Successful ACL reconstruction with a variant of the pes anserinus
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract An anatomical variant of the pes anserinus encountered during anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery which has
not been previously described is discussed. During routine harvesting, the sartorius fascia was incised and the semitendinosus
and gracilis tendons were identified. At the distal portion, it was noted that each tendon gave off an additional tendinous
slip. The slip from the semitendinosus tendon had attached to the gracilis tendon and vice versa, thereby creating a double
pes anserinus. This variant was used to construct the graft, and at 1 year review the patient had return...

We describe a 40-year-old woman with a history of breast cancer who presented
with neck and shoulder pain of 1 week duration with no neurological deficit. Following clinical examination, radiographs taken
of the cervical spine was normal. Radiographs repeated 3 weeks later revealed a large lytic lesion of the odontoid occupying
70–80% of the peg. Further investigation including magnetic resonance imaging and bone scan showed no further spinal lesions.
She underwent cyclical radiotherapy with complete resolution of the odontoid peg lesion and clinically was asymptomatic at
2 years. Metastatic lesions o...

He was treated successfully with ray amputation. The other case was treated primarily by intralesional curettage and autogenous
bone graft. At their most recent follow-ups (80 and 24 months, respectively), both were recurrence free and had returned to
their previous occupational and recreational activities.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions The DM hyperexcitability may be related to alterations in the sensory output from the shoulder. The insufficient facilitation
of the DM points toward a bilateral central activation deficit. These findings seem to be assigned to adaptive changes in
the motor cortex as a consequence of chronic RCT, and the neuromuscular alteration of the DM should be considered when treating
patients with RCT.

Abstract Meniscal ossicle, or bone within the substance of meniscus, is a rare entity and commonly confused with a loose body both
clinically and radiologically. MRI is the modality that can definitely diagnose meniscal ossicle and avoid unnecessary diagnostic
arthroscopy. Here we report one such case diagnosed using MRI; this patient is doing well without surgery one year after
diagnosis.

Abstract Stiffness is a relatively uncommon complication after total knee arthroplasty. It has been defined as a painful limitation
in the range of movement (ROM). Its pathogenesis is still unclear even if some risk factors have been identified. Patient-related
conditions may be difficult to treat. Preoperative ROM is the most important risk factor, but an association with diabetes,
reflex sympathetic dystrophy, and general pathologies such as juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis has
been demonstrated. Moreover, previous surgery may be an additional cause of an ROM limitation. Postoperati...

Conclusions Decrease of blood flow of LFCN by more than 50% seems to cause persistent symptoms after surgery through the Smith-Petersen

Conclusions This unique subgroup of patients, those having fusion from the thoracic spine to the sacrum as adults for adolescent idiopathic

cervical degenerative changes prior to the fusion, it is not possible to blame the fusion as the main cause for these findings.
These changes are either related to the thoracic and lumbar deformities or are more likely due to this subgroup having a higher
natural propensity for degenerative changes.

Abstract The use of uncemented hip arthroplasty prostheses with ceramic articulations are popular, especially in the young, because
of a perceived reduction in wear. We highlight a complication of ceramic on polyethylene articulating couples not previously
described in the Furlong replacement. Despite widespread metalosis and particulate debris, osteolysis was not initially seen.
The contamination compromised subsequent revision.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions ERM for the reduction of acute anterior dislocation of the shoulder is a safe and reliable method, mainly without requirement
for any sedatives or opiate analgesics, that can be performed relatively painlessly for anterior shoulder dislocations. As
no single method has a 100% success rate, ERM is a useful one to know.

UHMWPE for arthroplasty: past or future?Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Abstract Wear debris related osteolysis is recognised as being the main cause of failure in joint replacements based on UHMWPE inserts.
However, many solutions and “new” polyethylenes have been suggested in order to address this issue. This review discusses
“historical” issues associated with UHMWPE, such as oxidation, sterilization method and storage, as well as “new” topics,
such as crosslinking and stabilization. The final aim is to aid orthopaedic surgeons in their selection of polyethylene inserts
and in the information given to the patients. The main problem for the polymer is degradative o...

Femoral neck fracture following intramedullary nailing with misplacement of an end cup: report of two casesEmail this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
We report on two cases of femoral
neck fractures attributed to misplacement of an end cup and subsequent invasive maneuvers in an effort to remove it. Iatrogenic
fractures of the femoral neck during or after intramedullary nailing are reported in the medical literature. Authors associate
it with many possible technical mistakes performed during the procedure, yet no complications after missed end cup placement
were noted. We suggest that the fractures described below were a consequence of injury to the vascular supply and bone stock
of the initially intact femoral neck.

Conclusions The decision-making process leading to ACL reconstruction currently emphasises the evaluation of knee function and patients’
level of activity. The findings in our study, by showing that chronic ACL insufficiency significantly affects HRQoL in otherwise
healthy patients, suggest that a multidimensional evaluation including HRQoL in addition to knee function might be integrated
into outcome assessment.

Abstract The natural history of osteonecrosis of the femoral head is generally thought to be one of progressive deterioration if no
intervention is undertaken. However, it is unknown whether surgical intervention is beneficial for patients with a small region
of osteonecrosis. We observed rapid improvement of MRI findings after rotational acetabular osteotomy (RAO) was performed
in a young patient with osteonecrosis of the femoral head. The band-like low signal area on T2-weighted images almost resolved
by six months after surgery. He returned to work as an electrician by six months after surgery. Early...

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Although the small series does not allow any absolute conclusions to be drawn, the reported results seem to justify further,
wider studies. It is still unclear if osteolytic lesions associated with no wear of the poly liner would progress to implant
failure if left untreated. Until the problem is better understood, this procedure might represent an interesting way to prevent
potential loosening and severe bone loss in intact sockets.

Abstract Dysplasia epiphysealis hemimelica is a rare developmental disorder with unknown etiology affecting epiphysis in childhood.
The lesion is an osteochondroma arising from the epiphysis and increasing in size until skeletal maturity is reached. Surgical
treatment is mandatory when symptoms such as pain, joint impingement or deformation are present, and yields good results when
the mass is juxtaarticular or extraarticular. In those cases where articular symptoms are not present and only mass evolution
is observed, surgical treatment is not recommended before skeletal maturity has been reached. A case of ...

Abstract The authors report a case of acute knee injury in a 14-year-old teenager. The X-ray showed a so-called Segond’s fracture:
a small avulsed bone fragment, elliptical in shape, lying immediately below the external tibial plateau, a few millimeters
from the lateral tibial cortex. The fracture site was in the portion of the tibial condyle which is linked to the middle third
of the lateral capsule by meniscal tibial fibers. Clinical examination under anesthesia and subsequent arthroscopy revealed
a total intrasubstance ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tear close to the proximal insertion. The authors co...
