Purpose: This study sought to compare the strength of quadrupled hamstring tendon (QHT) grafts of 6 to 9.5 mm in clinical diameter with that of 10-mm bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) grafts.
Methods: Twenty cadaveric semitendinosus and gracilis tendons were combined into QHT grafts.
Background: Shoulder instability can cause both soft tissue injury and bone defects, requiring both computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for a thorough workup, which results in high patient costs and radiation exposure. Prior studies in cadaveric and nonclinical models have shown promise in assessing preoperative bone loss utilizing MRI.
Purpose: To evaluate the utility of MRI in detecting and evaluating glenoid bone defects in a clinical setting.
This case report describes an irreducible posterolateral knee dislocation with a bone avulsion of the medial epicondyle attached to the medial collateral ligament and adductor magnus tendon entrapped within the joint space.
