Peroneus Longus Tendon Autograft for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Safe and Effective Alternative in Nonathletic Patients.

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a common injury which has been conventionally managed by various graft reconstruction using bone patellar tendon bone, or quadruple hamstring autograft, to name a few. However, all these grafts are associated with many complications. Lately, peroneus longus tendon (PLT) autograft has shown promising results in this field, although there is still a dearth of data on its use.

Evaluation of Diagnostic Accuracy of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Posterior Ligamentum Complex Injury of Thoracolumbar Spine.

Study Design: Prospective diagnostic imaging study.

Purpose: The stability of the thoracic and lumbar spine depends significantly on the posterior ligamentum complex (PLC). Therefore, it is essential to diagnose PLC injuries accurately before deciding on a treatment plan for thoracolumbar injury patients.
