The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between isokinetic strengths, subjective knee scores, and functional performance in patients with an ACL-reconstructed knee. Methods: Fifty-five male patients between the ages of 16~53 years were enrolled in this study. At the time of testing, a mean 19.7 months had elapsed since the patients had received ACL reconstruction. Muscle streng...

BACKGROUND Among the many factors that determine the outcome following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, the position of the femoral tunnel is known to be critically important and is still the subject of extensive research. OBJECTIVE We aimed to retrospectively compare the outcomes of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using transtibial (TT) or anteromedial (AMP) drilling techniqu...

Background High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a recommended treatment for medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. Newer cartilage regenerative procedures may add benefits to the results of HTO. In this prospective study we have investigated the safety and also results of HTO associated with autologous bone marrow derived cells (BMDC) implantation in relatively young and middle aged active individua...

Distal femoral medial closing wedge osteotomy (DFMCWO) may be a valuable treatment for arthritic valgus knees in young and active adults, with the possible aim of procrastinating knee replacement. 32 valgus knees (mean age : 41.4±11.2) treated with DFMCWO were retrospectively reviewed. All the knees had a lateral compartment osteoarthritis graded I-II-III according to Kellgren Lawrence classifi...

PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome of reconstruction for chronic grade-II posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) deficiency in Malaysian military personnel. METHODS Medical records of 16 male military personnel aged 25 to 41 years who underwent reconstruction for chronic grade-II PCL deficiency using the quadruple hamstrings tendon by a single surgeon were reviewed.

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the outcomes of bursoscopic ossicle excision in young and active patients with unresolved Osgood-Schlatter disease. METHODS This retrospective study included 18 male military recruits. A direct bursoscopic ossicle excision was performed using low anterolateral and low anteromedial portals. Outcomes were evaluated using the Lysholm knee score, pai...
