Single-incision chronic distal biceps tendon repair with tibialis anterior allograft.

Purpose: Several techniques for chronic distal biceps tendon repair have been reported; however, the literature is sparse.

Methods: Seven male patients who underwent chronic distal biceps tendon reconstruction were retrospectively evaluated. All patients had significant retraction necessitating the use of an allograft for reconstruction.

Complication rates after total ankle arthroplasty in one hundred consecutive prostheses.

Introduction: Total ankle arthroplasty is increasingly used as an alternative to arthrodesis to treat advanced ankle arthritis. However, the outcomes and postoperative complications are poorly described.

Patients And Methods: Between March 2005 and May 2010 114 S.

Characterization of the orientation and isometry of Humphrey's ligament.

Objectives/purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of flexion angle on isometry and fiber obliquity of the anterior meniscofemoral ligament (Humphrey's ligament (HL)).

Methods: Following a medial parapatellar arthrotomy on 7 fresh frozen cadavers, the insertion points of the anterolateral (AL) and posteromedial (PM) bundles of the PCL, and HL were identified. Using a 9mm circular software tool, virtual fibers were created.

Eleven-year results of the anatomic coated CFP stem in primary total hip arthroplasty.

There is a paucity of intermediate term results relating to short stem prostheses. The current study represents the longest follow-up results of the CFP prosthesis to the authors' best knowledge. Between January 1999 and December 2000, all total hip arthroplasty patients (n = 149), treated with this anatomic neck preserving stem in the authors' institution were enrolled in this study.

Long-term survivorship of a unicondylar knee replacement--a case report.

Unicondylar knee arthroplasty (UKA) was introduced in the 1970s as a treatment option for isolated knee compartment gonarthrosis. Early results were discouraging secondary to poor patient selection, suboptimal surgical technique, and inferior prosthetic design. In recent years, there has been resurgence in the use of the UKA.
