The Popliteal Artery is Safe in Medial Meniscal Repair Using All Inside Devices in Adults: An MRI-Based Simulation Study.

Introduction: This simulation study on MRI of the knee was performed to assess the risk of injury to the popliteal artery (PA) and common peroneal nerve (CPN) during all-inside meniscal repairs in adults.

Methods: We simulated repair of the posterior horn of both medial (PHMM) and lateral menisci (PHLM) through anteromedial (AM) and anterolateral (AL) portals, using straight and curved devices, on 200 magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans taken with the knee in extension. For simulation using straight devices, the shortest distance from the menisco-capsular junction (MCJ) and the free edge of the meniscus to PA and CPN in vectors of AM and AL portals was measured.

Isolated Cerebral Fat Embolism Syndrome in a Polytrauma Patient with Complete Recovery - A Case Report.

Introduction: Isolated cerebral fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rare complication that occurs within the first 3 days of the initial insult. We report a case of multiple long bone fractures with isolated cerebral FES, despite undergoing early total care with definitive fixation.

Case Presentation: A 22-year-old female presented with type IIIA open femur shaft fracture on the right side (AO 32B2), closed femur shaft fracture (AO 32B2), comminuted patella fracture on the left side (AO 34C3), and undisplaced mandible fracture.

Double Level Osteotomy in an Overcorrected Distal Femoral Varisation Osteotomy: A Case Report.

Case: We report a patient who was diagnosed with idiopathic genu valgum at the age of 11 years and underwent bilateral distal femur osteotomies. At age 30 years, she presented with pain around her right knee with a varus deformity. Although the corrective osteotomy was at the distal femur, she was noticed to have a bifocal deformity in both femur and tibia.

Manual extraction is superior to power tools when removing stripped titanium locking screws.

Introduction: Removal of screws from a titanium locking plate is often difficult once the screw has seized and the head is damaged. Such stripped screws are removed with an extraction screw, which can be used manually or on power. We aim to compare the extraction rates using both these methods.

Total Hip Arthroplasty in Post-traumatic Acetabular Nonunion with Symphysis Pubis Diastasis: A Case Report.

Case: We report a patient with a long-standing post-traumatic pubic diastasis along with acetabular nonunion who developed painful hip arthritis that needed a total hip arthroplasty. We discuss the unique challenges in the acetabular component positioning.

Conclusion: In patients with symphysis pubis diastasis, the surgeon should be prepared to place the cup in less than normal anteversion.
