MRI evaluation of ATFL and CFL ligamentization after anatomical surgical reconstruction with a hamstring graft.

Background: Chronic ankle instability is frequent complication following ankle sprains. Anatomical reconstruction of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) and the calcaneofibular ligament (CFL) with a gracilis autograft is a validated reconstruction technique. The signal-to-noise quotient ankle (SNQA) score evaluates graft maturation with MRI and has been shown to be reproducible and reliable.

Adaptation of the Signal Noise Quotient MRI classification for graft ligamentization analysis following ATFL and CFL anatomical reconstruction: Validation of the SNQA.

Background: Chronic ankle instability is the most frequent clinical sign of an antero tibiofibular (ATFL) and/or calcaneo fibular ligament (CFL) tear. One common surgical technique is to use the distal tendon of the gracilis muscle to reconstruct both the ATFL and CFL. In the knee, the hamstring tendons used in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction may go through structural modifications called "ligamentization ".

Risk factors for passive anterior tibial subluxation on MRI in complete ACL tear.

Introduction: In anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear, passive spontaneous anterior tibial subluxation (ATS), with respect to the femur, is sometimes observed on MRI. In a case-control study, ATS>3.5mm showed 100% specificity (±3.

Autologous Conditioned Plasma for tendon healing following arthroscopic rotator cuff repair. Prospective comparative assessment with magnetic resonance arthrography at 6 months' follow-up.

Introduction: Despite improvements in technique and materials for rotator cuff repair, mean re-tear rates remain close to 30%. The aim of the present study was to assess injection of Autologous Conditioned Plasma (ACP™, Arthrex) for tendon healing after arthroscopic repair. The study hypothesis was that ACP™ improves the tendon-healing rate.
