The aim of this study was to assess the results of 32 cases of chronic ankle instability. These were treated by ligament shortening and reinforced with an inferior extensor retinaculum flap. All patients complained of persistent functional instability unrelieved with proprioceptive exercises. Results were assessed clinically (pain, instability, recovery of sports activity, mobility) and radiologically (correction of laxity on stress x-rays). This enabled us to draw up a revision score on a scale of 100 points. We obtained a mean score of 86.7 points (45-100 points), and subjective results showed that 88% of the patients were satisfied with the surgery.

Revision quadriceps tendon repair: A case series and technique guide to a novel repair.
Trauma Case Rep
February 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, University at Buffalo, Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences, Buffalo, NY 14203, United States of America.
Introduction: Revision quadriceps tendon repair is a challenging problem. In this four-case series, novel quadriceps tendon revision resulted in improved range of motion and durable repair for patients with recurrent rupture.
Methods: Our technique includes a combination of a running locked #5 FiberWire or 2 mm SutureTape suture placed through parallel medial, lateral, and central drill holes in the patella with running Krackow-type quadriceps tendon repair medially and laterally resulting in four strands, delivering the vastus medialis and medial quadriceps tendon to an anatomic repair at the superior pole of the patella, with 2 sutures passed centrally and 1 each passed medially and laterally and then tied.
Morphological, Morphometrical and Radiological Features of the Pelvic Limb Skeleton in African Green Monkeys () from Saint Kitts and Nevis Islands.
Animals (Basel)
January 2025
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine, Basseterre P.O. Box 334, Saint Kitts and Nevis.
The paper presents a detailed gross anatomical description of the elements of the pelvic limb in the African green monkey and provides comparative and differential elements on pelvic limb monkey osteology. The osteometric investigation adds value to the gross morphological and radiological investigation, adjoining metric data to the gross descriptive data set. The main methodology used was the gross morphological investigation, doubled by regular osteometrical and radiographical assessments.

Introduction: the tendency in the rehabilitation is to train specifically to the lumbopelvic girdle muscles, to give stability and segmentary control of the same.
Objective: to evaluate the isokinetic lumbopelvic in the patient's functional qualities with a dynamic instrumentation system (Accuflex).
Material And Methods: post-operated patients of spinal stenosis by means of dynamic liberation and fixation (Accuflex).
A comparative study on the efficacy of kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture internal fixation versus partial patellectomy in the treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures.
BMC Musculoskelet Disord
January 2025
Department of Orthopedic Surgery, The Second Hospital Affiliated to Shenyang Medical College, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China.
Objective: The treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures has long posed a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. This study aims to compare the biomechanical stability and clinical efficacy of Kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture fixation versus traditional partial patellectomy in the treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 14 patients who underwent Kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture fixation (Group A) in our department of orthopedics from September 2020 to April 2022.
