Published: December 2017

The aim of this study is to develop an economical suture board for practising suturing skills and techniques. Suture boards were made by using local electric boards, small leather patch, four suction buttons, six screws and a hook. These suture boards are multipurpose boards which are economical and available all the time in department for practicing. This board can also be placed in endotrainer for laparoscopic suturing skills. This economical suture board is cheap, easily available and helps in practicing various suturing and knot tying techniques.

Purpose: This study aims to compare the biomechanical performance of elastic and static suture-based cerclage systems to traditional screw constructs in the setting of modeled glenoid bony augmentation.

Methods: Biomechanical testing was conducted on polyurethane cellular foam blocks modeling a 20 % glenoid defect repaired with a coracoid graft. Constructs consisted of an elastic suture-based cerclage, static suture-based cerclage, and a two-screw construct.

Clinical outcomes of arthroscopic modified suture augmentation versus InternalBrace™ reconstruction in the treatment of chronic ankle instability.

BMC Musculoskelet Disord

Department of Sports Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Speed Capability, The Guangzhou Key Laboratory of Precision Orthopedics and Regenerative Medicine, Jinan University, Guangzhou, 510630, PR China.

Background: At present, the modified suture augmentation (MSA) repair and the InternalBrace™ (IB) reconstruction techniques are commonly used for the treatment of chronic ankle instability (CAI). This study aimed to evaluate and compare the clinical efficacy of the MSA repair and IB reconstruction techniques, providing a reference for clinical practice.

Methods: After propensity score matching, 50 patients with CAI between May 2021 and May 2022 were included in this retrospective study.

Background: Rotator cuff repairs may fail because of compromised blood supply, suture anchor pullout, or poor fixation to bone. To augment the repairs and promote healing of the tears, orthobiologics, such a platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and biologic scaffolds have been applied with mixed results. Adipose allograft matrix (AAM), which recruits native cells to damaged tissues, may also be a potential treatment for rotator cuff tears.

Background: Superficial temporal artery (STA)-middle cerebral artery (MCA) side-to-side microvascular anastomosis can achieve the same clinical effects as traditional STA-MCA end-to-side anastomosis in extracranial-intracranial revascularization surgery, furthermore, STA-MCA side-to-side anastomosis has the lower risk of postoperative cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome (CHS) and the potential to recruit all scalp arteries as the donor sources via self-regulation. Therefore, STA-MCA side-to-side microvascular anastomosis seems to be a revascularization strategy superior to traditional STA-MCA end-to-side anastomosis. In this study, we presented seven cases in which a STA-MCA side-to-side microvascular anastomosis was performed with a 4-5 mm long arteriotomy using the in-situ intraluminal suturing technique.

To the best of our knowledge, there are no reports on the results of the repair of radial tears of the midbody of the complete discoid lateral meniscus (DLM). A 14-year-old female underwent meniscal replacement with autologous tendon transplantation for early re-tear after repair of the radial tear in the midbody of complete DLM. Two years after the tendon transplantation, there was no effusion or swelling, and the patient was able to exercise completely without symptoms.
