Biomechanical studies have shown that medial meniscal root tears result in meniscal extrusion and increased tibiofemoral joint contact pressures, which can accelerate the progression of arthritis. Repair is generally recommended for acute injuries in the young, active patient population. The far more common presentation however, is a subacute root tear with medial meniscal extrusion in a middle aged patient.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Several cases of snapping biceps femoris tendons have been reported with anomalous insertions of the distal tendon insertion or in the context of trauma. There are only three published cases due to abnormal fibular head morphology.
Methods/results: We present a case of unilateral snapping of the biceps femoris tendon in a 19 year old.
Study Design: Reproducibility study of SterEOS 3-dimensional (3D) software in large, idiopathic scoliosis (IS) spinal curves.
Objective: To determine the accuracy and reproducibility of various 3D, software-generated radiographic measurements acquired from a 2-dimensional (2D) imaging system.
Summary Of Background Data: SterEOS software allows a user to reconstruct a 3D spinal model from an upright, biplanar, low-dose, X-ray system.
Purpose: Anterior spinal stapling for the treatment of adolescent idiopathic scoliosis has been shown to slow progression in small curves; however, its role in larger curves remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of nitinol staples to modulate spinal growth by evaluating the two-dimensional and three-dimensional morphological and histological effects of this method in a well-established porcine model.
Methods: Three immature Yucatan miniature pigs underwent intervertebral stapling.
Study Design: A review of a multicenter, prospective registry of patients surgically treated for adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
Objective: To investigate preoperative and postoperative distribution of coronal decompensation in Lenke 1C curves and to determine whether a selective thoracic fusion (STF) affects the results of coronal decompensation.
Summary Of Background Data: Numerous causes of postoperative coronal decompensation in Lenke 1C curves have been reported; however, there are few reports focusing on preoperative decompensation and its relation to postoperative decompensation in Lenke 1C curves.
