extension and stability. Two groups w...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the relationship of the intercondylar notch width with unilateral and bilateral ACL injury by using MR images. MATERIAL AND METHODS The intercondylar notch width index was measured on the MR images of 18 patients with a bilateral ACL injury, 38 patients with a unilateral ACL injury and 53 healthy subjects with a normal ACL and the results of all groups were compared wit...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to determine the efficacy and complications of arthroscopically assisted reduction and fixation with cannulated screws for tibial eminence fracture in skeletally immature patients. METHODS This was a retrospective case series study. Forty-eight patients who were skeletally immature at the time of tibial eminence fracture were treated in a tertiary chil...

Abstract Mucormycosis is a fungal infection that generally occurs in patients with some degree of immunosuppression, such as malignancies, diabetes, HIV infection, or who require the administration immunosuppressive drugs. The final diagnosis established by collecting tissue from infectious process and isolating fungus using lab cultures. treatment mucormycosis complex consists trying to reduce...

The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy custom 3D-printed osteosynthesis plates in the treatment of intercondylar humeral fractures.Thirteen patients with distal intercondylar humeral fractures were randomized to undergo surgery using either conventional plates (n = 7) or 3D-printed plates (n = 6) at our institution from March to October 2014. Both groups were compared in terms of ope...

OBJECTIVE A multifactorial combination of predictors may increase anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk in athletes. The objective of this twin study was to examine these risk factors to identify commonalities in risk factors that predisposed female fraternal twins to ACL injury. METHODS Female twins in high-risk sports were prospectively measured prior to an injury for neuromuscular c...

OBJECTIVES To ascertain thickness measurements on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in its middle third on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and to assess whether there is any association between variations in ligament thickness and patients' heights and ages, along with variations in the anatomical measurements on the knee. METHODS MRI scans on 48 knees were evaluated. The anteropost...
