With high-resolution MR imaging, the collateral ligament of the elbow can be directly evaluated; thus ligamentous injuries can be detected, localized, and graded. The functional anatomy of the ligaments of the elbow is reviewed. The normal appearance of the ligaments on MR images as well as the clinical and MR imaging findings of medial and lateral collateral ligament injury are presented.

Posteromedial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy has favourable outcomes in simultaneous medial meniscus posterior root repair and varus medial knee osteoarthritis patients without concomitant root tear.

Purpose: To evaluate the radiological and clinical outcomes in two patient groups: first, varus aligned medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) patients who underwent posteromedial open wedge high tibial osteotomy (PMOWHTO) and simultaneous root repair; second, patients with varus medial knee osteoarthritis without MMPRT who underwent PMOWHTO.
Methods: Patients had MMPRT repair concomitant with PMOWHTO and varus medial knee osteoarthritis without concomitant root tear patients who underwent PMOWHTO and were reviewed. Radiographic parameters, medial meniscus extrusion (MME) and Knee Society Scores [KSSs, including the following subscores: knee score (KS) and knee function score (KFS)] were evaluated.

Ganglion cysts are commonly found in areas of constant mechanical stress such as the joints and tendons of the wrist or hand as well as the anterior aspect of the ankle. In the knee, parameniscal cysts are often encountered secondary to meniscal tears or articular degeneration. Intra-articular ganglion cysts are uncommon and often arise from the cruciate ligaments and are found in the intercondylar notch.

Total talus replacement has been demonstrated to increase ankle instability. However, no studies have explored how to enhance postoperative stability. This study aims to explore the effect of collateral ligament reconstruction on ankle stability by finite element analysis.

Literature regarding osteochondral lesions in patients following elbow dislocation is scarce. The aim of this study was to examine osteochondral lesions on MRI in patients following simple elbow dislocations and evaluate inter-rater reliability between radiologists and orthopedic surgeons at different levels of experience. In this retrospective, single-center study, 72 MRIs of patients following simple elbow dislocations were evaluated.

: Multiligament knee injuries, involving damage to multiple stabilizing structures, present a significant challenge in orthopedic surgery, often resulting in knee instability and compromised function. While anatomic ligament reconstruction has been traditionally advocated, non-anatomic techniques may provide effective alternatives, particularly for patients with moderate functional demands who do not require high-level athletic performance. : In this study, we assessed the outcomes of a non-anatomic, hybrid surgical approach involving combined arthroscopic and open non-anatomic ligament reconstruction in 60 patients with multiligament knee injuries.
