The present study describes a novel all-arthroscopic technique for medial and lateral meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT). Surgical instruments were specifically designed to assist in the all-arthroscopic approach for MAT. The bone plug attachment technique, either the arthroscopic-assisted or all-arthroscopic approach, attaches bone plugs to the anterior and posterior horns. In the presen...

Acetabular labral tears or paralabral cysts in the hip are frequently detected using magnetic resonance imaging or arthrography. Unlike parameniscal cysts in the knee and paralabral cysts in the shoulder, reports of the outcomes of surgical treatment for paralabral cysts in the hip recalcitrant to conservative management are limited in the literature.The authors report 2 cases of paralabral cys...

Chondromalacia of the patella is frequently encountered in patients with anterior knee pain. Arthroscopic chondroplasty with perforation of subchondral bone remains a popular treatment alternative in spite of the inferior mechanical properties of the fibrocartilaginous tissue that this procedure is designed to promote. We report a case of cystic degeneration of the patella as a previously unrec...

In contemporary image and vision analysis, stochastic approaches demonstrate great flexibility in representing and modeling complex phenomena, while variational-PDE methods gain enormous computational advantages over Monte Carlo or other stochastic algorithms. In combination, the two can lead to much more powerful novel models and efficient algorithms. In the current work, we propose a stochast...

Fungal arthritis is a rare complication of arthroscopic surgeries, but its possibility should always be considered due its deleterious effects on any joint. Infection caused by the fungus Histoplasma capsulatum is the most common cause of respiratory tract infections by fungi, meanwhile histoplasmosis arthritis is more rare than all other fungal infections. However, their atypical forms of arth...

INTRODUCTION A new arthroscopic shoulder stabilisation procedure is proposed, which for some patients could be an alternative to the arthroscopic Latarjet procedure. METHODS The objective was to stabilize the shoulder by making a sling around the subscapularis tendon, using a hamstring graft and enhancing the anterior rim of the glenoid with the same graft. The anatomical feasibility of the s...

Riemann Existence Theorems for Galois covers of Mumford curves by Mumford curves are stated and proven. As an application, all finite groups are realised as full automorphism groups of Mumford curves in characteristic zero.

Background Hip arthroscopic surgery is a rapidly growing procedure, but it may be associated with a steep learning curve. Few studies have used patient-reported outcome (PRO) surveys to investigate the relationship between surgeon experience and patient outcomes after the arthroscopic treatment of femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). Hypothesis Patients undergoing hip arthroscopic surgery for ...

BACKGROUND Surgical intervention for anterior shoulder instability is commonly performed and is highly successful in reducing instances of recurrent instability. PURPOSE To determine and compare the incidence of 30-day complications and patient and surgical risk factors for complications for arthroscopic Bankart, open Bankart, and Latarjet-Bristow procedures. STUDY DESIGN Cohort study; Leve...

Background Extrusion of the meniscus has been reported to be correlated with progression of osteoarthritis. In cases with osteochondral lesions after extrusion of the meniscus, meniscal transplantation was the only surgical intervention. Recently, a novel procedure called arthroscopic centralisation has been developed to restore the meniscus function by centralising the midbody of the extruded ...
