Characteristics and Therapy of Jersey Finger Type V Injuries at a Middle-European Level 1 Trauma Center-A Retrospective Data Analysis.

: Reports on type V FDP tendon avulsions and their treatment are rare. Furthermore, they are not always classified in a consistent manner in the literature. The purpose of our retrospective data analysis was to evaluate and present jersey finger type V injury characteristics, primary radiological findings, treatment options and subsequent patient outcomes, as well as potential complications.

Implementation of Electrical Auricular Acupuncture and Low Frequency Modulated Electric Current Therapy in Pain Management of Patients with Knee Osteoarthritis: A Randomized Pilot Trial.

Background: Knee osteoarthritis is a major cause of knee pain. Conservative therapy resources are limited due to adverse effects. Therefore, alternative non-invasive therapy approaches to reduce pain medications are gaining importance.

Clinical and MRI evaluation of medium- to long-term results after autologous osteochondral transplantation (OCT) in the knee joint.

Purpose: Autologous osteochondral transplantation (OCT) is one of the surgical options currently used to treat cartilage defects. It is the only cartilage repair method that leads to a transfer of hyaline cartilage repair tissue. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the magnetic resonance observation of cartilage repair tissue (MOCART) score, the 3D MOCART score and various clinical scores in patients after OCT in knee joints.

Gender differences following computer-navigated single- and double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Purpose: Female patients not only demonstrate an increased risk for injury, but also a poorer response following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. However, no study has investigated gender-related differences between computer-navigated single-bundle (SB) and double-bundle (DB) ACL reconstruction. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of gender on the outcome of computer-navigated SB and DB ACL reconstruction and to present reference values.

Avulsion fracture and complete rupture of the thumb radial collateral ligament.

Purpose: Acute grade III tears of the radial collateral ligament (RCL) of the thumb as well as certain bony avulsion fractures receive early surgical repair at our institution. The aim of this study was to evaluate if patients would benefit from this treatment algorithm at long-term.

Methods: 47 patients with RCL bony avulsion fracture or grade III RCL tear were evaluated at a median follow-up of 4.
