Treatment of kyphotic deformity in Kümmell's disease through vertebral body screw fixation and intertransverse process grafting: A case report.

Rationale: Kümmell's disease, also well acknowledged as delayed posttraumatic vertebral body collapse, it is a rare condition which mainly occurs in elderly people more than 50 years old, with the thoracolumbar junction being mostly affected.

Patient Concerns: In this research, we employed posterior short-segment screw fixation within the injured vertebral region, coupled with intertransverse process bone grafting, to address Kümmell's disease. A 57-year-old female was admitted to our institution with incapacitating back pain and obvious kyphotic deformity.

Modified classifications and surgical decision-making process for chronic anterior talofibular ligament injuries based on the correlation of imaging studies and arthroscopic findings.

Purpose: Surgical treatment of chronic ankle instability (CAI) typically includes ligament repair or reconstruction. Using preoperative ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to choose an appropriate arthroscopic procedure is still difficult. The aim of this study was to evaluate the correlation of imaging studies with arthroscopic findings and support the arthroscopic surgical decision-making process.

Arthroscopic Suture-Bridge Repair Technique for an Avulsion of the Talar Insertion of the Anterior Talofibular Ligament.

There are several studies about arthroscopic repair techniques for the lesion of the anterior talofibular ligament. However, the research concentrating on the avulsion of the talar insertion of the anterior talofibular ligament is very rare. Among 122 patients who suffered from recurrent ankle sprain and underwent arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament repair from October 2016 to January 2019 in our hospital, 11 patients with an avulsion of the talar insertion of this ligament were diagnosed and then treated with the arthroscopic suture-bridge repair technique in the present study.

Absorbable suture anchor and knotless anchor techniques produced similar outcomes in arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament repair.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to compare absorbable suture anchor with knotless anchor techniques for arthroscopic anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL) repair.

Method: A multicenter retrospective study was performed with 185 patients, who had undergone an arthroscopic ATFL repair procedure using absorbable suture anchor or knotless anchor between May 2017 and October 2019. The follow-up time was a minimum of 18 months.

Modified mini-incision "internal splinting" versus percutaneous repair technique of acute Achilles tendon rupture: five year retrospective case-controlled study.

Purpose: Several kinds of minimally invasive surgical techniques are applied to acute Achilles tendon rupture. The risks of sural never injury and re-ruptures are still major issues. The purpose of this study was to compare the middle-term results of two different minimally invasive repair techniques for acute Achille tendon rupture.

Nonoperative treatment of insertional Achilles tendinopathy: a systematic review.

Background: Insertional Achilles tendinopathy is difficult to manage, and there is no definite consensus on which nonoperative treatment is superior over the others. We aim to provide a clear summary of the best available evidence for nonoperative treatment specific to insertional Achilles tendinopathy.

Methods: Literatures were searched in PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases from inception to October 2020.

Using arthroscopy combined with fluoroscopic technique for accurate location of the bone tunnel entrance in chronic ankle instability treatment.

Background: Minimally invasive reconstruction techniques are used for anatomical ligament construction of the lateral collateral ligament complex of the ankle, but the two key elements, the bone tunnel and the appropriate graft tension, for the identification of the anatomic location during the surgery are not clearly stated.

Methods: The patients with chronic ankle instability who received arthroscopic anatomic lateral ligament complex reconstruction were retrospectively analyzed. The anatomical location of the bone tunnel was performed under arthroscopy combined with fluoroscopy for accurate location of the bone tunnel entrance.

Endoscopic "internal splinting" repair technique for acute Achilles tendon rupture.

Introduction: Recently, endoscopically assisted Achilles tendon repair techniques have improved to overcome the surgical complications. However, the risk of sural nerve injury and the strength of repair are still the most concerning aspects.

Material And Methods: Twenty three patients with acute Achilles tendon rupture were reviewed in the present study.

Does arthroscopic repair show superiority over open repair of lateral ankle ligament for chronic lateral ankle instability: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: There is still no definite consensus on whether arthroscopic repair shows superiority over open repair for chronic lateral ankle instability. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the current comparative studies to make a generalized analysis.

Methods: PubMed, Embase, and Web of Science databases were searched from inception to April 2020.

Surgical approach strategies for open reduction internal fixation of closed complex tibial Pilon fractures based on axial CT scans.

Background: To explore the application and clinical efficacy of surgical approach strategies in open reduction internal fixation of closed complex tibial Pilon fractures based on axial CT scans.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study included data of 25 patients with closed complex tibial Pilon fractures treated from October 2011 to March 2014, including 19 males and 6 females aged 18-54 years (average 39.5 years).

Minimally invasive dual incision with mini plate internal fixation improves outcomes over 30 months in 20 patients with Sanders type III calcaneal fractures.

Background: Calcaneal Sanders type III or higher fractures traditionally have been treated with open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF); however, ORIF has associated complications. We investigated a combination of minimally invasive dual incision and internal fixation using mini plates for treating Sanders type III calcaneal fractures.

Methods: Twenty patients with Sanders type III intra-articular calcaneal fractures with a posterior subtalar articular displacement > 2 mm were included.
