Using a Y-Shaped Artificial Ligament for Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction in Multiligament Knee Injuries: A Surgical Technique. [PDF]
Abstract In multiligament knee injuries, reconstruction of the posterolateral corner is essential for restoring varus and rotational stability of the knee. Autografts and allografts are the current mainstays for posterolateral corner reconstruction; however, their use is associated with inherent limitations, including graft availability, insufficient ...

Policy-Evidence Misalignment in Commercial Payer Coverage Criteria for Knee Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation. [PDF]
Purpose To evaluate how major United States commercial insurers justify medical‐necessity criteria for knee osteochondral allograft (OCA) transplantation, characterize the level of evidence (LOE) cited within their policies, and assess whether coverage criteria are supported by the cited literature.

Abstract Nineteenth century excavations of the Ciply‐Malogne Phosphatic Chalk Formation in Hainaut, Belgium, yielded over 50 partial mosasaur skeletons, the majority of which were referred to the species Mosasaurus lemonnieri Dollo, 1889. In the years since, this taxon has experienced a complicated taxonomic history, and its exceptional hypodigm has ...

Arthroscopic Technique for Anterior Calcaneal Process Avulsion Fractures and Bifurcate Ligament Injuries Using Suture Tape Augmentation. [PDF]
Abstract Avulsion fractures of the anterior process of the calcaneus are frequently associated with injury to the bifurcate ligament and may result in persistent lateral midfoot pain and instability. Although open fixation or fragment excision has traditionally been used, these approaches may fail to restore ligamentous function and joint stability ...

Abstract Sauropod dinosaurs achieved unprecedented terrestrial gigantism, raising questions about the biomechanical limits of bone under extreme gravitational loads. We estimated static gravitational pressures (Pg) on appendicular cortical bone in neosauropods, including diplodocoids, brachiosaurids, and titanosaurs.

Laryngeal branches of the recurrent laryngeal nerve: A narrative review of human anatomical studies
Abstract The recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) provides motor innervation to all intrinsic laryngeal muscles except the cricothyroid. Detailed knowledge of its terminal branching is essential for thyroid, laryngeal, and voice surgeons. This review synthesizes existing human cadaveric and surgical descriptions of the extralaryngeal and motor branching of ...
