Article Synopsis
  • Active venous leg ulcers (VLU) are a serious form of chronic venous disease that drastically impact patients' health and quality of life, prompting economic concerns due to the need for treatment.* ! -
  • The study describes three patients with active VLUs treated through endovenous laser ablation (EVLA), which involved using specific laser energy protocols to target severe great saphenous vein reflux.
  • Follow-up results showed significant healing of the ulcers and reduced venous clinical severity scores, indicating that EVLA is a safe and effective treatment for patients with VLUs.

Comparing a pedicled single-limbed quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft to a matched gracilis autograft (GT) group with bone tunnel anchors for patellar instability, the QT group showed similar outcome yet markedly improved complication rates involving the saphenous nerve and no anterior knee pain. These findings are reassuring for the QT usage as an option to GT autograft. Multiple systematic reviews have clearly shown that allograft medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction has similar outcomes to autograft and is a viable option.
