Management of Patients With Legg-Calvé-Perthes Disease at a Single Center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Background: Legg-Calvé-Perthes disease (LCPD) is an idiopathic pediatric hip disorder associated with avascular necrosis of the femoral head. Although there is no standardized and optimal treatment protocol for patients with LCPD, there are three primary treatment strategies: symptomatic treatment, nonsurgical containment using orthotic devices, and surgical containment.

Objective: This study aimed to describe the demographic characteristics, management and outcome of pediatric patients with LCPD at our center between 2005 and 2015.

Nonabsorbable Suture of a PCL Allograft Resulting in a Squeaking Knee After PCL Reconstruction: A Case Report.

Case: This case report describes the occurrence of a squeaking knee joint on active flexion-extension in a 35-year-old man who had previously undergone posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction surgery. The patient suffered from psychosocial distress because of the noise and complained of persistent left knee pain. After nonsurgical treatment failed to resolve the noise, arthroscopic surgery was performed to debride the interposed nonabsorbable suture located on the intra-articular surface, resulting in squeaking sound elimination.
