Is antero-lateral complex of knee joint of critical importance in restoring rotational instability in patients with anterior cruciate ligament tear?

Antero-lateral ligament complex (ALC) is a vital structure for maintaining rotational stability of the knee. Evaluation of ALC radiologically (MRI) is still unpopular in setting of anterior cruciate ligament injury. A dire necessity exists for the orthopedic surgeons in outdoor patient department settings to rule out involvement of ALC.

Blinded randomized crossover trial: Skin-to-skin care vs. sucrose for preterm neonatal pain.

Objective: To compare skin-to-skin care (SSC) and oral sucrose for preterm neonatal pain control.

Methods: Preterm neonates (28-36 weeks gestation) requiring heel-stick were eligible. In group-A, SSC was given 15-min before first heel-stick, and sucrose was given 2-min before second heel-stick.
