Deficits in hamstring-quadriceps muscle strength, motor coordination and proprioception were still found in both groups. We therefore recommend that long-term follow-up and rehabilitation including neuromuscular exercises should be continued for longer than one year after ACL reconstruction.

The interposition of the soft tissues on the medial aspect of the joint into the femoral condyle and tibial plateau is shown to be the cause of an unsuccessful reduction. In such cases, open reduction is the recommended method of treatment. In our study, we presented a 16-year-old male with an open knee dislocation after a motorcycle accident. As our closed reduction attempt failed, open joint reduction and repair of the medial collateral ligament and retinaculum was performed in the first stage of treatment. In the second stage, arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament and posterior cruciate ligament reconstructions were carried out. ...

Radiographs showed a calcified soft tissue mass in the Hoffa' s fat pad. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the lesion had a generalized heterogeneous hypointensity on T1- and T2-weighted images and a poorly defined margin. The lesion was excised arthroscopically, and histopathological examination revealed fat pad adipocyte necrosis, mucoid degeneration, and dystrophic calcification, suggesting Hoffa's disease. The present report indicates that Hoffa' s disease can occur in elderly patients with no trauma history, can be associated with a calcified lesion on radiographs, and can be linked to infrapatellar fat pad degeneration in such patients.

However, when the forearm comes close to the neutral rotation, due to the lateral location of the proximal insertion, the brachioradialis muscle loses this pronator effect. The additional release or lengthening of contracted soft tissues increases the range of pronation.

Even though there was no evidence of immunodeficiency, the presence of atopic eczema in the big toe of the affected limb could interfere with the immune system response, and therefore, could be associated with pyomyositis. The increasing incidence of pyomyositis in non-tropical areas and its severe complications requires an acute clinical awareness.

Various dorsoulnar flap options have been used in the regional flap armamentarium of the upper limb. Poor venous drainage may be a considerable handicap when moderate to large skin paddle dorsoulnar flaps are used. In the present case, we aimed to reduce the risk of necrosis by supercharging the dorsoulnar island flap. The current literature regarding dorsoulnar island flap has also been reviewed withfocuson this flap. This technique has successfully been used for a complex wrist defect in a 48-year-old man.

The patient was undiagnosed during the first year of his symptoms. After surgical removal of the tumor, his complaints were resolved. The pathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of osteoid osteoma. Osteoid osteoma is an unusual bone tumor of the foot. It should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients exhibiting foot pain. In speculative cases with no obvious radiographic findings, further imaging studies, such as CT, should be considered.

The synovial folds occupy more space between the patella and femur in the early stages of life than seen in adults. This may be a more frequent cause of unexplained knee pain in children than expected.

Patellar involvement is quite rare. Its development on the basis of any previous lesion such as chondroblastoma is called secondary aneurysmal bone cyst. A 26-year-old male patient presented with right knee pain of three-year history. Physical examination showed a firm, immobile swelling at the anterior aspect of the right knee, without increase in temperature or redness of the skin. There was no pain on palpation and joint range of motion was normal. Radiological studies were suggestive of an aneurysmal bone cyst.

They are most frequently found in the nail bed of the hands, and their occurrence in other parts of the body is rare. A 75-year-old man presented with left anterior knee pain of 30-year history, that became more intense with light touch or clothing and increased in severity despite medical treatment. Physical examination showed a painful, soft, mobile, red-purple colored mass, 2x2 cm in size, at the inferior border of the patella.

Evolutionary as well as individual lifestyle changes can lead to the radiographic appearance of the linea aspera-pilaster complex as the track sign. This rare feature is known to radiologists and anthropologists as a normal roentgen and anatomical variant. However, its knowledge is less common even amongst experienced senior orthopedic surgeons. The track sign can be readily confused with the pathological 'flame sign' of Paget's disease leading to unnecessary investigations. This case report intends to increase awareness amongst experienced and trainee orthopedic surgeons alike, of the physiological existence of the track sign. PMID: 21088469 [PubMed - as suppli...

A 34-year-old man working in a printing house presented one hour after guillotine amputation involving all ten digits. Surgery was initiated 80 minutes after admission and took seven hours. Under axillary anesthesia, the operation was performed by two teams each consisting of two microsurgeons and two assistants. Replantation was completed without the use of any skin graft or flap. Fingertip examination showed poor arterial circulation in the second, third, and fourth digits of the left hand after 24 hours of replantation and surgical exploration was performed, during which anastomosis of the ulnar digital artery of the second digit was re-established and ...

Plain x-rays and magnetic resonance imaging showed an osteochondral defect in the medial third of the capitellum. At surgery, as a new technique, the lateral collateral ligament was detached from the humeral attachment to provide access to the capitellum with a clear and perpendicular exposure. Following removal of loose fragments within the joint, an osteochondral graft harvested from the lateral femoral condyle was implanted to the defect area of the capitellum. Postoperative radiologic controls showed that the defect was entirely filled by the graft with appropriate graft...

During flexor tendoplasty for a zone II flexor tendon injury in the index finger, duplication of the radial and ulnar digital nerves was detected at the level of the proximal phalanx, making a total of four digital nerves. Both radial and ulnar digital nerves gave off branches at the level of the metacarpophalangeal joint that ran to the distal index finger. One of digital nerves on the radial side was cut at the level of the proximal phalanx and was treated with neurorrhaphy. Complete sensory recovery in the distal area of the index finger was achieved within a follow-up of six months. Such variations in the digital nerves may lead to insufficient repai...

Most cases involve the lunate or scaphoid bones in the wrist. Two twin sisters aged 23 years were examined for the complaint of left-sided wrist pain. Physical examination and radiologic findings showed unilateral and symmetrical lesions in the left scaphoid bone suggesting intraosseous ganglions. Both patients underwent ganglion excision and grafting using autografts taken from the ipsilateral distal radius. Both patients were free of wrist pain during a three-year follow-up. Histopathologic examination of the excised lesions was consistent with intraosseous ganglion. Unilateral and symmetrical involvement of the same bone in these twin sisters sugge...

Both patients (females, aged 64 and 65 years) sustained injuries when they lost balance and tried to grab something to prevent falling during hanging curtains on a chair. One patient developed brachial plexus palsy due to prolonged hanging position. Shoulder dislocations were successfully reduced by closed reduction. Both patients were followed-up for 1.5 years, during which no decrease in range of motion, strength loss, or shoulder instability were seen.

A 34-year-old woman presented with severe right-sided pain in the shoulder, arm, neck, and hemithorax, and numbness in her right upper extremity. Systemic radiographs, cervical and brachial plexus magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and thorax computed tomography (CT) did not show any pathology. In a retrospective review of the shoulder MRI sections, an edematous appearance was noted in the right clavicle and adjacent soft tissues, suggesting a stress fracture of the clavicle.

We performed anconeus interposition arthroplasty in a 31-year-old male patient who developed heterotopic ossification (HTO) in the elbow following surgical treatment of an isolated radial neck fracture. Treatment with implant removal and excision of the radial head resulted in recurrent HTO and a stiff elbow. The patient underwent excision of the heterotrophic new bone and mobilization of the proximal radius. The anconeus muscle was mobilized and interposed between the proximal radius and ulna.

He presented with complaints of pain, swelling, and locking following sports activities. Magnetic resonance imaging showed completely detached loose bodies causing instability. Arthroscopic treatment was performed including in situ fixation of the condylar lesion and debridement of patellar lesions. At six-month follow-up, he had full range of motion of the knee joint, with some pain in the patellar grind test.
