Article Synopsis
- Patellar tendinopathy (PT), also known as jumper's knee, is a common overuse injury observed in both professional and recreational athletes, particularly in jumping sports and characterized by gradual pain in the patellar tendon.
- * Diagnosis mainly relies on clinical assessments, although imaging can aid in the process, and risk factors for developing PT can vary based on sex, sport, and playing conditions.
- * Treatment options are mostly non-surgical, including exercises and injections; however, if these fail, surgery may be considered, but there's no conclusive evidence on the best surgical approach, highlighting the need for improved prevention and treatment strategies.
Purpose: This is a retrospective cohort study of type C distal humeral fractures (AO classification system) aimed at evaluating the effectiveness of current operative treatment options.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-seven patients with type C distal humeral fractures, treated operatively from January 2002 to September 2016, were retrospectively studied. Thirty-two were eligible for inclusion.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the clinical and radiographic outcomes of juvenile patients who suffered from stage II or III osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee and underwent arthroscopic retrograde drilling and internal fixation with bioabsorbable pins.
Design: Medical and radiological records from patients aged 11 to 16 years, who underwent arthroscopic treatment for OCD lesions of the knee in 2 tertiary hospitals, were retrospectively reviewed. The procedure was indicated by persistent pain and by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
