The single visit treatment of pediatric distal radius buckle fractures-A center's experience with the treatment algorithm.

Introduction: This descriptive study aims to review and evaluate the implementation of a single visit treatment protocol for pediatric distal radius buckle fractures at our center - its success, learning points and limitations. It hopes to raise awareness of the efficacy of the protocol and its benefits to promote its utilization.

Methods: Following a pilot study, the protocol was implemented from 1 March 2017.

Role of the anterior intermeniscal ligament in tibiofemoral contact mechanics during axial joint loading.

The anterior intermeniscal ligament (AIML) is an anatomically distinct structure that connects the anterior horns of the medial and lateral menisci. We hypothesized that both menisci work together as a unit in converting axial joint loading into circumferential hoop stresses, due to intermeniscal attachments. Therefore, loss of the AIML could lead to increased tibiofemoral contact stress and predispose to arthritic change.
