Arthroscopic reconstruction of the lateral ankle ligaments: Radiological evaluation and short-term clinical outcome.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the positioning of bone tunnels of arthroscopic anatomical reconstruction of lateral ankle ligaments (AAR-LAL) and identify radiological measurements associated with short-term clinical outcome one year after surgery.

Materials And Methods: A total of 61 patients were included in this IRB-approved retrospective study. There were 52 men and 9 women, with a mean age of 36.

Multimodality imaging of subacromial impingement syndrome.

Subacromial impingement syndrome results from irritation of the tendons of the rotator cuff muscles in the subacromial space and may manifest as a range of pathologies. However, subacromial impingement is a dynamic condition for which imaging reveals predisposing factors but no pathognomonic indicators. Also, the usual imaging features of subacromial impingement may be seen in symptomatic and asymptomatic patients.

Short- and long-term evolution of the endoluminal diameter of underdilated stents in transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term evolution of endoluminal diameter of covered metallic stents that were underdilated at the time of transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) creation.

Materiel And Methods: Sixteen patients (13 men, 3 women) with a mean age of 57.6years±7.

Pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm after radiofrequency ablation: report of two cases.

We report two cases of pulmonary arterial pseudoaneurysms (PAs) following percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (PRFA). The first patient was a 74-year-old Caucasian man who was treated for a secondary location of an advanced melanoma. A computed tomography scan at 72 h after the procedure, performed for basithoracic pain, hyperthermia and haemoptysis, revealed a 17-mm PA within the ablative zone.
