BACKGROUND Evaluating patient-reported outcomes (PRO) in early osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee is difficult. Established measurement tools are focused on one of the two major patient groups in knee surgery: young, highly active patients, or older patients with advanced degenerative OA of the knee. Joint awareness in everyday life is a crucial criterion in measuring PRO. The purpose of this stud...

BACKGROUND The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most frequently injured ligament of the knee, but it infrequently requires surgical treatment. Current literature on MCL reconstructions is sparse and offers mixed outcome measures. PURPOSE/HYPOTHESIS The purpose of this study was to compare the outcomes of isolated MCL reconstruction and multiligamentous MCL reconstruction. Our hypothesi...

Aim: Retrograde intramedullary nailing for the treatment of femur fractures is a sound option due to its advantages including ease implant placement and better control distal segment, especially in fractures. Unfortunately, retrograde femoral nails are not available most developing countries or rural areas. The primary aim study investigate outcomes an alternative fracture with using tibial nai...

Abstract Background Matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (mACI) can be performed in a full arthroscopic or mini-open fashion. A systematic review was conducted to investigate whether arthroscopy provides better surgical outcomes compared with the approach for mACI knee at midterm follow-up. Methods This following PRISMA guidelines. The literature search May 2021. All prospective s...

BACKGROUND/AIM Consequences of an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury include worse patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and a decrease in activity level. Muscle function can be improved by targeted exercise. Our aims were to investigate cross-sectional and longitudinal associations among lower extremity muscle function and PROs after ACL injury. METHODS Fifty-four participants (15 women, mea...

Objective: Autologous matrix-induced chondrogenesis (AMIC) is a 1-step cartilage restoration technique that combines microfracture with the use of an exogenous scaffold. This matrix covers and mechanically stabilizes the clot. There have been an increasing number of studies performed related to the AMIC technique and an update of its use and results is warranted. Design and methods: Using the P...

The aim of this analysis was to compare the functional outcomes, knee stability, and complications of patients after the arthroscopic double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with those of singlebundle ACL reconstruction. An electronic search of the PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases was performed. The analyzed outcomes were Lysholm scores, Tegner scores, subject...

Data on meniscal repair after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) is scarce. This study aimed to report clinical outcomes and failure rate for isolated repairs in patients with a prior history of ACLR. was collected who underwent stable knee ACLR minimum follow-up 2 years. Preoperative evaluation stability performed instrumented differential laxity. Tegner activity scale, ACL...

PurposeTo compare the effectiveness and safety of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) hyaluronic acid (HA) in patients with adult knee osteoarthritis (KOA) to explore most effective safe protocol by using a meta-analysis method.MethodsThis study was based on Cochrane methodology for conducting meta-analysis. Only randomized controlled trials an experimental group that used PRP control received HA were e...

background: articular cartilage injuries are a common clinical problem at the time of acl reconstruction with an incidence rate of 16-46%. good results of acl reconstruction combined with the treatment of chondral lesions have been published in some studies. method: after statistical analysis 30 patients were selected and divided in 2 groups. theffirst group consisted of 15 patients wite isolat...
