Meniscal "Ramp" Lesions: Surgical Incidence and the Development of Magnetic Resonance Imaging Diagnostic Criteria.

Purpose: To establish the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and operative incidence of ramp lesions in a consecutive group of patients who had undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to propose a graded radiologic classification that seeks to define key preoperative features that most strongly correlate with arthroscopically confirmed ramp lesions.

Methods: After retrospective review, all consecutive patients who underwent ACLR with preoperative MRI over a 16-month period were included in the study. Diagnostic arthroscopy with direct visualization of the posteromedial compartment was used to establish the true incidence of ramp lesions.

The conservative management of renal trauma: a literature review and practical clinical guideline from Australia and New Zealand.

Objective: To review the literature and make practical recommendations regarding the conservative management of renal trauma.

Patients And Methods: Relevant articles and guidelines published between 1980 and 2014 were reviewed. Graded recommendations were constructed by a multi-disciplinary panel consisting of urologists, radiologists, and infectious disease physicians.
