Combined Rip-Stop and Transtibial Pull-out Technique for Lateral Meniscus Radial Repairs


Authors:

Morgan D. Homan, D.O., Nicholas I. Kennedy, M.D., Christopher M. LaPrade, M.D., and Robert F. LaPrade, M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

Radial tears of the meniscus disrupt circumferential fibers that allow for the dispersion of axial tibiofemoral forces. Both nonoperative treatment and  meniscectomy carry increased risk of early-onset degeneration of the joint because of decreased contact surface […]

Increased Risk of Fracture, Dislocation, and Hospitalization Are Assoc. With Collision in Contact Sports


Authors:

Jacob A. Braaten B.A., Mark T. Banovetz B.S., Marco C. Braaten B.S., Nicholas I. Kennedy M.D., Robert F. LaPrade M.D., Ph.D.

Abstract:

Purpose

To quantitatively determine whether there is an added risk of orthopaedic injury attributable to the collision forces that athletes participating in collision-contact (CC) sports regularly encounter.

PCL Stress Radiograph Technique

PCL Stress Radiographs

PCL stress radiographs are obtained to objectively determine the amount of increased posterior tibial translation in a patient that may have a possible PCL tear preoperatively and also to determine the postoperative surgical outcomes.  PCL stress radiographs can objectively measure  the amount of  increased posterior tibial translation on the injured knee compared to […]
