Tibial Spine Avulsion Fracture Fixation Using a Re-tensionable All-Suture Construct.

Tibial spine avulsion injuries, including fractures, are a variant of anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Treatment historically consisted of open reduction and internal fixation of the avulsion fracture, with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction considered in cases of failed open reduction and internal fixation or residual laxity. However, improved instrumentation has led to the advancement of various arthroscopic techniques for addressing these injuries.

Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair Using a Re-tensionable All-Suture Construct.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are among the most common injuries to the knee. With recent improvements in imaging that allow for more precise identification of ACL tear patterns, improved techniques for repair, and advancements in biological augmentation, there has been a re-emerging interest in primary ACL repair, especially for acute proximal ACL tears. This article aims to describe a surgical technique for primary ACL repair using a re-tensionable all-suture-based construct.

Rehabilitation Protocols for Superior Capsular Reconstruction Are Variable: A Systematic Review.

Purpose: To screen manuscripts that discuss rehabilitation protocols for patients who underwent superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) to elucidate whether a standard rehabilitation algorithm exists for SCR.

Methods: A systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses (i.e.

Peroneal Tendinosis and Subluxation.

Peroneal tendinosis and subluxation are lifestyle-limiting conditions that can worsen if not properly diagnosed and treated. Adequate knowledge of ankle anatomy and detailed history and comprehensive physical examination is essential for diagnosis. Peroneal tendinopathy is likely to result from overuse, whereas subluxation often precipitates from forceful contraction of peroneals during sudden dorsiflexion while landing or abruptly stopping.

Diagnosis of Traumatic Ankle Arthrotomies Using Saline Load Tests, Methylene Blue, and Radiopaque Tracer: A Cadaveric Study.

Background: The objective of this study was to define the volume (mLs) needed for a positive saline load challenge test in anterolateral (AL), anteromedial (AM), posterolateral (PL), or posteromedial (PM) ankle arthrotomy wounds using normal saline (NS) and methylene blue (MB). Another objective was to evaluate the use of fluoroscopy and iodinated contrast in the diagnosis of ankle arthrotomies.

Methods: Four cadaveric ankle specimens underwent standardized arthrotomy creation in either the AL, AM, PL, or PM portion of each specimen.

Studying the evolution and the magnetic resonance findings of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy in children.

Purpose: To describe the evolution and the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings of the reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy (RLPS) in children.

Method: Nine children with neurologic symptoms and sudden increase of the arterial pressure were studied by brain MRI.

Results: All children evaluated had lesions seen on FLAIR-weighted images of the parietal-occipital regions.
