Article Synopsis
- Tibial bone tunnel widening (TW) is a common issue after ACL reconstruction, prompting a study on the effectiveness of two bioabsorbable interference screws—mPLA/HA and PLGA/β-TCP—in preventing this problem.
- The study involved testing the screws' physical, biomechanical, and osteoinductive properties, along with their performance in a canine model where 48 beagle dogs underwent ACL reconstruction using either screw type.
- Results showed that the mPLA/HA screw outperformed the PLGA/β-TCP screw in terms of strength, degradation behavior, and bone integration, leading to significantly less TW at the screw body after 6 and 12 months.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to better understand how medial meniscal posterior root tears heal in goats, focusing on early-stage histologic healing.
- Eighteen adult goats were divided into three groups to assess different repair techniques after surgery, with evaluations at 12 and 24 weeks for imaging and biomechanical properties.
- Results showed that the repair method influenced healing quality, with the transosseous suture group showing better outcomes compared to the root tear group, although all samples had weaknesses at the root-meniscus transitions.
Background: An undersized hamstring tendon (HT) autograft is significantly associated with a higher graft failure rate in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery. The ability to accurately predict inadequate HT graft diameter is critical, as it could assist surgeons in making better graft choices and surgical plans.
Purpose: To develop a web-based prediction tool to better assess the size of HT autograft and to help clinicians accurately identify patients with potentially undersized HT grafts in order to make appropriate clinical decisions.
Background: Depression impacts the lives of a large number of university students. Mobile-based therapy chatbots are increasingly being used to help young adults who suffer from depression. However, previous trials have short follow-up periods.
