Percutaneous Lateral Collateral Ligament Release for Arthroscopic Procedures of the Knee: The "Lateral Pie-Crusting".

Arthroscopy of the knee is among the most frequent procedures worldwide in orthopaedic surgery. To avoid iatrogenic cartilage injury, adequate visualization and working space are mandatory to perform complex procedures. Narrow femorotibial joint space is often encountered, and it is challenging to obtain consistent satisfactory results.

Osteo-Proliferative Lesions of the Phalanges on Radiography: Associations with Sex, Age, and Osteoarthritis.

Objectives: The effects of aging such as osteophyte formation, acral shape changes, cortical tunneling, and bone porosity as well as enthesophytes can be studied in the X-rays of hands. However, during the interpretation of radiographs of the hands, misinterpretation and false-positive findings for psoriatic arthritis often occur because periosteal proliferations of the phalanges are overinterpreted and too little is known about enthesophytes of the phalanges in this area. Method: It included a total of 1153 patients (577 men, 576 women) who presented themselves to the emergency department and received a radiography of their right hand to exclude fractures.

The anatomy of the navicular and periarticular structures.

The navicular bone, located in the midfoot, articulates with the head of the talus, cuboid, and the three cuneiform bones that are involved in the acetabulum pedis. It gives attachment to the spring ligament (superomedial and inferior calcaneonavicular ligament)that can be injured in a failure of the posterior tibialis tendon and cause an adult acquired flatfoot deformity. The navicular bone provides insertion for the posterior tibialis tendon.
