Background Context: Iatrogenic dural tears are common complications encountered in spine surgery with known ramifications. There is little information, however, with respect to the implications and complications of traumatic dural tears.
Purpose: To describe the demographics and characteristics of traumatically acquired dural tears and evaluate the complication rate associated with traumatic dural tears in patients who have undergone surgical treatment for spine injuries.
Background: Lateral tibiofemoral articular geometry may play a role in the development of non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. We hypothesized that athletes who had sustained an ACL injury would demonstrate more highly convex articular surfaces in the lateral compartment of the knee compared with activity-matched athletes who had not sustained an ACL injury, and that women would demonstrate greater absolute and relative convexity of these articular surfaces than men.
Methods: One hundred and twelve athletes with a non-contact ACL injury and sixty-one activity-matched athletes without an ACL injury were studied.
