Objective: To explore clinical effect of arthroscopic modification of triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) combined with oblique osteotomy shortening of distal ulna in treating ulna impact syndrome.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on 49 patients with ulnar impingement syndrome admitted from 2017 to 2021, 3 patients were lost to follow-up, and 46 patients were finally included in study, including 23 males and 23 females, aged from 21 to 53 years old with an average of (36.5±3.
Article Synopsis
- The ipsilateral peroneus longus tendon (PLT) was used as an alternative autograft for ACL reconstruction in patients with acute ACL ruptures and grade III MCL injuries, and its efficacy was compared to autologous hamstring tendon (HT).
- Biomechanical tests showed that both doubled PLT and quadrupled HT had greater ultimate tensile strength than the native ACL, indicating strong graft performance, with PLT being comparable to HT.
- Clinical evaluations revealed no significant differences in knee stability, function, or biomechanical outcomes for the donor ankle between the two graft options, suggesting PLT is a viable choice for ACL reconstruction in these cases.
