PURPOSE To compare the tunnel enlargement of double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with and without suturing of autologous ruptured tissue to hamstring graft in patients with subacute anterior cruciate ligament injury. METHODS Ten patients with subacute (≤3 months after injury) anterior cruciate ligament rupture were randomly allocated to undergo DB ACLR with sut...

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of multiple drilling technique on therapeutic outcomes patients with osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) knee. Methods: controlled clinical trial was conducted 24 aged 13 - 45 years OCD types II and III according Dipaola classification magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assessments. The were classified into two groups (n = 12), including control...

Célunk, hogy felhívjuk a figyelmet az allografttal végzett revíziós elülső keresztszalag plasztika lehetőségére, valamint, bemutassuk ezzel eljárással szerzett tapasztalatainkat. Retrospektív vizsgálat keretében mértük fel 2019-es év során BTB replasztikáink eredményét. A stabilitást Lachman, pivot shift és asztalfiók teszttel, valamint roliméterrel vizsgáltuk. Betegeink kitöltötték Lysholm, Ku...

BACKGROUND In recent years, the scientific discussion has focused on new strategies to enable a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) to heal into mechanically stable scar tissue. Dynamic intraligamentary stabilization (DIS) was first performed in a pilot study of 10 patients. The purpose of the current study was to evaluate whether DIS would lead to similarly sufficient stability and good clin...

BACKGROUND Meniscocapsular separation (MCS) is a lesion of the area which is attached from the peripheral section of the meniscus to the capsule and is seen less often than other meniscus injuries. The aim of this study was to investigate which of the different side applications of all-inside MCS repair of the meniscus was better in respect of clinical and functional results. METHODS In this ...

Objectives: Our study aimed to determine how often the osteophyte located underneath anterior intermeniscal ligament is observed in patients who underwent arthroscopic surgery due degenerative meniscal tears, this can be diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, and whether could an indication for performed meniscopathy. Methods: retrospective included 47 operated meniscus tears between 2017 201...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to: 1) evaluate the differences in pre-post operative knee functioning, mechanical stability, isokinetic knee muscle strength in simultaneous arthroscopic patients after having undergone an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) with hamstring tendons reconstruction, 2) compare the results of ACL/PCL patients with the contro...

BACKGROUND Complex cartilage lesions of the knee including large cartilage defects, kissing lesions, and osteoarthritis (OA) represent a common problem in orthopaedic surgery and a challenging task for the orthopaedic surgeon. As there is only limited data, we performed a prospective clinical study to investigate the benefit of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) for this demanding patien...

Objective The study had 2 objectives: first, to evaluate the success of autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) in terms of incidence of surgical re-intervention, including arthroplasty, and investigate predictors of successful treatment outcome. The second objective was to derive a tool predicting a patient's arthroplasty risk following ACI. Design In this Level II, prognostic study, 170 ACI...
