Arthroscopic-Assisted Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction of the Knee: Novel Technique, Classification, Surgical Algorithm, and Midterm Results.

Objectives: This study aimed to introduce a new arthroscopic method for reconstructing the popliteus tendon (PT). This minimally invasive technique is performed through the posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee, which can reconstruct the posterolateral rotary instability (PLRI) of the knee.

Methods: Thirty-nine patients (8 females, 31 males) with PLC injury and normal knee alignment underwent arthroscopic PT reconstruction.

Potential therapeutic effects of shrimp protein hydrolysates on NAFLD-induced infertility disorders: Insights into redox balance, heat shock protein expression, and chromatin compaction in male rats.

Objectives: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is known to disrupt testicular anti-oxidant capacity, leading to oxidative stress (OS) that can negatively affect male fertility by damaging sperm DNA. Heat shock proteins (HSP70 and HSP90), in association with transitional proteins (TP1 and TP2), play crucial roles in protecting sperm DNA integrity in oxidative conditions. Whiteleg shrimp protein hydrolysates (HPs) exhibit anti-oxidant properties, prompting this study to explore the potential of HPs in ameliorating NAFLD-induced testicular damage.

Combined Effects of Chrysin Supplementation and Exercise Training on Diabetes-Induced Oxidative Stress and Apoptosis in Rat Testicular Tissue.

Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM), one of the most pervasive and enduring metabolic diseases, has been demonstrated to adversely impact male fertility. Conversely, both exercise training and Chrysin have been identified as potential interventions capable of mitigating the deleterious effects of diabetes on spermatogenesis. Thus, the current study aims to explore the individual and combined influences of Chrysin supplementation and running exercise on oxidative stress and germ cell apoptosis in the testicular tissue of diabetic adult rats.

Effect of Adding Stem Extension to a Short-Keeled Knee Implant on the Risk of Tibial Loosening: a Historical Cohort Study.

Background: Short-keeled tibial implants may be at higher risk of aseptic loosening. Stem augmentation has been suggested to improve its fixation. We aimed to assess whether this technique could decrease the loosening rate of such tibial implants.
