Objective: To improve postoperative outcomes in patients with closed patellar fractures using a new method of surgical treatment.

Material And Methods: The authors proposed a new method of patellar osteosynthesis. Technique of osteosynthesis is described, and surgical scheme is presented. Treatment outcomes were analyzed in 68 patients with closed patellar fractures. The control group consisted of 34 patients who underwent Weber osteosynthesis. The authors assessed clinical and radiological data. Moreover, clinical example of a patient with traumatic closed patellar fracture and illustrations of surgical treatment are presented.

Results: Clinical data indicate the advantage of treatment in the main group.

Introduction: Acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can be disabling because of prolonged rehabilitation process following surgical reconstructions. Rates of ACL injuries among military service members are close to 10 times greater than the general civilian population, likely because of the operation tempo and the unique physical requirements. Studies debated functional testing requirements for return to sports, but no study investigated the impact of functional training and re-injury rates following ACL reconstruction and their association with functional testing outcomes and time to return to full duty in United States Naval Academy (USNA) Midshipmen.

Proximal tibial osteotomies for treating grade IV medial patellar luxation in two feline stifles.

Top Companion Anim Med

January 2025

OrtopediaVet Veterinary Clinic, Dr. Eloy Curuci and team. Volta Redonda Street, 670 - Campo Belo, São Paulo, State of São Paulo 04608-011, Brazil.

Objectives: There is a lack of literature regarding the surgical management of high-grade patellar luxation in cats. Among the available options, corrective osteotomies are suitable for correcting severe bone deformities. Therefore, this study aimed to report on the surgical management of grade IV medial patellar luxation (MPL) through tibial corrective osteotomies in two cats.

Background: To compare the efficacy of intramedullary nailing via the lateral parapatellar approach versus the infrapatellar approach in treating fractures at the tibial metaphyseal-diaphyseal junction.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of 45 patients with proximal or distal tibial fractures treated with intramedullary nailing via lateral parapatellar approach (n = 23) or infrapatellar approach (n = 22) between January 2019 and March 2023. We recorded and compared the operative time, intraoperative blood loss/fluoroscopies, success rate of closed reduction, anteroposterior and lateral entry point accuracy, postoperative infection, fracture healing time, as well as NRS pain scores, Lysholm knee function scores, and knee range of motion.

Frequent complications of deficient patellae after component removal in 1.5-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection.

Arch Orthop Trauma Surg

December 2024

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kyung Hee University College of Medicine, Kyung Hee University Medical Center, 26 Kyunghee-daero, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul, 02447, Korea.

Purpose: To compare the complication rates between deficient patellae (remnant patellae after component removal) and non-resurfaced patellae after 1.5-stage exchange arthroplasty for periprosthetic joint infection and identify risk factors for complications of deficient patellae.

Methods: Complications in 76 deficient patellae (group D) and 41 non-resurfaced patellae (group N), with a minimum follow-up of 2 years after 1.

Introduction: Persistent right umbilical vein (PRUV) is an embryonic vascular abnormality. Recent studies suggested that the perinatal outcome was good and the risk of aneuploidy was low in isolated forms. Our purpose in this study was to assess the relation of PRUV with genetic abnormalities and demonstrate concomitant malformations and perinatal outcomes of these fetuses.
