The Impact of Medial Meniscal Extrusion on Cartilage of the Medial Femorotibial Joint-A Retrospective Analysis Based on Quantitative T2 Mapping at 3.0T.

: The aim of this study was the investigation of any correlation between medial meniscal extrusion (MME) and T2 relaxation times. Furthermore, the impact of different meniscal morphologies on the femoral cartilage was assessed. : Fifty-nine knees of fifty-five patients (twenty-four female, thirty-one male) with a mean age of 33.

Characteristics and Therapy of Jersey Finger Type V Injuries at a Middle-European Level 1 Trauma Center-A Retrospective Data Analysis.

: Reports on type V FDP tendon avulsions and their treatment are rare. Furthermore, they are not always classified in a consistent manner in the literature. The purpose of our retrospective data analysis was to evaluate and present jersey finger type V injury characteristics, primary radiological findings, treatment options and subsequent patient outcomes, as well as potential complications.

A suture anchor-based repair technique for type IV jersey finger injuries: a biomechanical investigation.

The aim of this biomechanical investigation was to evaluate a repair technique for type IV FDP tendon avulsions using a suture anchor, addressing the bony and the tendinous aspect of this injury simultaneously. In 45 distal phalanges from human anatomical specimens the injury was simulated and repairs were performed with a suture anchor using an innovative technique, interosseous sutures and a combination of screws and an interosseous suture. Repetitive loading for 500 cycles simulated postoperative mobilization.
