Pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets of trichorhinophalangeal syndrome; lessons obtained from animal studies

Developmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Trichorhinophalangeal syndrome (TRPS) is a rare genetic disease inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. It occurs in 1 in 100,000 people globally and is caused by several types of mutations of the TRPS1 gene. Since the first human patient was reported in 1966, typical and atypical pathologies, disease courses, and treatment case ...

Through-tunnel reconstruction with Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System (LARS) for managing post-arthroplasty patellofemoral instability

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders
Background Despite advancements in prosthetic designs and surgical techniques, patellar dislocation remains a rare but significant complication following total knee arthroplasty, with an incidence ranging between 0.15% and 0.5%.

In Vitro Evaluation of Hemiarthroplasty Bearing Materials: A Scoping Review (Part I)

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Hemiarthroplasty is used to treat joint damage confined to one side, aiming to preserve the remaining healthy cartilage and bone while addressing conditions like femur fractures and osteonecrosis; however, challenges persist due to cartilage wear and inconsistent clinical outcomes.

Rehabilitation following first-time patellar dislocation: a randomised controlled trial of purported vastus medialis obliquus muscle versus general quadriceps strengthening exercises. [PDF]

, 2015
Purpose: Define whether distal vastus medialis (VM) muscle strengthening improves functional outcomes compared to general quadriceps muscles strengthening following first-time patellar dislocation (FTPD). Methods: Fifty patients post-FTPD were randomised

MEDIAL PATELLOFEMORAL LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION: A COMPREHENSIVE REVIEW. [PDF]

International Journal of Advanced Research, 2018
In the majority of patellar dislocation cases, the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is disrupted with a high recurrence rate especially in female patients. Although MPFL tear is not the primary cause of instability, MPFL reconstruction is effective for stabilizing the knee and may alone prevent lateral patellar dislocation.

Enhanced Mid‐Flexion Stability in Cruciate‐Sacrificing Total Knee Replacement: Impact of Optimized Implant Designs Investigated Using Musculoskeletal Multibody Simulation

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Total knee replacement (TKR) is a successful intervention for relieving pain and improving quality of life. In this context, mid‐flexion instability and paradoxical anterior femoral movement remain challenging. However, the role of implant design in cruciate‐sacrificing (CS) scenarios is unclear.

Combined Reconstruction of the Medial Patellofemoral Ligament and Medial Quadriceps Tendon–Femoral Ligament

Arthroscopy Techniques, 2021
Most patellar dislocations are associated with disruption of the proximal medial patellar restraints (PMPRs). The PMPRs comprise the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament (MQTFL). Although isolated MPFL reconstruction is the most frequently performed procedure for the surgical management of recurrent ...

Preserving Patient‐Specific Knee Motion: A Randomized Clinical Trial of Unicompartmental and Total Knee Arthroplasty

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) may enable improved functional outcomes compared to total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This randomized controlled trial assessed pre‐ and postoperative patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) and knee joint gait biomechanics for UKA and TKA patients.
