Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are common sports-related injuries. Their incidence is not the same either for all the sports or for the same sport across various nations. This information is maintained by many sports leagues in their registries.

Humoral hypercalcemia from a benign tumour is a rare clinical entity and pleomorphic adenoma as its source has never been reported in the literature. We present the case of a 53-year-old gentleman with a pleomorphic parotid gland adenoma and pseudoarthrosis non-union of the proximal humerus exacerbated by symptomatic parathormone-independent hypercalcemia.

This study was carried out to know the incidence of ramp lesions in ACL injured patients and to study the characteristics of these patients in our population.
Methods: Seventy-five patients who underwent ACL reconstruction from January 2021 to December 2021 were prospectively studied.
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone is a benign, aggressive tumor of bone and occurs commonly around the knee and distal radius. GCT of bone rarely occurs in hand. In hand, metacarpals are the most common site and there have been only a few case reports of GCT of the carpal bone.

The anteromedial (AM) portal technique necessitates knee hyperflexion during the femoral tunnel reaming. In a hyperflexed knee, the arthroscopic visualization of the laser markings on the femoral tunnel reamer becomes obscured.

There are no uniform guidelines for treatment of GCT involving metacarpals due to lack of relevant literature.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: One of the complications of arthroscopic reconstruction of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using hamstring autograft is injury to the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve (IPBSN) leading to loss of sensation around the knee. Its incidence varies according to the orientation of incision for hamstring graft harvest, with oblique incision having the lowest chance of this injury. Aim of this study was to assess clinically and electrophysiologically injury to IPBSN after ACL reconstruction using oblique incision for hamstring graft harvest.
