Autogenous Bone Grafts versue Metal Cage with Allogenic Bone Grafts for Post-Corpectomy Anterior Column Reconstruction in Patients with Infectious Spondylitis.

Objective: To evaluate and compare the clinical and radiographic features of 25 patients with infectious spondylitis treated with anterior debridement and reconstruction using autogenous bone grafts vs. a metal cage with allogenic bone grafts.

Methods: The study analyzed 25 patients diagnosed with infectious thoracolumbar spondylitis who underwent anterior radical debridement and reconstruction.

Iatrogenic Medial Collateral Ligament Injury by Valgus Stress During Arthroscopic Surgery of the Knee.

Purpose: To evaluate the radiographic and clinical follow-up results of iatrogenic medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries caused by valgus stress during arthroscopic surgery of the knee.

Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 15 knees in 15 patients (8 female and 7 male patients), with a mean age of 58 years (range, 45-66 years), with iatrogenic MCL injuries caused by valgus stress during arthroscopic surgery of the knee. All patients were treated conservatively without an immobilizer or brace.
