Introduction: Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament [ACL] reconstruction is very commonly done procedure in recent times {1}. The graft fixation methods vary from aperture fixation [Interference screws] to suspensory fixation methods [Endobutton]. This is a Prospective non randomised clinical study of arthroscopic ACL reconstruction comparing the functional results between aperture fixation a...

conclusions simultaneous arthroscopic acl and pcl reconstructions using hamstring tendon for combined acl and pcl injuries is a clinically effective, safe, time saving and cost-effective procedure with better patient compliance and reproducible for a timely return of motion, strength, and function with favorable outcome. background multiligamentous injuries of knee are a complex problem in orth...

Background: Rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common injuries in patients referred to the emergency and orthopedic clinics. Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACLR) is one of the knee surgery methods used nowadays. Objectives: This study aimed to compare the results of the ACLR with the hamstring tendon using all-inside and outside-in techniques. ...

PURPOSE To evaluate the restoration of the flexor power and the correlation between the flexor power and functional performance tests (FPTs) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with hamstring autograft. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-three men, who underwent ACL reconstruction with hamstring autograft, were evaluated using Lysholm, Subjective IKDC, Tegner activity score, isoki...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In skeletally immature patients, surgical options due to recurrent patella dislocation are limited, because bony procedures bear the risk of growth disturbances. In this retrospective study, we report the long-term functional and radiographic outcome in skeletally immature patients using the modified Grammont surgical technique. PATIENTS Between 1999 and 2004, 65 skelet...

BACKGROUND The RapidLoc is an all-inside, self-adjusting, flexible meniscal repair device that combines a suture with an anchor component and, by using a reinforced sliding knot, allows for tightening to compress and hold the repaired meniscal segments. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical success of the RapidLoc device. METHODS A prospective consecutive series of meniscal r...

INTRODUCTION The role of surgery for acute patellar dislocation without osteochondral fracture is controversial. The aim of this study was to report the short-term results of management of patellar dislocation in our institute. METHODS Patients who were seen in our institution with patella dislocation from January 2011 to April 2014 were managed according to a standardised management algorith...

Delayed rather than early reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is the current recommended treatment for injury to this ligament since it is thought to give a better functional outcome. We randomised 105 consecutive patients with injury associated with chondral lesions no more severe than grades 1 and 2 and/or meniscal tears which only required trimming, to early (< two weeks) or del...

OBJECTIVES To perform a literature review and meta-analysis evaluating the effectiveness of medial and lateral meniscus allograft transplantation (MAT). METHODS The literature review and meta-analysis were conducted between August and October 2015 in the People's Hospital of China Three Gorges University, Yi Chang, China. A systematic search was performed in the Medline and EMBASE databases, ...

background:  parts of the implants placed over the meniscus during meniscal repair can wear down the cartilage in the contact zones and cause chronic synovitis. placing horizontal sutures under the meniscus may overcome this potential hazard. the purpose of this prospective study was to evaluate the midterm results of arthroscopic meniscal repair using submeniscally placed out-in horizontal sut...
