Background: The quadrant method is widely used to determine the femoral footprint center (FFC) on radiographs or computed tomography (CT) and can also describe the tibial footprint center (TFC). However, its application on three-dimensional (3D) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been limited. This study aims to describe the ACL footprint center position on 3D MRI of healthy knees using the quadrant method.

Most PSIs used in TKA were commercial products from implant manufacturers, which could be time-consuming and could potentially affect accuracy as they relied on engineer's decision. This study aimed to present the radiological outcomes of PSI produced by the 3D printing facility at our hospital, with direct involvement of the surgeon in its design.

Point-of-care production is gradually becoming the norm for PSI manufacturing. The purpose of this article is to assess the accuracy and safety of PSI for total hip arthroplasty performed at the point-of-care in Vietnam.

Methodology: A descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on people who have recovered from COVID-19 at least 2 weeks prior to the online survey.
Introduction: Tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TSGCT) is a slow-growing soft tissue tumor that develops from the synovial tissue of tendon sheaths, joints, or bursae. In the knee, this type of tumor is uncommon. Giant cell tumors of the cruciate ligaments' tendon sheath are far more infrequent.

Case Presentation: 57-year-old male was diagnosed with pelvic osteosarcoma.
Introduction: Treatment of elbow bone defects is still a huge challenge in orthopaedic in order to restore the shape and function of the elbow joint. Bone defect reconstruction is very difficult due to biomechanical complexity of the elbow joint and the poor coverage tissue of this area, so mega-prothesis can be considered the most optimal solution in these cases.
Case Report: We present two clinical cases of megaprosthesis elbow replacement for treatment of bone defects caused by sequelae of trauma.
Background: The purpose of this research is to evaluate the results of arthroscopic suture fixation with fiber wires used as treatment for ACL avulsion fracture, and to determine how effective such a technique is when it comes to restoring of knee function.
Materials And Methods: This prospective study involves 28 patients, who underwent arthroscopic fixation of displaced ACL avulsion fractures at Saint Paul Hospital (Hanoi) from January 2014 to March 2018.
Results: The first three weeks were not marked with any abnormalities associated with post-operative sutures and hematomas, infectious complications were not detected either.
