Analysis of the Functional Outcome of Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Using the Central Quadriceps Tendon Graft.

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common, particularly among athletes, and often result in knee instability and decreased functionality. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is the standard treatment, typically using a patellar tendon bone graft (PTBG) or hamstring tendon graft (HTG). The central quadriceps tendon graft (QTG) has been proposed as a superior alternative due to its structural properties.

Dorsal Chopart's fracture dislocation - A rare injury.

A rare case of Dorsal Chopart's fracture dislocation after a fall from height is presented. It combines the features of pure dorsal Chopart's dislocation and the longitudinal swivel variant described by Main and Jowett presenting as dorsomedial fracture dislocation of the medial three fourths of the navicular, crushing the lateral one fourth. The possible mechanism of injury has been described.
