A rare case of an irreducible post-traumatic lateral dislocation of elbow is presented. The mechanism of injury was fall on a flexed elbow with trauma on its medial aspect resulting in pronation of the forearm. At open reduction, the brachialis muscle was in the form of a tight band which prevented reduction. The ulnar nerve was entrapped in the joint.

Surgical excision of symptomatic lateral band snapping syndrome in small finger proximal interphalangeal joint.

Lateral band snapping syndrome can be a debilitating condition involving the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint of the fingers. Although rare, it is thought to occur due to disruption of the finger extensor mechanism allowing inappropriate subluxation of the lateral bands over the PIP joint, leading to mechanical and painful symptoms.Here, we describe a woman in her early 40s with a painful, snapping PIP joint secondary to a work-related injury.

Department of Sports Medicine, Peking University Third Hospital; Institute of Sports Medicine of Peking University; Beijing Key Laboratory of Sports Injuries, Beijing, China.
Background: There is a lack of evidence and continuous debate on whether femoral tunnel displacement substantially influences the clinical efficacy of medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) in addressing recurrent patellar dislocation.
Purpose: To investigate possible associations between inaccurate femoral tunnel placement during MPFL-R and clinical outcomes, with a specific focus on proximal tunnel malpositioning.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
Analysis of spatial patellofemoral alignment using novel three-dimensional measurements based on weight-bearing cone-beam CT.

Department of Radiology, The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, Chongqing, China.
Objectives: To propose a reliable and standard 3D assessment method to analyze the effect of weight-bearing (WB) status on the location of patella and clarify the diagnostic performance of 3D parameters for recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD) in WB and non-weight-bearing (NWB) conditions.
Methods: Sixty-five knees of RPD patients and 99 knees of controls were included. Eight landmarks, two lines and a coordinate system were defined on 3D bone models of knees based on weight-bearing CT and non-weight-bearing CT.
Morphological Improvement of the Epiphyseal Plate and Trochlea After Surgical Correction in Skeletally Immature Patients With Patellar Dislocation and Trochlear Dysplasia.

January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Hebei Medical University Third Hospital, Shijiazhuang, China.
Background: Studies have revealed abnormalities of the epiphyseal plate of the distal femur in patients with trochlear dysplasia, but it is unclear whether the epiphyseal plate could be remodeled after surgical correction of patellar dislocation.
Purpose: To investigate whether the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlea could be improved after medial patellar retinaculum plasty in skeletally immature patients and to investigate the correlations between the morphology of the epiphyseal plate and trochlear dysplasia as well as clinical outcomes.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
Correlation Between Radiological Measurements for Patellar Instability and Patient-Reported Outcome Measurements in Adolescents: A Study From the Faroese Knee Cohort.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, National Hospital of the Faroe Islands, Torshavn, Faroe Island.
Background: Radiological measurements can predict patellar dislocation and are used to plan patella-stabilizing surgery in patients who have patellofemoral instability. However, it is unclear whether these measurements can predict subjective symptoms in patients without previous stabilizing surgery.
Study Design: Cross-sectional study; Level of evidence, 3.
