This study compares two different methods of aligning the tibial component in a total knee arthroplasty, one by aligning the component with the border between the medial one third and lateral two thirds of the tibial tubercle and the other by allowing the component to seek its own position as the knee is taken through a range of motion. The first technique emphasizes the need to maintain an app...

Background: Presentation of proximal tibia stress fracture is not infrequent among elderly patients due to their poorbone stock. Optimal management of patients with severe gonarthrosis of the knee and concurrent tibial stress fracture isnot known yet. In this study we report the outcome of primary total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using stemmed componentsin elderly patients.Methods: Between 2009 an...

El siguiente caso, se trata de una paciente sexo femenino que acude a consulta traumatología por dolor rodilla y dificultad para deambular, sin antecedente trauma. En la radiografía anteroposterior lateral evidencia múltiples áreas radiolúcidas escleróticas en meseta tibial fémur distal derecho. La biopsia reporta: Condrosarcoma indiferenciado Grado 2. Se inicia sesiones quimioterapia profiláct...

One of the most common complications long-term talocrural joint (TCJ) injury is development chronic instability. Among risk factors for its occurrence - congenital or acquired shortening (hypoplasia) lateral malleolus varying degrees. Objective. Determine effect hypoplasia on distribution stresses in bone and ligament elements foot. Methods. Mathematical modeling distal end thelower extremity w...

Dear Editor-in-Chief, Many techniques have been described for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament rupture in dogs. The most commonly used of the corrective osteotomies are: tibial plateau levelling osteotomy, tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA), and more recently the Maquet technique has been described (1). Complications from TTA can be divided into major and minor complications. Major c...

BACKGROUND Consistent reference data used for anatomic posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction is not well defined. Quantitative guidelines defining the location of PCL attachment would aid in performing anatomic PCL reconstruction. The purpose was to characterize anatomic parameters of the PCL tibial attachment based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in a large population of adult k...

This study tested the validity of the prediction of dynamic knee loads based on gait measurements. The relationship between the predicted loads at the knee and the distribution of bone between the medial and lateral sides of the tibia was examined. The motion and external forces and moments at the knee were measured during gait and a statically determinate muscle model was used to predict the c...

The treatment of glenoid bone loss in the setting of recurrent shoulder instability remains a challenge. This is because of the nonanatomic nature and resultant incongruous joint resulting from most bony augmentation procedures. We present a novel technique for the management of glenoid bone deficiency by using a fresh osteochondral distal tibial allograft. We have found that the distal tibia h...

OBJECTIVE To describe a cohort of dogs with medial patellar luxation managed with a distal femoral lateral closing wedge ostectomy (DFO) as a component of comprehensive treatment, and to report radiographic and long-term clinical outcome of this technique. METHODS Medical records of dogs that had a lateral closing wedge DFO as part of management of medial patellar luxation at three veterinary...
