PURPOSE Osteochondral fractures in skeletally immature patients are rare. A retrospective case series is reported looking at the use of Omnitech compression screws for these injuries. METHOD Nine patients with a mean age of 14 were included in the study with a mean follow up of 26 months. RESULTS The average KOOS, IKDC and Tegner Lysholm Scores were 86.7, 90.34 and 96.1 respectively. CONC...

Background: It has been shown that the proper placement of ACL graft during the ACL reconstruction surgery significantly improves the clinical outcomes. This study investigated whether a change in the femoral tunnel position in both axial and coronal planes can significantly alter the postoperative functional and clinical outcomes of the patients. Methods: This comparative, retrospective, singl...

BACKGROUND Allografts offer potential advantages over autografts in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), including the absence of donor site morbidity, shorter operative times, improved cosmesis, and easier rehabilitation. There is limited and conflicting outcome data for ACLR with tibialis anterior allograft. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of ACL...

Objective: To compare the clinical efficacy of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction via autologous bone-patellar tendon-bone (auBPB), autologous hamstring tendon (auHT) and allogeneic bone-patellar tendon-bone (alBPB) under arthroscope. Methods: One hundred and thirty four cases of patients who accepted ACL reconstruction in our hospital from December 2013 to January 2016 were random...

BACKGROUND The treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture complicated with posterior lateral meniscus root (PLMR) tears remains controversial. The goal of this study was to evaluate clinical outcomes of PLMR tear refixation versus left untreated at the time of reconstruction. MATERIAL/METHODS From August 2001 to January 2012, 31 patients who undergone repair of PLMR tears were eval...

OBJECTIVE To compare the functional results from surgical treatment for anatomical reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) with a single band, using two types of autologous grafts. METHODS Twenty-seven patients who underwent anatomical reconstruction of the ACL by means of the Chambat technique were evaluated prospectively. They were divided into two groups: A, with 14 patients...
