The Italian version of the Majeed pelvic score: translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation.

Purpose: The assessment of functional outcomes after pelvic ring fracture remains a controversial topic. The Majeed pelvic score (MPS) is the most commonly used pelvic-specific questionnaire in the literature. The aim of this study is translation, cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the Italian version of MPS.

Case report: unusual posteromedial capsular lesion with posterior lateral meniscus root tear in two patients with constitutional genu recurvatum presenting after an acute ACL injury.

Ramp lesions of the medial meniscus and posterior lateral meniscus root tears (LMPRT) can be present simultaneously in up to 8% of patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The prevalence of these complex and highly unstable meniscal tears increases exponentially with the severity of the injury. The posteromedial capsule (PMC) has often been disregarded in the past when discussing ligamentous and meniscal injuries, but the recent interest in ramp lesions has drawn surgeons' attention to the posteromedial structures of the ACL injured knee.

A systematic approach to managing complications after proximal tibial osteotomies of the knee.

Proximal tibial osteotomy (PTO) is an effective procedure for active and young adult patients with symptomatic unicompartmental osteoarthritis and malalignment. They were considered technically demanding and prone to various complications related to the surgical technique, biomechanical or biological origin. Among the most important are hinge fractures and delayed or non-healing, neurovascular complications, loss of correction, implant-related problems, patellofemoral complaints, biological complications and changes in limb length.

Meniscal Ramp Repair: Double-Row Anatomic Repair in Acute Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tears.

The surgical management of medial meniscus ramp lesions can be challenging. Currently, repairs are performed via a trans-notch view, combined with a single posteromedial working portal. This technique, however, does not allow for a direct and complete visualization of the structures being injured, making a precise appreciation of the injured structures, as well as an anatomical repair, difficult.

Implant retention with serial debridement and use of antibiotic-loaded calcium sulfate beads in acute fracture-related infection (FRI) after pelvic ring or acetabular fractures: A retrospective case series of 7 cases.

Background: The development of a pelvic wound infection in the presence of hardware after open reduction and internal fixation presents a clinical dilemma and there is little literature to aid in decision-making. The purpose of this study was to describe the possibility of debridement, antibiotic pearls and retention of the implant (DAPRI) procedure to eradicate the infection.

Methods: Tumor-like debridement, antibiotic pearls and retention of the implant (DAPRI) aimed to remove the biofilm allowing a higher and prolonged local antibiotic concentration by using calcium sulfate antibiotic-added beads.
