Modified Transtibial Pullout Repair for Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Tear Using a Barbed Suture: A Technical Note

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract This technical note describes a modified transtibial pullout repair for medial meniscus posterior root tear incorporating a barbed suture to improve fixation strength and load distribution. The technique combines 2 simple sutures placed near the torn root with a circumferential barbed suture passed through the posteromedial meniscocapsular ...

Tourniquet use following blast-associated complex lower limb injury and traumatic amputation promotes end organ dysfunction and amplified heterotopic ossification formation

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery and Research, 2022
Background Traumatic heterotopic ossification (tHO) is characterized by ectopic bone formation in extra-skeletal sites leading to impaired wound healing, entrapment of neurovascular structures, pain, and reduced range of motion. HO has become a signature

Autologous Iliac Crest Bone Graft After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Failure in Patients With Both Femoral and Tibial Tunnel Enlargement

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Tunnel enlargement is a common challenge in revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and compromises graft fixation and biological integration. Traditional 2‐stage revision procedures prolong treatment duration and increase patient morbidity.

Medial Patellofemoral and Medial Patellotibial Ligament Reconstruction Using a Docked Rectus Femoris Graft

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Recurrent patellar instability may persist after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, particularly in cases with instability beyond early knee flexion. Recent evidence has emphasized the role of the medial patellotibial ligament as a secondary stabilizer contributing to patellofemoral stability at higher degrees of flexion ...

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction With Hamstring Autograft Augmented With a Reinforced Bioinductive Scaffold

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Combined anterior cruciate ligament and anterolateral ligament reconstruction is indicated for patients with anterior cruciate ligament rupture and preoperative rotatory instability. In smaller patients, the smaller graft diameter and shorter lengths of the gracilis and semitendinosus graft may not be sufficient for performing a combined ...
