Increased Lateral Femoral Condyle Ratio Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is Associated With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rerupture.

Purpose: To investigate the association between lateral femoral condyle ratio (LFCR) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rerupture after anatomic ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and to compare the diagnostic accuracy between MRI and radiograph measurements.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent anatomic ACLR in our institution between 2015 and 2018. Patients who experienced rerupture after ACLR were identified and matched 1:1 with control patients who showed no evidence of graft failure during a minimum 48-month follow-up.

Medial wall fragment involving large posterior cortex in pertrochanteric femur fractures: a notable preoperative risk factor for implant failure.

Introduction: To introduce a classification for medial wall fragments in pertrochanteric femur fractures and investigate potential preoperative predictors of implant failure following fixation.

Material And Methods: Medical records of 324 adult patients receiving routine operative treatment using intramedullary devices for pertrochanteric femur fractures with medial wall fragments between August 2008 and May 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. Potential predictors including age, gender, body mass index, comorbidities, AO/OTA classification of fractures were noted.

The relationship between serum anti-Müllerian hormone levels and the follicular arrest for women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

The aim of this study was to ascertain whether higher levels of serum anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) are associated with the ovarian follicular arrest in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). This prospective study compared AMH levels between serum and dominant follicular fluid (FF) in ovulatory polycystic ovary (PCO) women and anovulatory (menstrual cycle ≥60 days.) PCOS women.
