Tibial plateau fractures may result in significant limitations postoperatively. Studies have described outcomes of arthroscopic-assisted percutaneous fixation (AAPF) of these injuries but have rarely reported postoperative activity levels. Between 2009 and 2013, patients who sustained a lateral split, split depression, or pure depression type tibial plateau fracture (Schatzker types I-III fract...

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 Subjective evaluation by patients has recently become an important adjunct to postoperative clinical assessment. Apart from standard physical examination, scales demonstrating patients’ subjective outcome measures are used for assessing the efficacy of the treatment and rehabilitation of knee ligamentous injuries. The present work presents patients’ subjective assessment of rehabilit...

Purpose  The aim of the study was to evaluate the "over the top" (OTT) nonanatomical technique for revision of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Methods  Twenty-four patients with a mean age of 31.9 ± 11.2 years underwent revision of ACL reconstruction using OTT technique. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) score, Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)...

The aim of this prospective study was to compare two arthroscopic techniques for reconstructing the anterior cruciate ligament, the "outside-in" (two incisions) and the "all-inside" (one incision) techniques. The results obtained for 30 patients operated on using the "outside-in" technique (group I) were compared with those for 29 patients operated on using the "all-inside" technique (group II)...

[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...

Objective. To study the effectiveness of high tibial osteotomy (HTO) in treatment for 2–3 stage osteoarthritis knee. Materials and methods . Over 2015–2022 period, 56 surgeries using HTO were performed 49 patients with knee stages at Vladivostok Clinical City Hospital No. 2. Biplanar was above tuberosity. Locking compression plates used fixation. The results assessed according to Lysholm Knee S...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate knee function in patients undergoing reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using the central third of the patellar ligament or the medial flexor tendons of the knee, i.e. quadruple ligaments from the semitendinosus and gracilis (ST-G), by means of the Knee Society Score (KSS) and the Lysholm scale. METHODS This was a randomized prospective longitudinal ...

Purpose: The purpose of this retrospective analysis was to evaluate the medium-term results of arthroscopic treatment of chondral and osteochondral lesions of the knee with autogenous osteochondral transplantation (AOT). Type of Study: Case series. Methods: Thirty-three skeletally mature patients with symptomatic, full-thickness cartilage lesions of the femoral condyles, between 1 and 2.5 cm in...
