Rate of Suture Material Absorption Does Not Impact Short Term Outcome of Tubularized Incised Plate Repair of Distal Penile Hypospadias in Children: A Randomized Controlled Study [PDF]

Pediatric Sciences Journal
Background: There is an agreement on the use of absorbable sutures for urethroplasty of distal penile hypospadias (DPH) repair in children. Early absorbable sutures may cause less tissue reaction, less stricture formation but increase the risk of fistula

Comparison of MMP1 gene expression and collagen percentage in response to polydioxanone, poly-L-lactic acid and polycaprolactone thread implantation in ageing rat skin [PDF]

Scripta Medica
Background/Aim: Photoageing causes collagen degradation, leading to sagging skin, increased wrinkles and rough surfaces as signs of skin ageing. UV-B radiation increases reactive oxygen species (ROS) production, affecting the mitogen-activated protein ...

Healing Integrity Determines Meniscal Extrusion After Isolated Medial Meniscus Posterior Root Repair in Knees With No Lower Limb Malalignment

Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Purpose To investigate changes in meniscal extrusion and meniscal healing status following root repair, and the relationship between meniscal extrusion and healing conditions. Methods Patients who underwent isolated root repair between 2019 and 2023 and consented to undergo second‐look arthroscopy to evaluate their healing condition (1 year ...

Arthroscopic Three Hybrid Anchor Construct Fixation in Skeletally Immature Patients With Tibial Eminence Fractures

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract This article describes a surgical technique for skeletally immature patients with tibial eminence fractures of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) insertion. Owing to the distinct anatomical characteristics in skeletally immature patients compared with adults, we arthroscopically implanted a three hybrid anchor construct into the posterior ...

Arthroscopic Repair of Radial Meniscal Tear Using Fibrin Clot Augmentation and “Hashtag” Style Inside‐Out Technique

Arthroscopy Techniques, EarlyView.
Abstract Significant meniscal injuries lead to pain and possible early osteoarthritis development. Fibrin clot augmentation represents an effective, cost‐efficient method for improving healing rates in poorly vascularized meniscal tears. This arthroscopic technique shows fibrin clot augmentation combined with horizontal and vertical mattress sutures in
