Joint squeaking has classically been described after total hip arthroplasty using a ceramic-on-ceramic bearing surface. This phenomenon has also been found to occur after total knee arthroplasty and can be associated with patient concern and dissatisfaction. However, it has not been described in the postsurgical native knee. We present 2 cases of knee squeaking after medial patellofemoral ligam...

BACKGROUND The aim of management of Achilles tendon rupture is to reduce tendon lengthening and maximize function while reducing the rerupture rate and minimizing other complications. PURPOSE To determine changes in Achilles tendon resting angle (ATRA), heel-rise height, patient-reported outcomes, return to play, and occurrence of complications after minimally invasive repair of Achilles tend...

The effects of a chronic load of nonabsorbable sugars on intracolonic bacterial metabolism of carbohydrates and on H2 breath excretion are disputed. However, most of the discussion relies on indirect evidence or on results of in vitro studies. Thus, we attempted to assess directly and in vivo the effects on intracolonic metabolism of lactulose of a chronic oral load of this nonabsorbable disacc...

Purpose: We explored the effects of silicone tube fixation using a nonabsorbable suture on adult nasal wall during intubation.Methods: The medical records patients (50; 54 eyes) diagnosed with nasolacrimal duct stenosis and canalicular lacerations who underwent to (using sutures) intubation from January 2019 June 2021 were followed-up for more than 3 months after surgery retrospectively investi...
