We present the short-term patient reported outcome measures (PROMS) for a large series of bicompartmental (segmental) knee resurfacing involving combined medial unicompartmental and patellofemoral joi...

3D CT planning of patient-specific cutting blocks for TKR is possible : like with MRI data, the precision in surgery is excellent

Minimum 20-year follow-up of a complete series of Oxford UKA, with no loss to follow-up, shows 90% treateatment success.

A randomized prospective clinical study on conventional Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) and mini mid-vastus (MIS) TKA showed no big advantages of the MIS total knee replacement on short or mid term. Nor...

Remnant preservation ACLR shows better clinical outcome & stability

The anterior translation during the pivot-shift and internal rotational laxity after the anatomic double-bundle and the laterally placed single-bundle ACL reconstructions were significantly better tha...

Present study was aimed to answer the following question: During a single bundle anterior crutiate ligament reconstruction surgery, in a possible scenario of mismatched bundles which condition has the...

The overall failure rate after anatomic ACL reconstruction with allograft was 13%. Younger age, earlier return to sports and a higher body weight were associated with failure.

The adoption of “transportal” technique in preparation of the femoral tunnel in SB HS ACL Reconstruction led to a superior tunnel position at one year reassessment MRI, when compared with “transtibial...

During the staple taking out operations for 67 cases among 795 double-bundle ACL reconstruciton patients by one operator (Yu JK), second-look arthroscopy were done, the shape and synovium formation of...

In patients with severe acromioclavicular dislocation, clavicle fracture or those with persistent pain after a conservative management, our present data suggest that is important to perform an arthros...

Arthroscopic capsulolabral repair can yield better functional results in the early postoperative period in patients with first-time dislocation. However the functional results at the last control did ...

Comparable biomechanical results independent of the initial tear size of SR versus suturebridge DR-repair

This simple, minimally-invasive endoscopic technique for release of the spinoglenoid ligament and decompression of ganglion cysts can provide symptomatic relief for patients and the allow them to retu...

Arthroscopic greater tuberosity fracture fixation using a double-row suture-bridge technique provides a firm 3-point fixation that is minimally invasive and results in excellent shoulder outcomes.

Biological resurfacing of the glenoid with lateral meniscus allograft or human acellular dermal tissue matrix for treatment of glenohumeral arthritis in young patients has an unacceptably high failure...

Several non-surgically modifiable factors were identified that significantly contribute to pain and function (according to ASES and WORC scores) in patients with symptomatic, atraumatic full-thickness...

Double-row rotator cuff repair is frequently compared with simple suture repair and not with modified suture configurations. We introduce a new technique of suture configuration to achieve a good cuff...

A preoperative rehabilitation program can provide a faster recovery and relief after arthroscopic cuff repair. However the results seem to be similar with time and no advantage of the preoperative reh...

This study evaluated the presence of a rim fragment in pre-operative radiographs of FAI patients, and found that hips with a rim fragment were 3.7 times less likely to have femoral head's chondral def...

Arthroscopic treatment for femoro-acetabular Impingement is a safe procedure, but technical, vascular and neurologic complications can occur during the learning curve of this technique.

This is the first case report of a foot vascular complicaiton after a hip arthroscopy procedure. We descibe the complicaiton, possible causes and ways to prevent it.

This study identified the normal arthroscopic anatomy of the hip capsular ligaments in the central and peripheral compartments using standard landmarks which can allow the orthopaedic surgeon to perfo...

Although we found a few radiographic findings of FAI unique to symptomatic hips, none was a single strong predictor of symptoms.

An extensive systematic review reveals the comparative efficacy and safety of the 3 common surgical methods for managing femoracetabular impingement.

Using the first known application of a 6 DOF Robot, we have developed a reproducible, dynamic, quantifiable testing system for impingement, and demonstrated that the labrum significantly contributes t...

Recovery of muscle strength following hip arthroscopy is documented in 34 patients; initial deficits in hip flexion and internal rotation were associated with diminished rehabilitation potential.

In this biochemical analysis of acetabular chondral flaps, no sample had a profile consistent with normal articular cartilage based on [DNA], [OH-Pro], and [GAG].

Intra-articular hyaluronic acid following hip arthroscopy does not enhance recovery in the mid-term (six weeks to one year) but does significantly reduce pain up to one week following surgery.

A bony fragment at the acetabular rim may be a non-fused ossification centre, a stress fracture of the acetabular rim, or an ossification of the labrum, and these fragments can be removed combined wit...
