Purpose: Ruptures of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) are often accompanied by posterolateral corner (PLC) and posteromedial corner (PMC) injuries. This study investigates the incidence and impact of PMC and PLC injuries on posterior tibial translation (PTT). It was hypothesized that PMC injuries are more common and impactful than previously reported.

The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes, knee laxity, and failure rates after revision ACLR with LET (ACLR + LET) versus without LET. It was hypothesized that ACLR + LET improves clinical outcomes and reduces the failure rate.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: Patellar dislocations are a common occurrence in orthopedic practice, often accompanied by osteochondral fractures of the retropatellar cartilage surface, known as flake fractures, in up to 58% of cases. The parachute technique represents a simple and cost-effective surgical option aimed at restoring osteochondral integration and preserving native cartilage.
Indications: Flake fracture of the patella with osteochondral fragments.
Article Synopsis
- Osteochondral defects in the knee can cause early arthritis and are more common in young, active people with misaligned bones (called varus malalignment).
- A study looked at how well a combination treatment called Osteochondral Autologous Transfer (OAT) and Valgus High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) worked for these issues over a long time.
- The researchers found that the treatment had good results, with many patients feeling better and only a small number needing more surgeries after many years.
Article Synopsis
- The 17th Workshop on Recent Issues in Bioanalysis (17 WRIB) occurred in Orlando from June 19-23, 2023, gathering over 1000 professionals from pharma, biotech, and regulatory agencies to discuss current bioanalysis topics.
- The event featured 3 Main Workshops and 7 Specialized Workshops covering key issues like biomarkers, immunogenicity, and evolving regulations including the EU IVDR and US FDA remote assessments.
- The outcomes of the workshop led to a comprehensive White Paper offering recommendations for improving bioanalytical practices and regulatory compliance, divided into three parts focusing on different aspects of bioanalysis.
