Fatigue-induced Landing Alterations in ACL Reconstructed Athletes after Return-to-Sport.

At the time of return-to-sport, anterior cruciate ligament reconstructed athletes still show altered neuromechanics in their injured leg during single leg hopping tasks. Part of these alterations can be magnified when these athletes are fatigued. So far, little is known whether fatigue-induced landing alterations persist after return-to-sport.

Muscle Synergy Constraints Do Not Improve Estimates of Muscle Activity From Static Optimization During Gait for Unimpaired Children or Children With Cerebral Palsy.

Neuromusculoskeletal simulation provides a promising platform to inform the design of assistive devices or inform rehabilitation. For these applications, a simulation must be able to accurately represent the person of interest, such as an individual with a neurologic injury. If a simulation fails to predict how an individual recruits and coordinates their muscles during movement, it will have limited utility for informing design or rehabilitation.

Degenerative changes of the hip following fixation for slipped capital femoral epiphysis: a minimum 18-year follow-up study.

Introduction: fixation (ISF) is currently still the 'gold standard' treatment for slipped capital femoral epiphysis (SCFE) and has shown acceptable results at mid-term follow-up. This study aims to evaluate functional, clinical and radiographic long-term outcomes after this procedure.

Methods: We reviewed 64 SCFE patients (76 SCFE hips) treated with ISF between 1983 and 1998.

Distal Extension of the Anterior Approach to the Hip Using the Femoral Interbundle Technique: Surgical Technique and Case Series.

Background: The direct anterior approach (DAA) is becoming more popular as the standard surgical approach for primary total hip arthroplasty. However, it has been associated with an increased incidence of intraoperative femoral fractures in particular during the learning curve. Distal extension of the approach may be needed in case of intraoperative complications.

The Direct Anterior Approach for Complex Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: The Extensile Acetabular Approach on a Regular Operating Room Table.

Background: The direct anterior approach on a regular operating room table has been reported with low dislocation rates. This might be beneficial for complex primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) such as in patients with cerebral palsy or following femoral or pelvic osteotomies. Extending the approach is often required to overcome problems such as acetabular deformities or severe contractures.

Distal Extension of the Direct Anterior Approach to the Hip: A Cadaveric Feasibility Study.

Background: The direct anterior approach (DAA) is becoming more popular as the standard surgical approach for primary total hip arthroplasty. However, femoral complications of up to 2.8% have been reported.

An algorithm for the surgical treatment of periprosthetic fractures of the femur around a well-fixed femoral component.

The use of plate-and-cable constructs to treat periprosthetic fractures around a well-fixed femoral component in total hip replacements has been reported to have high rates of failure. Our aim was to evaluate the results of a surgical treatment algorithm to use these lateral constructs reliably in Vancouver type-B1 and type-C fractures. The joint was dislocated and the stability of the femoral component was meticulously evaluated in 45 type-B1 fractures.
