Recent years have seen ACL reconstruction performed in a broad range of patients, regardless of age, sex or occupation, thanks to great advances in surgical techniques, instrumentation and the basic research. Favorable results have been reported; however, we have not been able to locate any reports describing ACL reconstruction in patients with athetoid cerebral palsy.We present herein a previo...

Increasing instability of the knee developed in a 27-year-old man who had torn his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) approximately 10 years prior to surgical intervention. After initial conservative treatment, including use of a functional brace for activity, the patient opted for surgical reconstruction with a patellar tendon graft. One of the authors conducted three preoperative examinations t...

Medial tibial plateau osteonecrosis is a disease that lacks distinguishing signs and symptoms, especially in the early stage, and requires clinicians to exercise a high degree of suspicion to prevent disease progression. We present a case of spontaneous osteonecrosis of the medial tibial plateau in a 59-year-old woman. Within 5 months of the onset of symptoms, the entire medial tibial plateau c...

Individuals with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury use greater extensor torques at the hip and ankle and lower extensor torques and joint power at the knee during gait compared to healthy subjects. These adaptations may be mediated by (1) altered neuromuscular strategies due to the injury, (2) training effects produced by rehabilitation protocols, and (3) training effects due to the funct...

Abstract This study analyzed the functional design by investigating distribution of clothing pressure cycling knee brace using a three-dimensional virtual program. Based on average body size Korean men in their 40 s, wearing and condition were collected five products. According to results, bonding fabric products had high possibility increasing inconvenience, as they higher at all measurement p...
