Purpose: Aim of this paper is to compare the biomechanical properties of the Pretzel knot with the selected arthroscopic knots and to test the mechanical safety of this knot. The hypothesis was that the Pretzel knot may have equal or better mechanical properties than the arthroscopic knots tested in this study.
Methods: SMC, Giant, Dines, Nicky's, Tennessee Slider knots were chosen for comparison.
Modified Fulkerson osteotomy in recurrent patellofemoral dislocations.
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc
October 2010
Article Synopsis
- - The study focused on 17 knees from 16 patients with recurrent patellofemoral dislocations, averaging 25 years old, who underwent a modified Fulkerson technique to improve patellar alignment and reduce dislocations after a duration of symptoms from 1 to 12 years.
- - Surgical procedures included lateral patellar release, modified Fulkerson osteotomy, and medial plication, with assessments made through radiographs and arthroscopy to evaluate patellar position and cartilage condition postoperatively.
- - Follow-up results indicated varying degrees of cartilage damage in the knees, with eight knees showing severe damage and challenges such as effusion and subluxation observed in two knees each during the evaluation period of 2.6
Effect of partial medial meniscectomy on the proprioceptive function of the knee.
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg
March 2010
Introduction: The aim of this study was to assess the proprioception of the partial meniscectomized knee and to assess if there is an effect on the knee proprioception.
Materials And Methods: We performed a case-control study involving patients with meniscus tear at the posterior horn of medial meniscus. Group 1 composed of 19 patients, with an average age of 26.
A basic arthroscopy course based on motor skill training.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc
October 2010
Article Synopsis
- The study aims to develop and assess a basic arthroscopy training course that incorporates interactive methods, with an emphasis on hands-on practice using bovine knees and simulated joint models.
- Participants received feedback on their improvement and were evaluated by an expert using a detailed checklist, revealing a structured approach to skill development in arthroscopy.
- After a two-day course involving lectures, demonstrations, and continuous feedback, participants rated the course highly (4.36 out of 5), with 90% stating it met their expectations, particularly valuing the practical applications during the training.
Unlabelled: Dislocation of the os trigonum presenting as a loose body is a rare clinical entity. In this report, we describe the case of a 34-year-old male who presented with symptoms of acute left ankle pain that was aggravated by motion and weight bearing. He also displayed lateral collateral ligamentous laxity, without the presence of an effusion.

Cartilage symptoms in the knee may be encountered in various forms in orthopedic practice. The first stage from history to treatment is to establish the diagnosis; if the diagnosis is made as a cartilage lesion in the knee, priority must be given to current treatment approaches. The surgeon must provide information regarding etiology, defect thickness, lesion size, the containment of cartilage, localization, stability, meniscal integrity, anatomic alignment of the knee, previous assessments, radiological assessment (direct radiography, magnetic resonance imaging), and general, medical, and systemic conditions, and family history.
