Posterolateral instability (PLI) is common with posterior cruciate ligament tears and is less common with anterior cruciate ligament tears, and isolated PLI is rare. There are varying degrees of PLI with respect to pathologic external tibial rotation, and varus laxity. Surgical treatment of PLI must address all components of the PLI (popliteus tendon, popliteofibular ligament, lateral collatera...

Most carpal dislocations occur in the lunate bone or around it (perilunate). An isolated dislocation of the carpal scaphoid is a rare injury. We report a case of a palmar scaphoid dislocation combined with a dorsal perilunate dislocation, which was treated with open reduction, fixed with two Kirschner wires and ligament repair, with a good result.

A case of fibrolipomatous hamartoma of the median nerve is presented. The operative findings were characteristic. The diagnosis should be confirmed by histological examination of a biopsy from an involved palmar cutaneous branch, and treatment should be limited to decompression of the ligament or fascia over the involved area.

Abstract Arthroscopic surgery in the knee most commonly addresses ligament, meniscal, or articular cartilage abnormalities. Similarly, arthroscopic of shoulder tendon and labral The expected postoperative MRI findings depend on both procedure performed time since surgery. Identifying complications failed procedures relies clinical imaging evaluations.

Despite the importance of tendons and ligaments for transmitting movement and providing stability to the musculoskeletal system, their development isconsiderably lesswell understood than thatof the tissues they serve to connect. Zebrafish have been widely used to address questions inmuscle and skeletal development, yet few studies describe their tendon and ligament tissues. We have analyzed in ...

BACKGROUND after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, it is necessary to integrate free tendon graft biologically to the bone. In the present study, to verify whether a structure identical to the normal ligament-bone insertion could be regenerated at the tendon-bone interface without bone tunnel, we designed ACL reconstruction model without a tibial bone tunnel. Moreover, to enhance...

In order to clarify the role of cytokines in the remodelling of the grafted tendon for ligament reconstruction we compared the responses to interleukin (IL)-1beta, platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB and transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 of extrinsic fibroblasts infiltrating the frozen-thawed patellar tendon in rats with that of the normal tendon fibroblasts, in regard to the gene exp...

Bone-patellar tendon-bone graft has been an attractive option for single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in clinical practice. However, the graft-tunnel mismatch in the proximal part of the tibial tunnel and the ultimate strength after postoperative ligamentization process have been potential problems for the traditional 10-mm wide graft. We modified the traditional bone-patell...
