Acute Treatment of Osteochondral Detachment Following Patellar Dislocation: Clinical and Short-Term MRI Follow-Up.

Background: The aim of our study is to emphasizes the significance of prompt diagnosis and intervention in younger patients affected by osteochondral detachment after patellar dislocation, where the first objective is to minimize in the shortest possible time complications and ingravescence. The method involves a clinical patient assessment and MRI follow-up in subjects who underwent to an immediate surgical intervention for osteochondral damage.

Methods: From January 2020 to December 2022, 22 patellar dislocation cases were assessed; osteochondral lesions were identified in 12 (54%) patients; nine of these patients were treated immediately with knee arthroscopy, while in seven instances the osteochondral fragment was reattached using bioabsorbable pins.

Maisonneuve fracture treated with suture-button system stabilization combined with plate and arthroscopic assistance (SBPAA): Clinical and radiological evaluation in short-medium period.

Unlabelled: The aim of this study was to estimate the time needed for patients with Maisonneuve fractures to return to routine activities, after treatment with a suture-button system stabilization combined with plate and arthroscopic assistance (SBPAA).

Methods: The study included 13 patients treated at our surgical department from January 2018 to June2022. Specific radiographical follow-up and periodic checks were performed in a short -to-medium term period, to evaluate syndesmosis evolution and tibiofibular overlap with medial clear space (MCS).

Mid-term clinical and radiographic outcome of metal-on-metal hip resurfacing through an anterolateral approach.

Purpose: The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the medium-term clinical and radiographic results of current generation metal-on-metal resurfacing prostheses performed through anterolateral approach.

Materials And Methods: Fifty-seven hips in 52 patients underwent resurfacing arthroplasty. Two patients died from unrelated causes, leaving 55 hips in 35 males (3 bilateral) and 15 females (2 bilateral), with a mean age at surgery of 56.

Treatment of Achilles insertional tendinopathy: our surgical procedure and medium-term results.

Background And Aim: Achilles insertional tendinopathy (AIT) is a common injury and its pathogenesis is still not entirely clear. It manifests with worsening pain and functional limitations. When conservative treatment fails, surgical treatment is indicated.
