  • The disconnect between computational studies of biomechanics of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) at the whole joint level and those focused on the interface level between the implants and the surrounding bone hinders our understanding of TKA function as a whole and prevents identifying tradeoffs between these levels. (hss.edu)
  • We found that the FSC can create deleterious changes in wrist posture while the new window approach does not alter the posture and should be considered when performing ligament repair. (hss.edu)
  • The methods of surgical repair may be categorized into 3 groups: primary repair, extra-articular repair, and intra-articular repair. (medscape.com)

  • Both the position in which a sports medicine surgeon places an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft within the anatomic femoral footprint of the native ACL and the flexion angle at which the graft is fixed are important considerations in ACL reconstruction surgery. (hss.edu)
  • When the fibro-osseous sheath is ruptured and deemed irreparable, reconstruction is accomplished utilizing a retinacular sling or free retinacular graft (see Techniques box). (dnahelix.com)
  • If nonreconstructable, a sheath reconstruction with retinacular free graft or retinacular sling is employed. (dnahelix.com)
  • A sheath reconstruction with retinacular free graft or retinacular sling is recommended. (dnahelix.com)

(dnahelix.com)
  • In our continuing development of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) implants to treat cartilage defects in the early stages of osteoarthritis, we measured how PVA implants affect load transfer across the knee joint during gait. (hss.edu)
  • We showed that grafts placed high within the femoral footprint and fixed at a lower flexion angle carried less force as the knee was flexed compared to grafts placed lower within the femoral footprint and fixed at a higher flexion angle, which could extend the useful life of the reconstruction. (hss.edu)

  • A large PTSA may increases risk of anterior cruciate ligament injury, so patients with more than 12 degrees of PTSA should be treated by preserving meniscus as much as possible during ACL reconstruction and combining with tibial osteotomy if necessary, which could effectively prevent risk of ligament re-injury. (bvsalud.org)
  • These indications are not strict, as knee laxity, malalignment or cartilage defect can be addressed with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, osteotomy or cartilage treatment at the same time as the meniscal substitution. (aspetar.com)
  • Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is complicated by high failure rates in young active individuals. (nih.gov)
  • Failure of ACLR is associated with limited activity, reduced quality of life, increased socioeconomic costs and higher rates of osteoarthritis (OA). (nih.gov)
  • Both meniscal scaffolds (MS) and MAT are basically indicated in symptomatic patients after meniscectomy who usually present a knee with pain, swelling and reduction in function. (aspetar.com)
  • Posterior tibial slope angle (PTSA) is a risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and has attracted a lot of attention, but its mechanism of action and diagnosis are still not systematically studied in the field of sports medicine. (bvsalud.org)

  • This treatment requires a stable knee, normal alignment (not varus or valgus alignment) of the lower limb and a low grade of cartilage degeneration (less than grade III in Outerbridge scale). (aspetar.com)
  • CONCLUSIONS: The bone tunnels were found to be distributed in and beyond the normal range using the bone landmark method to position the femoral tunnel in the single-bundle anatomical reconstruction of ACL, while the rate of good bone tunnel position was low. (bvsalud.org)
  • Arthroscopy is used to perform meniscal surgery, ACL/PCL reconstruction, treat infections, perform biopsy and manage cartilage damage. (orthosportclinic.org)
  • Due to symptoms like pain, swelling and sudden knee blocks (especially in the case of displaced 'bucket handle' tears), it is quite impossible for those suffering a meniscal tear to perform any sport activity. (aspetar.com)
  • Today the meniscal integrity is well-known to be crucial in the knee health 3,4 . (aspetar.com)
  • In fact, many studies outline that even partial meniscal removal triggers the start of degenerative changes that can lead to the development of knee osteoarthritis 5 after 10 or more years. (aspetar.com)
  • Patients undergoing knee surgery are at high risk for deep vein thrombosis (DVT), which is infrequent but potentially life-threatening. (springeropen.com)
  • Arthroscopy is a keyhole surgery where a tiny telescope is inserted into the knee joint. (orthosportclinic.org)

  • ACL-MD usually presents in individuals over 40 years with sudden-onset knee pain after minimal trauma or as an incidental MRI finding. (bvsalud.org)
  • We present a case of ACL-MD in a previously healthy adult in his early 20s who presented with 3-month recalcitrant dull left knee pain and limited range of motion after 'stepping funny' with slight twisting. (bvsalud.org)
  • This leads to pain, swelling and locking of the knee. (orthosportclinic.org)
  • The knee has 4 main ligaments - ACL, PCL, MCL and LCL. (orthosportclinic.org)
  • The main role of the menisci is to weight bear, absorbing the pressure that otherwise would charge the soft articular cartilage, which is not structured to be loaded by the entire body-weight. (aspetar.com)
  • Because the ACL is intra-articular, the ligamentous ends are subjected to synovial fluid, which does not support ligamentous healing. (medscape.com)
  • Arthroscopy may also be considered for persons who are poor candidates for reconstruction but have a mechanical block to range of motion. (medscape.com)
  • This is caused by an altered biomechanical environment established after the removal that will lead to damage of the articular cartilage and, eventually, to osteoarthritis. (aspetar.com)
