Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.Abstract Turf toe is a hallux metatarsophalangeal joint (MTPJ) injury seen in sports like football and soccer where the foot experiences axial load while fixed to the ground with the great toe hyperextended at the MTPJ. Depending on severity, turf toe can be quite devastating in athletes and can require operative intervention.

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.Abstract Isolated avulsions of the distal biceps femoris are infrequent; however, they often occur in combination with other injuries to the posterolateral corner of the knee including the lateral collateral ligament (LCL). We describe a technique for LCL reconstruction with semitendinosus allograft through a bone tunnel in the fibula, followed by ...

Knee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.Abstract Purpose This study aimed to examine the effects of lateral meniscus (LM) centralization on anterolateral rotational stability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and LM injuries. The hypothesis was that performing LM repair and centralization on knees with LM lesions would control anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI ...

Artificial muscle: facts and fiction
Swiss Medical Weekly, 2011 Mechanical devices are sought to support insufficient or paralysed striated muscles including the failing heart. Nickel-titanium alloys (nitinol) present the following two properties: (i) super-elasticity, and (ii) the potential to assume different
