Osgood-Schlatter disease (OSD) is a condition in which the patellar tendon insertion on the tibial tuberosity becomes inflamed. It is a well-known condition in late childhood characterized by pain and a bony prominence over the tibial tuberosity. The pain is usually exacerbated by physical activities like running, jumping, and climbing stairs. In the acute stage, the margins of the patellar ten...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the patellar ligament to tibial plateau angle (PL-TPA) and amount of achieved advancement in dogs that underwent the modified Maquet procedure; compare wedge sizes recommended using two different planning techniques (Orthomed and modified tibial tuberosity advancement); and evaluate anatomical factors that predict the wedge size required to obtain a 90° PL-TPA. METHODS ...

Tibial tuberosity fractures are rare in childhood, most frequently due to excessive quadriceps muscle contraction. On performing long jump, a 15-year-old boy sustained tibial tuberosity avulsion fracture type II according to Watson-Jones. The patient was treated operatively with fragment repositioning and screw fixation. Ten months after the injury and rehabilitation, he resumed his sports acti...

Background: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the topographic anatomy tibial nerve and its medial calcaneal branches in relation tip malleolus posterior superior tuberosity using ultrasound examination verify preoperative usefulness surgical treatment. Materials methods: Bilateral performed on 30 volunteers location bifurcation origin were measured. Medial analysed reference amount thei...

Objectives: Coronal and sagittal malalignment of the knee are well-recognized risk factors for failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, effect axial on ACLR graft survival is yet to be determined. This study aimed evaluate whether increased tibiofemoral rotational malalignment, namely rotation angle (TFA) tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, associa...

The objective of this study was to determine the effects of tibial rotation on in situ strain in the peripatellar retinaculum and patellofemoral contact pressures and areas. Patellofemoral joint biomechanics demonstrate a strong correlation with the etiology of patellofemoral disorders, such as chondromalacia, and are significantly influenced by tibial rotation. Six human cadaveric knees were u...

REASONS FOR PERFORMING STUDY Ultrasound is widely used in horses with stifle lameness, yet limited information is available regarding the appearance of normal and injured lateral patellar ligaments (LPL). OBJECTIVES To map the normal ultrasonographic appearance of the LPL. To describe the clinical and ultrasonographic features of LPL injuries. STUDY DESIGN Descriptive study of healthy horse...
