Intra-articular ganglion cysts of the knee joint are rare and most frequently are an incidental finding on MRI and arthroscopy. Most of the previous studies have reported a single ganglion cyst in the knee. There have been previous reports of more than one cyst in the same knee but not in the same structure within the knee. We are reporting a case of dual ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) gangli...

Objective: To assess the prevalence of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) in Chinese patients undergoing knee arthroscopy surgery without thromboprophylaxis in routine clinical practice, and to identify the associated risk factors. Materials and methods: Medical records of 864 successive Chinese patients (≥ 18 year) who underwent different arthroscopic knee replacement surgery without thromboprophylaxi...

Looking into the cavities of the human body by means of devices, without having to make an incision in the skin, has always been the dream of surgeons. The quest to light up these dark spaces was resolved for the first time in 1886, with the advent of the first cystoscope fitted with an incandescent bulb, designed by Leiter and Nitze in Germany. In 1910, it was improved on by the Swedish physic...

Background and purpose - Recent evidence has questioned the effect of arthroscopic knee surgery for middle-aged and older patients with degenerative meniscal tears with or without concomitant radiographic knee osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the prevalence of early or more established knee OA and patients' characteristics in a cohort of patients undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a menisc...

conclusions our results have shown that indirect mr arthrography had greater diagnostic accuracy in regards to the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values than conventional mri in knee pathologies. results in all of the pathologies studied, the sensitivity, specificity, and the positive and negative predictive values were evaluated. a high rate of accuracy was foun...

BACKGROUND The traumatic or degenerative internal derangement of the knee requires certain investigations for the establishment of diagnosis, in addition to clinical history and a thorough physical examination. The use of arthrography and arthroscopy improves the accuracy of the diagnosis. MRI scanning of the knee joint has often been regarded as the noninvasive alternative to diagnostic arthro...
