[Purpose] To evaluate the effects of balance training after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. [Subjects and Methods] Sixteen patients (mean 33 ± 8 years old) who underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction three months prior to participating in a one-month rehabilitation program. The control group included 15 people aged 34 ± 4 years. Patients' functional level was...

Arthritis treatment in young patients remains a challenge. Joint replacement surgery offers excellent pain relief but is controversial with this age group because of long-term wear and loosening. Recently, biological reconstructive techniques have become available to improve traditional treatment methods such as osteotomies. We present our experience with a technique for combined meniscal trans...

We retrospectively reviewed the operative treatment carried out between 1988 and 1994 of eight patients with habitual patellar dislocation. In four the condition was bilateral. All patients had recurrent dislocation with severe functional disability. The surgical technique involved distal advancement of the patella by complete mobilisation of the patellar tendon, lateral release and advancement...

Introduction: Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament [ACL] reconstruction is very commonly done procedure in recent times {1}. The graft fixation methods vary from aperture fixation [Interference screws] to suspensory fixation methods [Endobutton]. This is a Prospective non randomised clinical study of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction comparing the functional results between aperture fixation a...

Introduction Tibial spine avulsion fracture is more frequent in children than adults. Various methods of fixation have been mentioned, but concern remains about crossing the tibial physis. We present a technique of arthroscopic fixation with non-absorbable suture. Case Report A total of 10 skeletally immature patients with tibial spine avulsion of Meyers and McKeever Type 2 and 3 were include...

BACKGROUND Associated joint disorders with popliteal cysts were stated approximately between the ranges of 41-83 % in all reported cases. Combined treatment strategies that eliminate intra-articular pathologies and cyst- associated valve mechanisms are thought to be a good option in treatment of the disease. In this study, our main objective is to present clinical results of our combined treatm...

Background There is a lack of literature regarding the arthroscopic approach to single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using quadrupled hamstring tendon graft in north-eastern Indian population. Methodology A prospective, single-center study was planned for patients with ACL tears according eligibility criteria and defined surgical protocol. Patients were followed up from...

conclusions the odscp has many advantages over the other type of plates. it can help the surgeon to operate with a relaxed mind and it is advisable for high tibial medial open wedge osteotomies. results the mean follow-up time was 9.33 ± 1.87 month. the average age was 45.13 ± 7.25 years. three patients were male and 13 patients were female. the lysholm score showed a significant difference bef...

OBJECTIVE To review the clinical results of arthroscopic meniscal repair and to identify factors that may affect the outcome. METHODS A total of 15 arthroscopic meniscal repairs with inside-out in 14 patients over a 7-year period were evaluated retrospectively. The mean age was 41.2 +/- 11.5 years with a range of 26-64 years. Eleven patients underwent repair for medial meniscal tear, two pati...

Eleven skeletally immature adolescents underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a transphyseal tibial and femoral tunnel. An autologous quadrupled hamstring tendon was used in all cases and the average follow-up was 77.7 months. Clinical results were evaluated using Lysholm knee scores and a return to pre-injury sports activities. Radiological results were evaluated using side-...
