Double Vector: A Combined Biomechanical and Anatomical Posterolateral Corner Reconstruction Technique.

Posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries are complex knee injuries that are becoming increasingly frequent. Often undiagnosed and underestimated, a systematic diagnostic workup is necessary to assess the severity of PLC injury in order to then be able to select the proper surgery approach. Anatomical and nonanatomical PLC-reconstruction techniques have been described.

Anatomic Combined Anterior Cruciate Ligament and Antero-Lateral Ligament Reconstruction Using Autologous Gracilis and Semitendinosus Graft With Single Tibial and Femoral Tunnel.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common lesions in orthopaedics practice, but still today, rates up to 24% of unsatisfactory results are reported. Unaddressed anterolateral complex (ALC) injuries have been claimed to be responsible for residual anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) after isolate ACL reconstruction and have demonstrated to increase graft failure. In this article, we present our technique for reconstruction of the ACL and anterolateral (ALL) ligament combining the advantages of the anatomical position and the intraosseous femoral fixation to ensure anteroposterior and anterolateral rotational stability.

Is intra-articular injection of autologous micro-fragmented adipose tissue effective in hip osteoarthritis? A three year follow-up.

Background: Recently, increased attention on regenerative medicine and biological injective treatments have been proposed to restore native cartilage. Micro-fragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) has been studied for its anti-inflammatory, paracrine, and immunomodulatory effects. The long-term effects of MFAT are still poorly understood: the aim of the present study is to demonstrate how hip articular injections with autologous MFAT can have an impact on clinical outcomes.

The use of autologous platelet-rich fibrin matrix combined with meniscal repair in the treatment of parameniscal cyst: clinical results and cyst recurrence after 2-year of follow up.

Purpose: Parameniscal cysts are associate with horizontal meniscal tears. Arthroscopic meniscal repair and the excision of the cyst by mini-open approach represent a valid treatment. However, the recurrence of cyst is still a current issue.

Autologous Platelet-Rich Fibrin Matrix-Augmented Repair for Parameniscal Cysts: Surgical Technique.

Parameniscal cysts are defined as an internal disorder of the knee joint. It is known that parameniscal cysts are associated with horizontal meniscal tears that could lead to the collection of synovial fluid within the cyst. Despite the treatment of meniscal tears, cyst recurrence is still an issue that needs to be addressed.

Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy Associated With Lipogems® Intra-Articular Injection For The Treatment Of Varus Knee Osteoarthritis - Retrospective Study.

Background And Aim: Open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a good choice in the treatment of varus knee medial osteoarthritis, with the restore of the correct mechanical axis of the lower limb. Autologous adipose derived stem cells (aASCs) are used in cartilage regeneration and in the treatment of early osteoarthritis. Aim of this study is to retrospectively analyze clinical (and radiological) results in two populations of patients with initial varus medial knee osteoarthritis, treated with HTO, with or without associated intra-articular injection of aASCs.

Groin pain caused by iliopsoas synovial cyst treated with endoscopic approach. A case report.

The diagnosis of iliopsoas synovial cyst is a rare finding. The normal approach to treat this condition has been conservative therapies or open surgery, with its associated complications and morbidity. The arthroscopic - endoscopic surgery is less invasive and with an increase in complications and days of hospitalization.

Comparison between standard technique and image-free robotic technique in medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty. Preliminary data.

The factors that guarantee the survival of the unicompartmental prosthesis implant seems to be linked to the accurate positioning of the components. The aim of our study is to compare the standard operative technique and the assisted navigation technique to understand if the robotic technology is able to obtain more accurate implants and with a better outcome. In the period between January 2016 and February 2018, in our Clinic, were performed 94 medial unicompartmental knee implants.

Arthroscopic treatment of iliopsoas impingement syndrome after hip arthroplasty.

Background And Aim Of The Work: Groin pain after hip arthroplasty (HA) ranges from 0.4% to 18.3%.

Heterotopic Ossification in Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: which is the role of drainage?

Background And Aim Of The Work: The Heterotopic Ossification (HO) is a common complication following Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Although there is no concordance in Literature regarding the etiopathogenic mechanism, various HO risk factors have been recognized, both related to the patient and associated with the surgical procedureLiterature does not consider the use of intra-articular drainage as a possible risk factor. Our hypothesis is that this item can contribute to the development of HO.
