Patellofemoral functional outcome of gracilis sparing compared to gracilis sacrificing ACL reconstruction.

Introduction: The hamstring is the most popular autograft used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Despite its excellent outcome, donor site morbidity is also irritating. Patellofemoral problems are reported to be one of the side effects after hamstring autograft harvesting, suggested to be due to both gracilis & semitendinosus sacrificing.

The outcome of Sauve Kapandji procedure on patient with DRUJ arthritis: A case report.

Background: The distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) is frequently involved in inflammatory diseases, both de-generative and notably traumatic, resulting in pain, wrist motion and strength loss, and severe functional impairment. DRUJ dysfunction can be highly incapacitating. The Sauve-Kapandji (SK) procedure can be indicated to address multiple etiologies of DRUJ dysfunction.
