Many complications have been reported during or after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, including infection, bleeding, tibial tunnel widening, arthrofibrosis, and graft failure. However, arterial injury has been rarely reported. This paper reports a case of an anterior tibial arterial injury during bicortical tibial drilling in arthroscopic ACL reconstruction, associated with an ...

BACKGROUND Lower tibial bone fracture may easily cause bone delayed union or nonunion because of lacking of dynamic mechanical load. OBJECTIVE Research Group would design a new instrument as Rap System of Stress Stimulation (RSSS) to provide dynamic mechanical load which would promote lower tibial bone union postoperatively. METHODS This clinical research was conducted from January 2008 to ...

The mechanical properties of muscle are shown to have a significant influence on the duration of the silent period in the soleus EMG. In contrast to this, the mechanical events have no influence on the duration of the reciprocal inhibition of the anterior tibial muscle. However, a second, delayed cessation of the EMG activity in the anterior tibial muscle is due to mechanical events.

PURPOSE To compare 2 methods of fixation for maintenance of alignment during healing of valgus tibial osteotomies. METHODS We performed a retrospective chart and radiographic review of valgus tibial osteotomy cases of staple fixation supplemented by a postoperative cast and of blade plate fixation for maintenance of femoral-tibial alignment during healing of the osteotomy. RESULTS Both grou...

The tibial shaft is the most common location of stress fractures in athletes. Tibial stress fractures are divided into 2 groups, anterior and posterior, based on location. Posterior tibial cortex fractures are more common and respond well to conservative treatment. Fractures in the anterior cortex are less common, accounting for only 4.6% of stress fractures, and they often heal poorly because ...

Serial somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to median and posterior tibial nerve stimulation in a case with familial heterozygous hypobetalipoproteinemia and vitamin E deficiency were investigated over a period of 4 years. In serial SEPs to posterior tibial nerve stimulation, interpeak latencies between N20 and P2 were delayed even in the early clinical stage, although the peak latency of N20...

This study aims to investigate the effect of early and delayed injury minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis on the treatment of distal tibial metaphyseal comminuted fracture. This study involved 90 patients with distal tibial metaphyseal comminuted fractures for treatment of minimally invasive percutaneous plate osteosynthesis between February 2012 and October 2014 in our hospita...
