- Knee valgus and patellofemoral instability after pediatric anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: acase report and review of the literature. (stanfordchildrens.org)
- BACKGROUND: Pediatric athletes who undergo anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are at risk for a growth deformity if the surgery violates the physes.CASE: A 12-year-old African American boy underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using a hamstring autograft. (stanfordchildrens.org)
- He was able to return to sports after undergoing a distal femoral osteotomy to correct the valgus and medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction to stabilize the patella.CONCLUSION: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in athletes with open physes has the potential to cause distal femoral valgus deformity, an increased quadriceps angle, and subsequent patellofemoral instability.

- The anterior column consists of posterior longitudinal ligament and structures anterior to it [vertebral body and disc, anterior longitudinal ligament]. (boneandspine.com)
- Posterior column failure may be associated with concomitant injury to the anterior column. (boneandspine.com)
- The lower cervical spine that permits motion through intervertebral discs and facet joints and is limited by the anterior longitudinal ligament and posterior ligamentous complex. (boneandspine.com)
- The 2 ligaments (anterior & posterior) that cross inside of the knee joint, to stabilize the knee and control rotation. (anatechinc.com)
- Although thoracic OLF in young athletes who have underwent decompression surgery has been reported, the removal of posterior spinal bony elements and ligamentous complex may often cause postoperative thoracolumbar instability. (bvsalud.org)
- Conclusions: A navigation-assisted micro-window excision of thoracic OLF effectively preserved the spinal posterior bony elements and ligamentous complex. (bvsalud.org)
- We established a novel surgical technique that preserves the posterior spinal elements, including the spinous processes, facet joints, and supraspinous and interspinous ligaments for thoracic OLF. (bvsalud.org)
- The two ligaments (medial & lateral collateral) joining the femur to the tibia to stabilize the side-to-side movement of the knee. (anatechinc.com)
- The longstanding view has been that chronic tissue compression secondary to spinal canal narrowing, from degenerative (e.g. osteophytes, disc prolapse, ligament hypertrophy or calcification) and/or congenital changes, is the direct cause of the spinal cord injury in DCM [1]. (myelopathy.org)
- Collateral ligaments are also located at the metacarpal-phalangeal joint of the thumb, i.e.) ulnar collateral ligament. (anatechinc.com)
- Long bones are formed from a cartilage model precursor by endochondral ossification (see the image below) and can range in size from a phalanx to a femur. (medscape.com)
- Endochondral ossification of long bones through cartilage precursor. (medscape.com)
- It has been shown that there is endochondral ossification involved in both osteoarthritis and that occurs in normal aging . (heightquest.com)
- Thus, osteoclasts may be able to remove bone that is generated by endochondral ossification at a fast enough rate such that there is no net bone length increase. (heightquest.com)
- A way to test this is with osteoclast inhibitors however articular cartilage endochondral ossification is slow and osteoclasts are needed for many functions. (heightquest.com)
- And then see if articular cartilage endochondral ossification could make you taller. (heightquest.com)
- On examination, pain is felt on wrist movement and longitudinal compression of the thumb. (passmed.uk)
- An extremely important zone in human development, the epiphyseal plate is responsible for longitudinal growth of the skeleton and therefore one's height and stature. (medscape.com)
- As disk degeneration occurs, the uncinate process overrides and hypertrophies, compromising the ventrolateral portion of the foramen. (medscape.com)
- Ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, a condition often seen in certain Asian populations, can occur with cervical spondylosis. (medscape.com)
- Cervical canal stenosis (CCS), ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament, and disc herniation are the common causes of CSM. (ijssurgery.com)
- Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH/Forestier's disease) is a condition characterized by the calcification and ossification of the ligaments of the cervical spine, and the condition may be exclusive to this area of the spine [ 1 ] . (encyclopedia.pub)
- The treatment aims at expanding the spinal stenosis and removing the compression on the neural structures through anterior or posterior surgical approaches (2) . (jtss.org)
- The subjects of the research were divided into the following groups depending on the method of operation: Group 1 had anterior corpectomy plus fusion with a cage/bone graft, group 2 had posterior decompression with laminectomy plus fusion with a lateral mass screw, and group 3 had open-door laminoplasty. (jtss.org)
- Neck extension causes the ligaments to fold inward, reducing the anteroposterior (AP) diameter of the spinal canal. (medscape.com)
