[Gait Analysis in Patients with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis].

Purpose Of The Study: The study describes changes in gait parameters (temporal-spatial parameters, kinematic parameters represented by the global Gait Deviation Index) of individuals with Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) compared to the healthy population. The hypothesis assumed a difference in the observed parameters between the two mentioned groups.

Material And Methods: In a retrospective study, the temporal-spatial parameters and Gait Deviation Index (GDI) of a cohort of 45 AIS patients (36 girls and 9 boys with the mean age of 15.

The relationship of hip loading asymmetry and radiological parameters of the spine in Lenke type 1 idiopathic scoliosis.

Background: Idiopathic scoliosis does not only cause structural changes in the spine, but also functional changes of the musculoskeletal system.

Research Question: Does idiopathic scoliosis lead to asymmetric hip loading in severe Lenke type 1 deformity?

Methods: 23 patients (18 girls, 5 boys) aged 15 ± 2.8 years with an adolescent idiopathic main thoracic curve (Cobb angle 48.

[Comparison of the Outcomes of Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using Cadaverous BTB Graft with the Outcomes of Primary ACL Reconstruction with Filtering out the Effects of Age and Sex].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY Evaluation of the success rate of revision ACL reconstruction using the cadaverous BTB allogeneic graft and comparison of the outcomes achieved with the data of patients after the primary ACL reconstruction using the autologous BTB graft with filtering out the potential effect of diversity of the groups of patients as concerns sex and age. MATERIAL AND METHODS The evaluated outcomes of 34 patients operated in the period 2004-2017, i.e.

[The Use of BTB Allograft in Revision Reconstruction of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Its Success Rate in Terms of Subjective Patient Satisfaction].

PURPOSE OF THE STUDY A retrospective evaluation of the success rate of revision ACL reconstruction performed using BTB allograft in terms of the life expectancy of the procedure up to and over five years from surgery. MATERIAL AND METHODS Over a ten-year period, from 2003 to 2013, we performed 47 revision ACL reconstruction surgeries. The majority of the primary ACL reconstructions using BTB autografts were not performed at our site.

[Most frequent causes of autologous graft failure in anterior cruciate ligament replacement].

Purpose Of The Study: The aim of this retrospective study was to present a comprehensive overview of the causes of bone-tendon-bone (BTB) autograft failure after primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. MATERIAL AnD METHODS: Between 2003 and 2013, we performed revision ACL replacement in 47 patients who had undergone primary BTB autograft ACL reconstruction in other hospitals. The group consisted of 16 women (aged 25 to 48 years) and 31 men (25 to 46 years).
