Background: Meniscus tear is a common finding in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and may affectthe natural history of the injury and the outcomes of treatment. In the current study, the characteristics of meniscus tearsin patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction were investigated.Methods: The hospital records of 1022 patients were reviewed. ...

The identification of meniscal ramp lesions can be quite difficult or even impossible with conventional anterior arthroscopic viewing and working portals. Although even the use of transnotch viewing maneuvers into the posteromedial compartment increases the likelihood of diagnosis, it is the posteromedial and trans-septal portals that provide the best direct visualization of these many times "h...

The relationship of sinusoidal smooth pursuit defects to pursuit defects with step-ramp targets in patients with cerebral lesions is unclear. We examined pursuit and saccades to both step-ramp and sinusoidal targets in 17 patients with unilateral cerebral lesions. Two types of pursuit defects were found. One group of three patients had ipsi-directional sinusoidal pursuit defects from lesions to...

Background: Ramp lesions are longitudinal of the meniscocapsular complex posterior horn medial meniscus. These poorly recognized, difficult to diagnose, and require specific arthroscopic exploration. typically associated with anterior cruciate ligament rupture have important biomechanical consequences as they result in increased tibial translation external rotation. Suture hook repair through p...

Meniscal ramp lesions are more frequently associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries than previously recognized. Some authors suggest that this entity results from disruption of the meniscotibial ligaments of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus, whereas others support the idea that it is created by a tear of the peripheral attachment of the posterior horn of the medial meni...

This paper aims to evaluate and compare the effects of different methods of ramp metering on the operational conditions of traffic flow at three levels: the network level (including the freeway and its connected ramps), the entrance ramp, and the upstream segment of the entrance. To achieve this aim, one of the most important urban freeways in the metropolis of Isfahan was selected. The traffic...

Meniscal lesions of the posterior horn of medial meniscus (MM) are very often associated with an ACL rupture (16,32,49). Certain specific lesions of the Medial Meniscus (MM) such as meniscosynovial or meniscocapsular tears and meniscotibial ligament lesions are associated with 9 to 17% of ACL Tears (8,21) and are seldom recognized on preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans (8,38). T...
