Functional Outcomes of Nuts-in-Jelly Mosaicplasty.

Introduction: Interspace defects after osteochondral autograft transfer (OATS) are filled only with fibrocartilage. Attempts have been made to address these issues in OATS with procedures like mega OATS and Hexagonal Osteochondral Graft System. We have described the functional outcomes of a hybrid technique combining a regeneration and a restoration modality to address the interspace defect in OATS.

Evaluating transosseous anchorless repair for arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery: a comparative study with double row anchor repair.

Background: This retrospective observational study compared outcomes of arthroscopic rotator cuff surgery using double row anchor repair (DRR) versus transosseous anchorless repair (TAR) in patients with small to large full-thickness rotator cuff tears.

Methods: A total of 42 patients underwent DRR (n=20) or TAR (n=22) between January 2022 and May 2023. Patients were matched based on age, sex, body mass index, and tear severity.

Effect of ascending and descending medial open wedge high tibial osteotomy on patella height and functional outcomes-a retrospective study.

Background: High tibial osteotomy (HTO) is a popular joint-preserving option for medial compartmental osteoarthritis. However, this is associated with alterations in the patellar height (PH) and tibial slope (TS). This study aims to compare the effect of ascending (AMHTO) and descending medial opening wedge HTO (DMHTO) on patella height, posterior tibial slope and functional outcomes.

Tibial plateau slopes in Indian patients with or without anterior cruciate ligament injury: a magnetic resonance imaging study.

Purpose: To compare anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)-injured and ACL-intact patients as well as males and females in terms of tibial plateau slopes to determine their association with ACL injury.

Methods: Magnetic resonance images (MRI) of the knee of 310 male and 179 female skeletally mature Indian patients (mean age, 40 years) with (n=170+29) or without (n=140+150) ACL injury were reviewed. Their medial and lateral tibial plateau slopes (MTPS and LTPS), medial tibial plateau depth (MTPD), and lateral tibial plateau height (LTPH) were measured using MRI.
