Introduction: To sustain hoop stress, prevent extrusion, and maintaining the function of the meniscus, the posterior root attachment point of the medial meniscus is essential. The purpose of this study is to determine the functional and radiological outcome of conservative therapy and meniscal repair for medial meniscal root tears.

Materials And Methods: Prospective evaluations were performed on forty individuals who confirmed a diagnosis of Medial meniscus root tear (MMRT).

Article Synopsis
  • The knee joint functions primarily as a hinge joint, allowing for flexion and extension, supported by collateral ligaments on each side.
  • The study aimed to examine the relationship between arthroscopy and MRI in diagnosing traumatic knee diseases in 30 patients.
  • Results showed MRI had high sensitivity (93.87%) and specificity (91.54%), but often misdiagnosed multiple injuries, leading researchers to suggest that arthroscopy should not be ruled out based on a normal MRI result.

Background The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has underscored the multifaceted impact of the virus on human health, extending beyond the respiratory system to involve other organ systems, including the endocrine system. Emerging evidence suggests a notable interaction between COVID-19 and thyroid function, characterized by alterations in thyroid hormone levels and structural changes within the gland. This study aims to explore the association between thyroid density on CT imaging and lung involvement in patients with COVID-19, potentially offering new insights into the systemic effects of the virus.

Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a popular joint-preserving option for medial compartmental osteoarthritis. However, this is associated with alterations in the patellar height (PH) and tibial slope (TS). This study aims to compare the effect of ascending (AMHTO) and descending medial opening wedge HTO (DMHTO) on patella height, posterior tibial slope and functional outcomes.
