VALIDITY OF LELLI'S TEST IN DIAGNOSING ACUTE ACL INJURY AND ITS COMPARISON WITH THE OTHER CONVENTIONAL CLINICAL EXAMS.

Background: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a vital structure in the knee responsible for preventing anterior translation; and countering rotational and valgus stress. The anteromedial and posterolateral bundles of the ACL, which are distinguished by their attachments at the tibia and femur, respectively, make up the ACL. The study is designed to evaluate the diagnostic parameters of lever sign in acute settings when compared against MRI as investigation of choice and compare them with the conventional tests.

SAFE ZONE OF JOINT LINE ELEVATION FOR THE TREATMENT OF KNEE FLEXION CONTRACTURE PREVENTING MID-FLEXION INSTABILITY IN TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT.

Background: In osteoarthritic knee, flexion deformity is caused by synovial inflammation, posterior femoral and tibial osteophytes tenting onto the capsule, ligamentous contracture and hamstring shortening. This study aimed to evaluate the safe zone of joint line elevation for the treatment of flexion knee contracture preventing mid-flexion instability in total knee replacement.

Methods: 51 knees with varus osteoarthritis undergoing TKA were evaluated.
