Background: Knee osteoarthritis (KOA) causes joint pain and dysfunction that severely affects the patient’s ability to walk. Arthroscopy combined with intraarticular injection of sodium hyaluronate can slow development knee osteoarthritis, but there is a lack rigorous evidence-based medicine evaluation, it has not been recognized by some scholars at home abroad. This paper analyzed clinical eff...

Abstract Background Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) is a well-established procedure for addressing recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) in young patients. However, despite being promising RPD with genu valgum, there scarcity of reports on simultaneous MPFLR and closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy (CWDFO). The purpose the present study was to observe analyse clinical ima...

Background: Diffuse pigmented villonodular synovitis (DPVNS) of the knee is a difficult tumor to eradicate, gold standard treatment has traditionally been surgical excision with total synovectomy affected joint, either an open or arthroscopic approach. In this study, we are focusing on synovectomy. Objectives: Aimed study outcome for diffuse in Haj Alsafi Teaching Hospital. Methodology: Observa...

  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 isol...

  Background: No uniform consensus exists to decide type of fixation for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Hypothsis: There is similar functional outcome after rigid fix compared to other methods of fixation which has been published. Study design: Retrospective observational study. Methods: A total of 50 patients underwent arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruc...

[Purpose] To compare outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction after open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises and closed kinetic chain (CKC) exercises. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects comprised 11 female and 47 male patients who are randomly divided into two groups: which performed a CKC exercise program Group I and Group II which performed an OKC exercise program. Pain intensit...

The aim of this study is to compare three modes of femoral fixation, namely Aperfix, Rigidfix and Endobutton, in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. 120 patients were randomly assigned to three groups, each consisting of 40 patients, and each group was treated by one of the above mentioned methods of femoral fixation. All patients were examined prior to and 24 months after surgery,...

BACKGROUND Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are not rare in acute knee injuries, and several recent anatomical studies of the PCL and reconstructive surgical techniques have generated improved patient results. Now, we have evaluated PCL reconstructions performed by either the single-bundle or double-bundle technique in a patient group followed up retrospectively for more than 10 years...
