The effectiveness of microfracture augmentation on the wall of femoral condyle in meniscal healing among patients with meniscus tears after sports injury.

Background: Meniscus injuries are familiar sources of knee pain, with meniscus repair sometimes yielding unsatisfactory results. Microfracture is a standard procedure for treating articular cartilage damage in the knee that promotes the formation of fibrocartilage over damaged cartilage. Microfracture enhanced the healing rate of meniscus repair in animal models.

The Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma Augmentation in Meniscus Repair Results in a Lower Failure Rate than in the Control Group: A Systematic Review From Meta-analysis.

Purpose: To investigate the efficacy of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) as an augmentation in meniscus repair.

Methods: A comprehensive search of PubMed, Medline (via EBSCO), ProQuest, and ScienceDirect from January to February 2023 was conducted using the terms "meniscus repair," "PRP," and "meniscus tear." Meta-analyses that investigated the rate of failure after meniscus repair were included.

Modified Implant Fixation Technique Is an Alternative for Patients with an Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear in Limited Resource Settings: A Comparison Functional Outcome Study with Polyether Ether Ketone and Bioabsorbable Screws.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is one of the most prevalent factors contributing to knee instability worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate modified metal fixation techniques for ACL reconstruction compared to factory-made implants, such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK) screws, bioabsorbable screws, and modified metal implants. A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted to assess the functional outcomes of ACL using various fixation methods.

Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction (ACLR) and Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis through the Modified Lemaire Technique versus Isolated ACLR: A Meta-analysis of Clinical Outcomes.

 Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) has been proposed to resolve rotatory instability following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The present meta-analysis aimed to compare the clinical outcomes of ACLR and ACLR with LET using the modified Lemaire technique.  We performed a meta-analysis following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) staement.

Double membrane platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) - Synovium succeeds in regenerating cartilage defect at the knee: An experimental study on rabbit.

Background: This study aims to prove the healing results (regeneration) in cartilage defects using a combination treatment of microfractures and transplantation synovium-platelet rich fibrin (S-PRF).

Methods: A cartilage defect was made in the trochlear groove of the knee of adult New Zealand white rabbits, and was classified into three treatment groups. The group 1 was cartilage defect without treatment, 2 with microfracture treatment, and 3 with microfracture covered with a synovium-platelet rich fibrin (S-PRF) membrane.

Treatment of grade III knee osteoarthritis with bone marrow stimulation and intraarticular injection of triamcinolone and hyaluronic acid combination; three case report and literature review.

Introduction And Importance: Osteoarthritis is a severe joint disease that affects more than 60% of the elderly and more common an idiopathic disease or unknown cause although there is also a secondary cause such as trauma, infection, neurological or metabolic disorders. The usual complaints that perceived by osteoarthritis patients is pain in the affected joint. Many patients and providers think of arthroplasty as the only surgical option for the treatment of osteoarthritis of the knee.

Atypical musculoskeletal manifestations of gout in hyperuricemia patients.

Deposition of tophus is a common feature in chronic gout; however, signs and symptoms are not always well-pronounced in cases of uncommon sites. We report a case series of three patients, one with an acute locked knee suspected to be meniscus tear or intra-articular loose body, a second case with a lump on the dorsal hand suspected to be a benign lesion, and a third case with a finger flexion deformity with carpal tunnel syndrome; all three cases were later on found out to be tophaceous gout. White chalky monosodium urate crystal deposition was found to be the culprit of the symptoms of the patients.

Acceleration of healing of the medial collateral ligament of the knee by local administration of synthetic microRNA-210 in a rat model.

Background: Injury to the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee joint is the most common ligament injury of the knee. Ligament healing generally takes a long time. Micro-ribonucleic acid (miRNA) is one of the noncoding RNAs and plays a crucial role in physiological function; miRNA (miR)-210 is known as a potent factor of angiogenesis, which is an important initiator of ligament healing.
