Background: A prospective study of a cohort anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructed patients 7 years after surgery revealed degenerative radiographic changes in 95% patients, and only 47% were able to return their previous activity level following ACL reconstruction. Aims Objectives: The aims this find the correlation between Semitendinosus graft dimension with respect anthropometry such...

Background: Major leg wound complications after coronary artery bypass graft procedures are infrequent and few are reported in the litrature.We present our experience in treating 30 patients with major leg wound complications after coronary revascularization procedures. Materials and Methods: A retrospective review of 2100 bypass procedures with saphenous veingraft performed over a 5-years p...

AIM To analyse the morbidity arising from autogenous bone graft harvesting, graft resorption and implant survival in grafted sites. MATERIALS AND METHODS Only comparative clinical trials on the harvest of autogenous bone grafts were selected. Studies were excluded if they compared autogenous bone grafts to bone substitutes or vascularised free bone grafts. RESULTS A total of 24 studies were...

F ascia lata (FL) is a material that is abundant and safe to harvest and has multiple uses as a graft material. Its advantage in augmentation rhinoplas-ty is in creating a smooth, natural looking dorsum. 2 Many techniques have been described for FL harvest, which require endoscopes, strippers, or fasciotomes. 4 Other small incision techniques have been described, but the graft segment harvested...

Background: Injury to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) is common after arthroscopic ACLreconstruction with hamstring tendon autograft, as reported in up to 88% of the cases. Due to close relationshipbetween the IPBSN with pes anserine tendons insertion skin incision may sever IPBSN while harvesting gracillis andsemitendinous tendons. As the IPBSN course at the anterior of...

PURPOSE To compare the short term clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autologous hamstring tendon between Rigid-fix and PINN-ACL Cross Pin for femoral side fixation. MATERIALS AND METHODS 127 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using autologous hamstring tendon and had been followedup for over than one year were enrolled for the present ...
