Published: July 2018

A 22-year-old female presented at our hospital with a spontaneous extension deficit of the left knee. Examination revealed a luxation of the semitendinosus tendon under an osteochondroma on the posteromedial side of the proximal tibia. The tendon was repositioned by flexion and endorotation of the knee. Subsequently, the osteochondroma was surgically resected to prevent recurrence of the complaints.

Multirotor drones are widely used in fields such as environmental monitoring, agricultural inspection, and package delivery, but they still face numerous challenges in durability and aerial operation capabilities. To address these issues, this paper presents a biomimetic leg-claw mechanism (LCM) inspired by the biomechanics of birds. The claw of the LCM adopts a bistable gripper design that can rapidly close through external impact or actively close via the coordination of internal mechanisms.

Background: The number of meniscal repairs being completed each year is increasing; however, the optimal, cost-effective postoperative assessment to determine the success or failure of a meniscal repair is not well known.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this systematic review was to identify the clinical examination testing that correlates with objective magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or second-look arthroscopy (SLA) findings to determine an optimal clinical workup for assessing postoperative meniscal repair healing. It was hypothesized that specific clinical tests would correlate with meniscal repairs that did not heal.

We sought to examine how resistance training (RT) status in young healthy individuals, either well resistance trained (T, n=10) or untrained (UT, n=11), affected molecular markers with leg immobilization followed by recovery RT. All participants underwent two weeks of left leg immobilization via a locking leg brace. Afterwards, all participants underwent eight weeks (3 d/week) of knee extensor focused progressive RT.

Treatment of posterolateral tibial plateau fractures through the articular line approach.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

January 2025

Department of Orthopedics, Lishui Central Hospital, Zhejiang, 323000, China.

Background: Posterolateral tibial plateau fractures pose significant challenges for orthopedic surgeons due to the anatomical risks associated with the posterolateral approach. Despite numerous surgical techniques available, there lacks a consensus on the optimal approach.

Methods: Articular line incision approach was employed on 12 patients suffering from posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.

Introduction: Distal femur fractures present significant surgical challenges due to their complex anatomy and limited soft tissue coverage. Minimally invasive plate osteosynthesis (MIPO) has emerged as a promising alternative to traditional open techniques, aiming to reduce soft-tissue damage while maintaining stable fixation, particularly when used with locking plates.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 40 consecutive patients with distal femur fractures treated with MIPO and locking plates.
