BACKGROUND Cranial cruciate ligament insufficiency is a common orthopaedic problem in canine patients. This cadaveric and radiographic study was performed with the aim of determining the effect of proximal translation of the tibial tuberosity during tibial tuberosity advancement (TTA) on patellar position (PP) and patellar ligament angle (PLA). RESULTS Disarticulated left hind limb specimens ...

INTRODUCTION High tibial osteotomy remains a useful procedure for delaying total knee arthroplasty for young patients with unicompartimental medial osteoarthritis of the knee. The tibial posterior slope is essential for both ligament function and knee kinematics. Even though many articles were published in the literature, the long term influence of open wedge high tibial osteotomy on the poster...

RATIONALE It is challenging to visualize and reduce a posterolateral tibial plateau fracture through an anterolateral approach as the tibial plateau fragments are often covered by the fibular head and ligamentous structures. PATIENT CONCERNS In this case report, we describe a patient with a depression fracture of the posterolateral quadrant combined with a split fracture of the posteromedial ...

Tibial stems are necessary in most total knee revisions to share the load and protect the fixation interface of the tibial tray. Successful use of a tibial stem requires independent stability of the stem with or without cement. Some additional geometry on the undersurface of the tibial tray such as peripheral pegs or fins is necessary to provide additional resistance to rotatory stresses if the...

INTRODUCTION: Historically, tibial tunnel creation in ACL reconstruction was performed by antegrade insertion of a tibial guide pin followed by antegrade reaming from the anteromedial tibial metaphysis (distal aperture) to the tibial plateau (proximal aperture). In the last few years retrograde reaming has been introduced.[1, 2] It has been theorized that the retrograde tibial tunnel drilling t...

Background: The TTN gene is related to a broad phenotype spectrum including tibial muscular dystrophy, hereditary myopathy with respiratory failure, limb girdle dystrophy 2J and dilated or hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. In 2014, Chauveau et al, described phenotypes cardiac septal defects, left ventricular non-compaction, Emery-Dreifuss arthrogryposis. 2020, Savarese showed most of patients bialle...

Purpose Elastic stable intramedullary nailing is increasingly used for surgical treatment of tibial shaft fractures, but frequently requires immobilization and delayed full weight-bearing. Therefore, external fixation remains interesting. The aim was to report clinico-radiological outcomes of monolateral external fixation for displaced and unstable tibial shaft fractures in children. Methods ...

OBJECTIVE To assess the efficacy of flexible intramedullary Ender nails for the treatment of tibial diaphyseal. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a retrospective review of patients treated with the Ender Nail for both open and closed tibial shaft fractures. Between January 1989 and December 1994, 43 fractures were treated with these nails. The configuration of each fracture was determined using t...

BACKGROUND In developing countries, Ilizarov or AO external fixator is usually used for treatment of tibial open fractures. The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of these two methods for treatment of tibial open fractures. METHODS From April 2002 to April 2010, 120 patients with open tibial fractures admitted to the Department of Orthopedics of Babol University of Medical Scie...

BACKGROUND Reamed interlocking intramedullary nailing is considered the gold standard treatment for complex fractures of the femoral and tibial shaft. There has been some controversies about dynamization of statically locked nails, and some authors recommended routine dynamization for promotion of healing. This study aims to evaluate treatment of complex fractures in tibia and femur with static...
