Study Design Case report. Objective To analyze the surgical difficulties in restoring global spinal stability and to describe an effective surgical option for tuberculosis with extensive destruction of the lumbosacral spine. Advanced tuberculosis with destruction of the lumbosacral spine can result in a kyphosis or hypolordosis, leading to back pain, spinal instability, and neurological deficit...

Acromioclavicular joint injuries and, more specifically, separations are commonplace both in general practice and during athletic participation. This article reviews the traditional classification as well as the clinical evaluation of patients with acute and chronic acromioclavicular joint separations. It also highlights many recent advances, principally in the anatomy and biomechanics of the a...

Abstract Introduction The scapholunate interosseous ligament (SLIL) is commonly ruptured following a fall onto the outstretched hand. This has three subregions: dorsal, proximal, and volar. SLIL enthesis, specialised region where this attaches to scaphoid lunate, not previously been studied despite its important mechanical function in wrist joint biomechanics. study therefore aims compare histo...

Allograft safety is contingent on effective sterilization methods such as gamma irradiation. However, recent clinical studies have associated gamma irradiation with decreased graft strength and increased allograft failure rates, despite data that shows no deleterious effects to soft tissue biomechanics at gamma doses between 1.46 and 2.18 mRad. The objective of this study was to compare the bio...

OBJECTIVE To test an intra-articular reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee in 10 human cadavers by replacing 2 anterior cruciate ligament bundles, with the purpose of producing a surrogate that would be structurally more similar to the anatomy of the anterior cruciate ligament and would provide the knee with more stability. METHODS We reconstructed the anteromedial and ...

PURPOSE To systematically review and compare biomechanical results of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) procedures. METHODS A systematic review was performed using the PubMed, Medline, Embase, and Cochrane databases. The search terms included the following: extraarticular, anterolateral, iliotibial, tenodesis, plasty, augmentation, procedure, reconstruction, technique, biomechanics, kin...

Rehabilitation of the incomplete dentition by means of osseointegrated implants represents a highly predictable and widespread therapy. Advantages of oral implant treatment over conventional non-surgical prosthetic rehabilitation involve avoidance of removable dentures and tooth structure conservation of the remaining dentition. Implant placement necessitates sufficient bone quantity as well as...
