Revision of Failed Nonanatomic Extensor Retinacular Stabilization of the Unstable ECU Tendon: Surgical Technique and Case Series.

Nonanatomic surgical stabilization of the unstable extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) tendon (where the subluxing tendon is re-routed away from the bony groove in the distal ulna) utilizes a flap of extensor retinaculum to create a new retaining sheath that will stabilize the tendon during forearm rotation movements. When this surgery fails, the extensor retinaculum tissue does not regenerate with sufficient structural strength to be used again. Previously, a different approach has then been needed for revision surgery, often using more complex surgical techniques with a substantially greater impact on recovery.

What differences exist between the lead and trail wrist in extensor carpi ulnaris activity and golf swing joint kinematics in sub-elite golfers?

This study assessed the lead and trail arm peak and average extensor carpi ulnaris (ECU) muscle activity in association with tri-planar angular velocities of the lead and trail wrists during the golf swing. Fifteen sub-elite, male right-handed golfers ( = 34.7 years ±13.

Anatomical reconstruction of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament in elite athletes using InternalBrace suture tape.

Aims: The ideal management of acute syndesmotic injuries in elite athletes is controversial. Among several treatment methods used to stabilize the syndesmosis and facilitate healing of the ligaments, the use of suture tape (InternalBrace) has previously been described. The purpose of this study was to analyze the functional outcome, including American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society (AOFAS) scores, knee-to-wall measurements, and the time to return to play in days, of unstable syndesmotic injuries treated with the use of the InternalBrace in elite athletes.

Commonly reported isokinetic parameters do not reveal long-term strength deficits of the Triceps surae complex following operative treatment of Achilles tendon rupture.

Isokinetic strength assessments are common outcome measures following operatively treated Achilles tendon (AT) ruptures. However, there is a lack of clarity on whether commonly reported outcome measures (such as peak joint moment) are sufficient to describe the extent of long-term functional deficits following AT rupture and repair. The present study conducted a comprehensive isokinetic evaluation of the Triceps surae complex in 12 participants who previously underwent AT rupture and repair.

Operating list composition and surgical performance.

Background: Recent reviews suggest that the way in which surgeons prepare for a procedure (warm up) can affect performance. Operating lists present a natural experiment to explore this phenomenon. The aim was to use a routinely collected large data set on surgical procedures to understand the relationship between case list order and operative performance.

Safety and efficacy of a repositionable and fully retrievable aortic valve used in routine clinical practice: the RESPOND Study.

Aims: RESPOND is a prospective, open-label, single-arm study evaluating the outcomes following transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with the repositionable and fully retrievable Lotus Valve used in routine clinical practice for the treatment of patients with aortic valve stenosis.

Methods And Results: RESPOND enrolled 1014 patients at sites across Europe, New Zealand, and Latin America; 996 patients received a Lotus Valve (mean age: 80.8 years; 50.
