Clinical and Functional Results Following Posterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in Young Patients.

Introduction:  Posterior cruciate ligament injuries are uncommon, and their management is controversial. However, surgical reconstruction is necessary in case of symptomatic lesions. The present study aimed to analyse patients' reported outcomes and clinical evaluation after isolated posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Outcome of distal clavicular fracture separations and dislocations in immature skeleton.

Background: There are only a few studies with long-term follow-up of distal clavicular injuries in children and their treatment is not clearly defined. The purpose of our study is to suggest a new classification system according to the fracture pattern and the degree of the displacement, to evaluate the long-term follow-up and also to propose an algorithm for treatment.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study from 1983 to 2008.
