Isolated Acute Dorsal Distal Radioulnar Joint Dislocation: A Case Report.

Introduction: Isolated acute distal radioulnar joint (DRUJ) dislocation is a rare condition and easy undiagnosed. Few cases are reported in the literature about its treatment. We reported a case of an isolated acute traumatic dorsal DRUJ dislocation treated with early reduction and immobilization.

Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada Disease Following COVID-19 Infection.

A 29-year-old female presented to the emergency clinic with gradual visual disturbance in both eyes for 15 days duration, accompanied by bilateral tinnitus, and ocular pain that increased with ocular movements. One month prior to presentation, the patient had tested positive for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 but without complications. Visual acuity was 20/100 in the right eye and 20/300 in the left eye.

Validation of a functional method for the estimation of hip joint centre location.

The present study assesses the accuracy with which the subject specific coordinates of the hip joint centre (HJC) in a pelvic anatomical frame can be estimated using different methods. The functional method was applied by calculating the centre of the best sphere described by the trajectory of markers placed on the thigh during several trials of hip rotations. Different prediction methods, proposed in the literature and in the present investigation, which estimate the HJC of adult subjects using regression equations and anthropometric measurements, were also assessed.

Cryo/Cuff use after arthroscopic surgery: effect on knee joint temperature.

Any modality that alters joint homeostasis could have a potential negative effect on cartilage. During arthroscopic knee surgery, the temperature in the knee joint decreases significantly. The use of cryotherapy after this surgical procedure could maintain or increase these temperature variations.

Arthroscopic intra- and extra-articular anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with gracilis and semitendinosus tendons.

Numerous surgical procedures have been developed and used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Patellar tendon is probably the most common graft used, but gracilis and semitendinous tendons present some interesting advantages: small incision, large graft when doubled, characteristics close to ACL, rapid harvest. We describe a combined intra- and extra-articular arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring tendons which includes some original steps.

Total knee arthroplasty without patellar resurfacing in active and overweight patients.

Overweight patients are often considered poor candidates for total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A retrospective study of this was done on 47 osteoarthritic knees treated by TKA without patella resurfacing between March 1991 and June 1993. The Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) rating system was used for clinical evaluation, and radiographs to study the degree of osteoarthritis and radiolucency.

Arthroscopic management of recurrent anterior dislocation of the shoulder: analysis of technical modifications on the Caspari procedure.

Arthroscopic treatment was performed on 71 patients with recurrent shoulder dislocations; all of the patients had monoplanar anterior instability attributable to arthroscopically diagnosed Bankart lesion. Of the 71 operations, 29 were performed using the original Caspari technique (follow-up, 59 months), and 42 were performed after modifications made in the original technique (follow-up, 38 months), notably improved preparation of the capsular reinsertion zone and increase in the number of monofilament points and their anchorage directly to the bone, on the spine of the scapula. We compared the results obtained in these two differently treated groups, taking into account several factors in the patient's history and clinical condition.

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament with Leeds-Keio ligament in non-professional athletes. Results after a minimum 5 years' follow-up.

We report our experience using the Leeds-Keio artificial ligament for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The study relates the results of the first 40 patients subjected to arthroscopic reconstruction of the ACL with a Leeds-Keio ligament, with a mean follow-up of 73 months. No associated peripheral procedures were carried out on any patient.

Early versus late reconstruction for anterior cruciate ligament rupture. Results after five years of followup.

We investigated the clinical and laxity testing results at 5 years' followup in patients who had early or late anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Twenty-three patients (Group I) were treated within 15 days of injury. Fifty-nine patients (Group II) were treated more than 3 months after injury.

Results in the treatment of recurrent dislocation of the patella after 30 years' follow-up.

The authors compare the clinical and radiographic outcome in patients with comparable bilateral recurrent patellar dislocation treated surgically on only one side, to clarify the appropriateness of the surgical indication. Sixteen patients were evaluated at an average follow-up of 30 years (20-45); all had been treated by the Roux technique. The results on both the operated and the unoperated knee were evaluated; the Crosby and Insall schedule was used for the clinical evaluation.

The preliminary results of press-fit knee arthroplasty without a patellar component.

A total of 22 cases of Kinemax prostheses implanted consecutively from January to June 1990 for the treatment of primary gonarthrosis were evaluated; in these cases remodeling of the patella was performed, and the corresponding component of the prosthesis was not used. The mean age of the patients was 64 years, mean follow-up was obtained after 48 months. According to the HSS form results were: excellent: 9 (40.
