Reconstruction of Chronic Triceps Brachii Tendon Rupture Using Semitendinosus Autograft Surgical Technique.

Rupture of the triceps tendon is a rare event, and the care could be often problematic for orthopedic surgeons. Cases of triceps tendon re-rupture are even rarer. The stump is often retracted, atrophic, and the tissue quality is poor.

Interobserver reliability of the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) classification of meniscal tears.

Background: Consistency of arthroscopic evaluation and documentation in meniscal tears between investigators is essential to the validity of multicenter studies. A group of experts developed a classification of meniscal tears that may be used internationally.

Hypothesis: The International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS) classification of meniscal tears provides sufficient interobserver reliability for pooling of data from international clinical trials designed to evaluate the outcomes of treatment for meniscal tears.

Osteochondral lesions: medial versus lateral, persistent pain, cartilage restoration options and indications.

Chronic giving way and ankle dysfunction are common after ankle sprains. In our approach to chronic ankle pain and giving way, one must consider the differential diagnosis before treatment can be directed appropriately. One of the common diagnoses associated with ankle injury is osteochondral lesions of the talus.

Meniscal healing after meniscal repair: a CT arthrography assessment.

Background: Studies evaluating healing of repaired meniscus are rare and primarily retrospective. The aim of this study was to assess whether there were different healing rates for arthroscopic meniscal repair with respect to the different zones of the meniscus.

Purpose: This study was conducted to assess outcomes and to document anatomic characteristics of the repaired meniscus with postoperative arthrography combined with computed tomography (arthro-CT), particularly the dimensions and healing of the repaired meniscus.

High tibial osteotomy for the treatment of unicompartmental arthritis of the knee.

Knee axial deformities associated with medial or lateral compartment osteoarthritis can be reliably addressed with high tibial osteotomies. Different surgical techniques can be successfully used for achieving the correction. Whatever the technique used, accurate patient selection and precise surgical procedure are critical to the success of the operation.
