Effect of Age and Femoral Tunnel Drilling Technique on the Prevalence of Intra-articular Pathology at Both Primary and Revision ACL Reconstruction.

Background: Studies have shown that meniscal and chondral lesions are more common at the time of revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) compared with primary surgery; however, few have evaluated the same patients through both primary and revision surgery.

Purpose: To describe the prevalence of meniscal and chondral lesions at the time of primary and subsequent revision ACLR and to determine the effect of age and femoral tunnel drilling technique on the development of intra-articular pathology over time.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.

Lower limb alignment becomes more varus and hyperextended from supine to bipedal stance in asymptomatic, osteoarthritic and prosthetic neutral or varus knees.

Purpose: Knee alignment is a fundamental measurement in the assessment, monitoring and surgical management of patients with osteoarthritis. There is a lack of data regarding how static tibiofemoral alignment varies between supine and standing conditions. This study aimed to quantify the relationship between supine and standing lower limb alignment in asymptomatic, osteoarthritic (OA) and prosthetic (TKA) knees.

Predicting patient reported outcome in total knee arthroplasty using body mass index and limb measurements.

Background: Body mass index (BMI) has not been shown to correlate with Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). We investigated the relationship between weight, BMI, limb morphology, and Oxford Knee Score (OKS). Furthermore, the utility of a novel radiological measurement, the Knee Mass Index (KMI), was investigated.

Case report: a modified 1-stage technique for the treatment of brachymetatarsia.

Unlabelled: Brachymetatarsia is an abnormal shortening of a metatarsal. It causes disruption of the normal metatarsal parabola, resulting in metatarsalgia, calluses and dislocation of the digits. Patients often express discontent with the appearance of their feet.

Early post-operative results of neglected tendo-Achilles rupture reconstruction using short flexor hallucis longus tendon transfer: a prospective review.

Background: Various repair techniques have been reported for neglected tendo-Achilles rupture.

Objective: This study aimed to prospectively investigate the impact of short flexor hallucis longus (FHL) transfer to the calcaneus for patients with neglected rupture secondary to trauma.

Methods: One surgeon operated on a series of patients with neglected tendo-Achilles rupture.
