Using the biomicroscopy method, we studied the reaction of arterial and venous vessels of the broad ligament of the uterus in outbred female rats to irradiation with helium-neon laser (λ=632.8 nm; power output 2 mW). Small arteries were found to be most sensitive to laser irradiation. The veins of the broad ligament of the uterus demonstrated lower reactivity to laser irradiation of the same duration than arterial vessels, which can be explained by morphological, functional, and hemodynamic differences.

Background: Tobacco use is a known modifiable risk factor for postoperative complications and revision surgery after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Previous studies focus on tobacco as a broad categorization of traditional smoking, smokeless tobacco, and other forms of nicotine use. It is unclear if differences in the type of nicotine used lead to similar adverse outcomes after ACLR.

Adnexal torsion is a well-recognized gynecologic emergency; however, uterine torsion is less well-known. The majority of uterine torsions occur in gravid uteri; torsion in postmenopausal patients is rare. We report a case of uterine and bilateral adnexal torsion in a postmenopausal woman due to a large leiomyoma.

Current trends in the medial side of the knee: not only medial collateral ligament (MCL).

J Orthop Traumatol

December 2024

Clinica Ortopedica E Traumatologica 2, IRCCS Istituto Ortopedico Rizzoli, Via Pupilli, 1, 40136, Bologna, Italy.

Article Synopsis
  • The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is the most frequently injured knee ligament, known for its broad coverage and strong healing capacity due to good blood supply.
  • Past treatment for MCL injuries was mainly conservative, but recent discoveries about the ligament's complex structure and movement have changed this perspective.
  • The review aims to inform readers about new findings on the MCL's anatomy, biomechanics, and the evolving approaches to its treatment.
