Surgeons should select one side for cervical unilateral open door laminoplasty (UODL). However, few reports suggest proper guidelines for deciding which side to open. The aim of this study is to evaluate the impact of opening side in UODL on dominant cord compressive or symptomatic side.

- Tandem gait serves as an effective screening tool for identifying gait impairments, particularly in patients with degenerative cervical myelopathy (DCM).
- The study involved comparing 62 DCM patients to 55 control subjects, finding that DCM patients had fewer tandem steps and displayed more instability in their gait.
- Results indicated a significant correlation between tandem gait grades and clinical parameters, suggesting that the 10-step tandem gait test is a valuable and objective method for assessing gait disturbances in DCM patients.
Background: Several surgical methods have been developed for medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR). However, the question of which patellar fixation method, suture anchor (SA) or transosseous tunnel (TO) fixation, achieves better overall outcomes remains to be answered.
Hypothesis: SA patellar fixation will present comparable clinical outcomes and a lower complication rate compared with TO patellar fixation for MPFLR.
This study aimed to investigate the effect of anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) in revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with high-grade pivot shift. The hypothesis was that revision ACLR combined with ALLR (RACLR with ALLR group) would show superior clinical outcomes to those of isolated revision ACLR. We retrospectively evaluated consecutive patients who underwent revision ACLR (RACLR) combined with ALLR between October 2015 and January 2017.
