While injury to the posterolateral corner is accepted as a relatively common occurrence associated with rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament, posteromedial meniscocapsular injury has not previously been recognised as such. In a prospective assessment of 183 consecutive reconstructions of the anterior cruciate ligament this injury was observed in 17 cases, giving it an incidence of 9.3%. Cl...

Lateral instability of the knee is less frequent but more disabling than medial instability of a comparable amount. At the same time the diagnostic tests for lateral instability are more subtle and more frequently misinterpreted. Posterolateral rotatory subluxation is demonstrated by an apparently positive posterior drawer test with the tibia in neutral rotation or by the external rotation-recu...

The synovitis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) injures structures in the cervical spine, allowing atlantoaxial subluxation, atlantoaxial impaction, and subaxial subluxation. Spinal cord and vertebral artery injury can ensue. Subluxations are common, but neurologic abnormalities are less so. Patients with RA can die from subluxations but usually do not, although many become worse with time. Nonsurgi...

The patient was initially treated bv skull traction, with some reduction of the subluxation. Two weeks later he underwent atlantoaxial fusioni with interlaminar wiring. Clinical improvement was graduals but by three months there was sound fusion and a full neurological recovery except for minor ankle clonus. The exact pathology of atlantoaxial subluxation in psoriatic arthropathy is uncertain, ...
