Coronal deformity of the knee in childrens and adolescents. A systematic review of current orthopaedics treatments.

Objectives: Coronal deformities of the knee in skeletally immature patients are often physiological and resolve spontaneously. When this is not the case a surgical correction is required. As limited data are available on the effectiveness of the different surgical procedures to correct coronal deformities in skeletal immature patients, a systematic review was conducted to analyse the surgical outcomes, complications and recurrent deformity rate in idiopathic and pathologic coronal deformities.

The Prevalence of Chronic Interosseous Membrane Lesions Following Mason II and III Radial Head Fractures in Complex Elbow Instability-A Retrospective Observational Cohort Study.

Purpose: The primary aim of the present study was to assess the prevalence of chronic lesions of the central band of the interosseous membrane (cbIOM) in complex elbow instability (CEI) in a consecutive series of patients who had previously undergone surgical treatment for Mason II and III radial head (RH) fractures. The secondary aim was to define its clinical significance.

Methods: We performed a retrospective study on a prospective database.

Higher rates of fully preserved posterior cruciate ligament in total knee arthroplasty using a double tibial cut: a prospective randomized controlled trial.

Purpose: In cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty, posterior cruciate ligament damage may occur during tibial cutting. A prospective randomized study was conducted to investigate whether a novel tibial cutting technique was more effective than the currently used techniques.

Materials And Methods: Patients undergoing cruciate retaining total knee arthroplasty were recruited in a prospective, randomized, controlled trial.

Assessment of progression and clinical relevance of stress-shielding around press-fit radial head arthroplasty.

Aims: The aim of this study was to analyze how proximal radial neck resorption (PRNR) starts and progresses radiologically in two types of press-fit radial head arthroplasties (RHAs), and to investigate its clinical relevance.

Methods: A total of 97 patients with RHA were analyzed: 56 received a bipolar RHA (Group 1) while 41 received an anatomical implant (Group 2). Radiographs were performed postoperatively and after three, six, nine, and 12 weeks, six, nine, 12, 18, and 24 months, and annually thereafter.

Pelvic ring reconstruction with tibial allograft, screws and rods following enneking type I and IV resection of primary bone tumors.

Introduction: Surgery of primary malignant tumors involving the sacroiliac joint requires wide resection, which often interrupts the pelvic ring. Nowadays, restoration of the pelvic ring to provide stability and which technique is most fitting remain subject to debate. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of pelvic reconstruction with pedicle screw instrumentation and tibial allograft following Enneking Type I-IV resections.
