Atrophy and Depigmentation After Pretibial Corticosteroid Injection for Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome: Two Case Reports.

Introduction: No reports have been published on the results of corticosteroid injections for medial tibial stress syndrome (MTSS).

Case Presentation: The authors present 2 cases of women with MTSS who showed atrophy and depigmentation of the skin after pretibial corticosteroid injections. Case 1 is an 18-y-old woman presenting with pain in her lower leg for 12 mo.

Methods to diagnose acute anterior cruciate ligament rupture: a meta-analysis of instrumented knee laxity tests.

Purpose: The aims of this meta-analysis were to determine the sensitivity and specificity of the KT 1000 Arthrometer, Stryker Knee Laxity Tester and Genucom Knee Analysis System for ACL rupture. It was hypothesized that the KT 1000 test is the most sensitive and specific. Secondly, it was hypothesized that the sensitivity and specificity of the KT 1000 arthrometer increase when the amount of Newton force is increased.
