BACKGROUND Patient Reported Outcome (PRO) measurements have become an important tool to evaluate disease-related quality of life. The "International Hip Outcome Tool" (iHOT12) is a self-administered patient-reported outcome tool, which includes questions on the patient's symptoms, functional and sports limitations as well as social, emotional, and occupational limitations. The purpose of this s...

Objective: The aim of this study was to compare functional performance, force sense knee joint, kinesiophobia, quality life, and activity level between patients with partial meniscectomy healthy people.
 Methods: Twenty within six months three years postoperatively 20 were included in study. Maximal voluntary isometric muscle strength Quadriceps femoris the biofeedback device, life Western...

Background: Hamstring and peroneus longus tendon auto graft has similar biomechanical strength. Peroneus is a potential in reconstructive orthopaedic procedures. There was few study evaluation of usage ACL reconstruction. We aimed to quantify the outcome donor site morbidity reconstruction using graft.Methods: Patients who suffered isolated injury were enrolled underwent trans-portal single bun...

Background: The anterior half of the peroneus longus tendon (AHPLT) has recently gained popularity to become alternate graft choice for cruciate ligament reconstruction due its acceptable biomechanical properties, easy and safe harvest. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted compare results (ACL) with AHPLT hamstring at minimum 3 years follow-up. Knee stability, International Documentatio...

BACKGROUND In recent years, the scientific discussion has focused on new strategies to enable a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) to heal into mechanically stable scar tissue. Dynamic intraligamentary stabilization (DIS) with LigamysTM was first performed in a pilot study of 10 patients. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate the five year results of this group. METHODS Inclusio...

Purpose High Outerbridge grade lesions of the articular cartilage have been associated with poor outcomes of high tibial osteotomy (HTO). However, there has been no report on the efficacy of HTO in the presence of kissing lesions. The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiographic outcomes of HTO between kissing lesion and non-kissing lesion groups. Materials and Methods Of th...

BACKGROUND one of the most recent technique is the "all inside" anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. One of the main characteristic of this procedure is the sparing of the tibial cortex. Furthermore, the all-inside technique requires only one tendon harvested. PURPOSE the present study describes two year clinical outcomes of the all-inside method for ACL reconstruction, and compar...
