Meniscal Ramp Injury Diagnosis.

: This study compared diagnostic methods for meniscal ramp injury (magnetic resonance imaging [MRI], arthrotomography, and arthroscopy) to determine the most sensitive and the agreement level between them.  We studied 21 patients, all young athletes with suspected anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury after trauma for at least 3 months and no evidence or history of other osteoarticular injuries in the knee. The patients underwent MRI and arthrotomography.

Evaluation of the peroneus longus tendon as an autologous graft in knee surgery.

Our hypothesis is that the peroneus longus (PL) is a great option for ligament reconstruction in the knee, and therefore the objective of the study is to determine if the use of this graft is safe and does not cause secondary damage to the harvested area. A prospective study was conducted between April 2019 and September 2022. Patients who underwent any type of knee ligament reconstruction using the PL or just the anterior half (AHPL) as grafts were followed up.

Anterior Cruciate and Anterior Oblique Ligament Reconstruction Using Hamstrings and Peroneus Longus' Anterior Half Grafts.

Anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common in high school and college with an estimated 120,000 cases per year in the United States. Most sports injuries occur without direct contact, and knee valgus with external rotation of the foot is the most common movement. This movement may be related to the injury of the anterior oblique ligament located in the anteromedial quadrant of the knee.

Anatomical Study of the Medial Region of the Knee: Qualitative, Quantitative Analysis and Description of the Anterior Oblique Ligament.

 To describe all ligamentous, capsular, tendinous and bone landmarks structures of the medial region of the knee, as well as a new ligamentous structure identified in a series of anatomical dissections of cadaveric specimens.  Twenty cadaver knees were dissected to study the medial compartment. The main structures of this region were identified during dissection.

Peroneus Longus Tendon Graft to Reconstruct the Posterolateral Corner of the Knee.

The posterolateral corner is critical to knee stability. Neglected injuries have a direct impact on the prognosis due to residual instability, chronic pain, deformities, and failure to repair other structures. Several techniques are used to reconstruct the posterolateral corner, often with autologous ischiotibial grafts or homologous grafts.

Knee anteromedial compartment dissection: Final results and anterior oblique ligament description.

The anteromedial region of the knee is little explored in the literature and may play an important role in anteromedial rotatory instability. The purpose of this study is to describe a ligamentous structure in the anteromedial region of the knee identified in a series of anatomical dissections of cadaveric specimens. Twenty-one cadaveric knees were dissected to study the medial compartment.

Anterior Half of the Peroneus Longus Tendon Combined with Semitendinosus and Gracilis Tendons for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: An Athlete Case Report.

In clinical practice, it is observed that the hamstring tendon graft, despite being first choice in knee ligament reconstruction, may not present adequate size. Therefore, it becomes necessary to search for other graft alternatives. In this context, the peroneus longus tendon arises as an option to replace or complement other grafts.

rs326119 polymorphism is associated with plasma concentrations of homocysteine and cobalamin, but not with congenital heart disease or coronary atherosclerosis in Brazilian patients.

Background: Differences in the distribution of the rs326119 polymorphism (c.56 + 781 A > C) between patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and controls have been described in Chinese individuals. The association is thought to be due to deregulation of homocysteine-cobalamin pathways.
