Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) ruptures account for nearly 20% of all ligamentous knee injuries. These may be either isolated or in the setting of a more complex knee trauma. Isolated tears with moderate posterior laxity (grades I or II) are commonly treated conservatively; nevertheless, symptomatic grade III injuries frequently require surgical intervention. PCL reconstruction remains a cha...

We present our methodology for the three-dimensional anatomical and geometrical description of soft tissues, relevant for orthopaedic surgical applications and musculoskeletal biomechanics. The technique involves the segmentation and geometrical description of muscles and neurovascular structures from high-resolution computer tomography scanning for the reconstruction of generic anatomical mode...

Direct ventral access to the cervicothoracic spine (C7-T4) poses a technical challenge in spine surgery, given the vital neurovascular structures residing anterior to the cervicothoracic junction (CTJ). The transsternal approach is a feasible surgical option that allows for direct anterior exposure of the lower cervical and upper thoracic vertebrae. Here, the authors report a case of an elderly...

Complications of wounds and cosmetic surgery can be accurately managed with a combination of timely surgical and medical intervention to ensure the best possible outcome. The lack of soft tissue protection and a large quantity of susceptible synovial, tendon, ligament, and neurovascular structures make early and meticulous evaluation of limb wounds critical. Skin grafting is usually used follow...

Total hip arthroplasty is a common and relatively safe procedure with consistently good results. Despite its popularity and excellent results, THA is a major operation with several major neurovascular structures within reach of retractors, scalpel blades, drills, screws, and reamers. A thorough knowledge of their anatomic location and proximity to the operative field, along with a basic underst...

The current conventional portals for hip arthroscopic surgery are the anterior, anterolateral, and posterolateral portals. For lesions in the medial anteroinferior or posteroinferior portion of the hip, these portals provide insufficient access to the lesion and consequently lead to incomplete treatment. Thus, in such a situation, a medial portal approach might be helpful. However, operators ha...

Achilles tendinopathy affects athletes, recreational exercisers and even inactive people. The pathology is not inflammatory; it is a failed healing response. The source of pain in tendinopathy could be related to the neurovascular ingrowth seen in the tendon's response to injury. The treatment of Achilles tendinopathy is primarily conservative with an array of effective treatment options now av...

INTRODUCTION: Objective, non-invasive, sequential monitoring of peripheral nerve(PN) regeneration and revascularization after surgery is critical for evaluation of the efficacy of re-innervation and treatment strategies that may have important implications in recovery and outcome in PN/vessel injury as well as in VCA. For the first time, our group built a forearm/hand MRI coil for 7 Tesla MRI t...

Abstract Introduction The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety carotid endarterectomy for symptomatic stenosis during COVID-19 pandemic. Method Re-organisation stroke services due pandemic resulted in disease being performed two hospitals; Covid-19 free non-free sites. Patients were referred from multiple online regional neurovascular multi-disciplinary team mee...

Type 4 supracondylar fractures are challenging to treat. Closed reduction may become impossible due brachialis muscle penetration and devastating results like a neurovascular injury that occur during recurrent manipulations. We here report an intra-focal percutaneous technique for maintaining closed reduction. An extensively posterior displaced type fracture with dimple at the antecubital fossa...
