Repair of the Anterior Horn of the Lateral and Medial Meniscus With Knotless Suture Anchor.

The anterior horn lateral meniscus tear often is accompanied by perimeniscal cysts, which are treated with arthroscopic cyst excision with outside-in repair of the anterior horn. After cyst excision, there is a large gap between the thin anterior capsule and the anterior horn, which sometimes does not allow a stable repair. The suture knots may be palpable below the skin postoperation and cause irritation.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Ganglion and Decompression of Mucoid Degeneration Using a "Figure-of-4 Position".

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ganglion cysts and mucoid degeneration of the ACL are 2 distinct nontraumatic lesions of the ACL that occur discretely but can coexist. The exact etiopathogenesis still needs to be clarified. Mucoid degeneration presents as pain mainly on the posterior or posterolateral aspect of the knee and loss of terminal flexion and extension range of motion of the knee.

Technique for Medial Meniscus Ramp Repair: An Anatomic Approach.

Medial meniscus ramp lesions are commonly associated with anterior cruciate ligament injury. They are one of the causes of positive pivot shift and can lead to failure to obtain rotary stability if missed during the surgical procedure. Several repair methods use a suture lasso from 2 posteromedial portals to attach the posteromedial capsule to the meniscus.

Fish Mouth Closure of Horizontal Cleavage Tear of the Meniscus using Self-locking Modified Racking Hitch Knot (HitPat knot). - A Technical Note.

Introduction: Horizontal cleavage tears (HCT) of the meniscus are treated with fish-mouth closure with sutures using different methods. Using a no. 0 fiber wire and taking bites through both the flaps using a suture passing device and tying multiple knots is a cost-effective technique.

Endoscopic Calcaneoplasty for Haglunds Excision Using Two Lateral Portals.

Introduction: The main objective of this case report is to demonstrate endoscopic calcaneoplasty (ECP) using two lateral portals.

Case Report: The patient is middle-aged male aged 40 years, with higher basal metabolic index (BMI) and was diagnosed having a Haglund's bump and was on conservative treatment for a period of over 6 months, with minimal relief. We did ECP with the patient in lateral decubitus position using two lateral portals instead of using one medial and one lateral portal, his American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society score has improved from 64 to 98, and his Fowler-Philip angle is reduced from 71° to 45°.

Subdeltoid Bursa Tuberculosis with Rice Bodies Formation: Case Report and Review of Literature.

Introduction: We describe a rare case of a patient with unilateral musculoskeletal manifestation of tuberculosis presented as bursitis of the left shoulder with rice bodies, without coexisting active tuberculosis or tuberculosis in the previous history.

Case Report: A 21 year old patient was examined, who complained of pain and swelling in the left shoulder for 2 years. MRI showed a large amount of rice bodies with joint effusion in the left shoulder with intact rotator cuff.
