Objective: Femoral fixation in ACL reconstruction with flexor tendon grafts can vary greatly according to the provision of materials and the surgeon’s experience. But studies comparing fixation systems are most often performed on cadavers or animals, without evaluating the clinical results, which affects their comparison with live human patients. This article evaluates the clinical and subjecti...

Animal studies have shown that implanted anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts initially undergo a process of revascularisation prior to remodelling, ultimately increasing mechanical strength. We investigated whether minimal debridement of the intercondylar notch and the residual stump of the ruptured ACL leads to earlier revascularisation in ACL reconstruction in humans. We undertook a rando...

BACKGROUND The Segond fracture is an avulsion-type fracture located on the anterolateral aspect of the tibia associated with a ligament recently termed the anterolateral ligament. This injury has been described as pathognomonic for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and is associated with a higher grade pivot shift. PURPOSE To present and report 2-year clinical outcomes of a surgical te...

Patients: 80 patients (mean age, 29 y; 80% men) who had arthroscopic confirmation of complete rupture of the ACL, objective anterolateral rotatory instability (a positive result on the Lachman and pivot-shift tests), and loss of stability prompting giving-way of the knee joint. Other inclusion criteria were no previous or simultaneous intra-articular surgical procedure, no cartilage deteriorati...

Tibial eminence avulsion fractures are relatively rare injuries, most frequently occurring in skeletally immature patients. Screws or suture fixation can be used, with each offering different potential advantages. The purpose of this retrospective study was to evaluate the clinical outcomes of a suture fixation technique for displaced tibial eminence avulsion fractures using the Rotator Cuff Gu...

BACKGROUND Bone-patellar tendon-bone (bone-tendon-bone) and four-strand hamstring tendon grafts (hamstring) are the most commonly utilized autografts for primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Existing clinical trials, registry studies, and meta-analyses offer conflicting opinions regarding the most favorable graft choice. QUESTIONS/PURPOSES Which graft type for ACL reconstr...

Background and Study Aim. The tear of the anterior cruciate ligament knee joint is experienced by people all ages for a variety reasons. physiotherapy procedures with different equipment help recover lost functions. aim this research was to determine effect ‘TRX’ (Total body Resistance eXercise) suspension trainer platform ‘BOSU’ (Both Sides Utilized) after reconstruction.

The belief that people are in control of desired outcomes, including those associated with aging, is a hallmark of American culture. Nevertheless, older adults are less likely than the young to believe there are things that can be done to control aging-related declines in areas such as memory. Within age groups, individual differences in control beliefs are related to cognitive performance, hea...

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mid-term outcomes of anatomic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using two anteromedial (AM) portals by comparing with short-term follow-up results. Materials and Methods Fifty patients who were treated by ACL reconstruction using a two AM portal technique were evaluated retrospectively. The follow-up period was at least 5 yea...

BACKGROUND The ideal treatment for patients presenting with bilateral anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency remains controversial. PURPOSE To evaluate cost and early functional results after bilateral ACL reconstruction at a single setting. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective review. METHODS Eleven patients (22 knees) who underwent bilateral ACL reconstruction at a single setting were compar...
