Peripheral tears to the articular disk of the triangular fibrocartilage complex are fairly common. Patients complain of ulnar-sided wrist pain with ulnar deviation and forearmrotation along the prestyloid recess. The peripheral tears of the articular disk are amenable to arthroscopic repair due to its blood supply. All-arthroscopic knotless repair of peripheral ulnar-sided tears of the articular disk has several advantages. This technique allows for repair of the superficial and deep layers of the articular disk directly down to bone. In addition, by being knotless, it avoids irritation to the surrounding soft tissues by suture knots. This article describes arthroscopic repair of peripheral ulnar-sided tears of the articular disk down to bone with a knotless technique.

Posteromedial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy has favourable outcomes in simultaneous medial meniscus posterior root repair and varus medial knee osteoarthritis patients without concomitant root tear.
J Orthop Surg Res

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Faculty of Medicine, Ege University, Bornova, 35100, Izmir, Turkey.
Purpose: To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes in two patient groups: first, varus aligned medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) patients who underwent posteromedial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (PMOWHTO) and simultaneous root repair; second, patients with varus medial knee osteoarthritis without MMPRT who underwent PMOWHTO.
Methods: Patients had MMPRT repair concomitant with PMOWHTO and varus medial knee osteoarthritis without concomitant root tear patients who underwent PMOWHTO and were reviewed. Radiographic parameters, medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and Knee Society Scores [KSSs, including the following subscores: knee score (KS) and knee function score (KFS)] were evaluated.
Editorial Commentary: The Free Floating Disc Shaped Polycarbonate-Urethane Meniscal Implant Has High Reoperation Rates at 24 Months Follow-up.

A free-floating disc shaped polycarbonate-urethane ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene fiber reinforced medial compartment implant is designed for symptomatic postmedial meniscectomy syndrome. Because it is not sutured into place, an intact 2mm meniscus rim with intact anterior and posterior meniscal horns are required. In a recent 24-month follow-up study, only 64% of the original implants were retained.

: The aim of the present study was to establish a cut-off value of the Lipid Layer Pattern (LLP) between participants with different subtypes of Dry Eye Disease (DED) including Deficient Dry Eye (ADDE), Evaporative Dry Eye (EDE), and Mixed Dry Eye (MDE). : 240 participants diagnosed with DED according to the Tear Film and Ocular Surface Society in the Dry Eye Workshop II guidelines were included in the study. Tear Meniscus Height (TMH) using the Tearscope illumination and Meibomian Gland Loss Area (MGLA) using the Keratograph 5M were assessed to categorize the participants into an ADDE group, EDE group, or MDE group.

Popliteal cysts (PCs) are occasionally accompanied by knee osteoarthritis (OA) and varus malalignment. However, whether concomitant arthroscopic excision of PCs with medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) improves the osteoarthritic environment remains unclear. Therefore, this study assessed serial changes in C-size, medial meniscus extrusion (MME), and cartilage status for up to 2 years following an MOWHTO.

Background: Using hydrogels for the controlled release of drugs is beneficial for patients, who then receive the proper dose of the medicinal substance. In addition, the formulation can provide more consistent drug absorption while reducing the frequency of dosing.
Objectives: The aim of this investigation is to propose a novel HA (sodium hyaluronate)-based hydrogel for intra-articular injection doped with synthetic polymers and incorporated with bupivacaine hydrochloride (Bu) as a local anesthetic.
