Simultaneous High Tibial Osteotomy and Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction in knees with Bony Frontal and/or Sagittal Deformities: Review of the Current Literature.

Simultaneous anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) and valgus high tibial osteotomy (HTO) alleviates pain in 70% of individuals with ACL deficiency and varus femorotibial osteoarthritis, allows for sustainable stabilization of the knee at the 10-year follow-up and a return to sport (RTS) in 33%-80% of cases, but femorotibial osteoarthritis progression occurs in 39% of cases. The complication rate ranges from 0% to 23.5% (6.

The impact of Parkinson's disease on results of primary total knee arthroplasty.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder. When patients with PD undergo total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for knee osteoarthritis, poorer knee function and poorer quality of life are obtained than in matched cohorts (MCs). However, the degree of patient satisfaction is usually high.

Comparative CT Study on Syndesmosis Mobility after Static or Dynamic Fixation for Ankle Fractures with Syndesmotic Rupture: A Pilot Study.

Background: The objective of this prospective randomized pilot study is to compare, by computed tomography (CT), the mobility of syndesmosis after static fixation (SF) or dynamic fixation (DF) in ankle fractures with syndesmotic rupture (AFSR) in adults, and to compare this mobility with that of healthy ankles.

Methods: Forty-two patients with an AFSR were randomized to 2 groups: SF (N=21) or DF (N=21). Seven patients were lost to follow-up.

SARS-CoV-2 outbreak impact on a trauma unit.

Background: From February 2020 onwards, our country has been hit by the coronavirus severe acute respiratory syndrome-2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. At a glance, hospitals became overrun and had to reformulate all the assistance guidelines, focusing on the coronavirus disease 2019. One year after the start of the pandemic, we present the results of a morbimortality study.
