Published: August 2010

Three patients were seen for pain and snapping over the lateral aspect of their symptomatic knee during deep knee flexion. On physical examination, each patient had subluxation of the long head of the biceps over the lateral aspect of the fibular head. Each patient underwent an anatomic repair of the torn anterior arms of the short and long biceps femoris to their anatomic insertion sites with suture anchors. All patients had normal return of function without pain or further subluxation events.

Background: Adeno-associated virus (AAV) 8 and 9 are in clinical trials for treating neuromuscular diseases such as Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Muscle consists of myofibres of different types and sizes. However, little is known about the fibre type and fibre size tropism of AAV in large mammals.

Background: Ankle sprains often result in muscle atrophy and reduced range of motion, which can cause long-term ankle instabilities. Understanding the changes to muscle-such as atrophy-and concomitant changes to deep fascia-which may thicken alongside muscle loss-after ankle sprain injury is important to understanding structural changes about the joint and how they might contribute to longer-term impairments. Here, we employ advanced MRI to investigate skeletal muscle and fascial structural changes during the recovery period of one patient undergoing immobilization after ankle sprains.
