To identify the demographics and characteristics of operative acromioclavicular joint separations, as well characterize reconstruction techniques associated complications. The United States Military Health System Data Repository was queried for patients with a Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code coracoclavicular ligament between October 2013 March 2020. Patient demographics, radiology rep...

Desmitis of the oblique distal sesamoidean ligaments (ODSL) is caused by hyperextension of the metacarpophalangeal/metatarsophalangeal joint and has been described as a significant cause of lameness in racehorses. In this study, three Thoroughbred racehorses (age range: 3-6 years) were diagnosed with desmitis of the forelimb ODSL using standing low-field magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI). Radio...

BACKGROUND Recommendations for bone tunnel placement during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have become more precise. However, these recommendations differ neither with the choice of graft nor with the method of fixation used. The influence of the method of femoral fixation used on the biomechanical function of a soft tissue ACL graft remains unknown. HYPOTHESIS Our null hypot...

We read the article “Anatomical ACL reconstruction with double bundle: first 40 cases” by Zekcer A. et al [Rev Bras Ortop 2011;46(3): 262-5] with great interest and would like to make some comments on what was reported in that paper. The authors drilled an anteromedial femoral tunnel with the knee flexed at 90°. At this degree of flexion, the tunnel is significantly shorter than it is at flexio...
