Kinematic Evaluation of the modified Weaver-Dunn Acromioclavicular Joint Reconstruction
AJSM 2008
Few reconstructive methods to treat displaced acromioclavicular separations have been evaluated using kinematic data.
Rehabilitation Exercise Progression for the Gluteus Medius Muscle With Consideration for Iliopsoas Tendinitis
AJSM 2011
It is common for hip arthroscopy patients to demonstrate significant gluteus medius muscle weakness and concurrent iliopsoas tendinitis. Restoration of gluteus medius muscle function is essential for normal hip function.
Double Bundle PCL Technique and Outcomes
THE JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY 2011
A variety of techniques have been developed to improve clinical outcomes and objective knee stability following posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. Additional refinements in surgical and rehabilitation techniques are necessary for improvement of both subjective and objective outcomes.
Qualitative and Quantitative Anatomic Analysis of the Posterior Root Attachments of the Medial and Lateral Menisci
AJSM 2012
This manuscript went into specific detail about the attachment sites of the posterior roots of the medial and lateral meniscus. This is a very hot topic currently, and this is the first study to actually define in detail where the attachment sites are located. This information is very important because it is well recognized that tears […]
Correlation of Valgus Stress Radiographs With Medial Knee Ligament Injuries
AJSM 2009
The amount of medial compartment opening for medial knee injuries determined by valgus stress radiography has not been well documented. The purpose of this study was to develop clinical guidelines for diagnosing medial knee injuries using valgus stress radiography.
Radiographic Identification of the Primary Medial Knee Structures
JOURNAL OF BONE AND JOINT SURGERY 2009
Radiographic landmarks for medial knee attachment sites during anatomic repairs or reconstructions are unknown. If identified, they could assist in the preoperative evaluation of structure location and allow for postoperative assessment of reconstruction tunnel placement.
In Vivo Tibiofemoral Kinematics During 4 Functional Tasks of Increasing Demand Using Biplane Fluoroscopy
AJSM 2011
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has been well defined as the main passive restraint to anterior tibial translation (ATT) in the knee and plays an important role in rotational stability. However, it is unknown how closely the ACL and other passive and active structures of the knee constrain translations and rotations across a set […]
Out of the ring and into a sling: acute latissimus dorsi avulsion in a professional wrestler
KSSTA 2008
We present a 29-year-old professional wrestler who sustained a traumatic latissimus dorsi tendon rupture from its humeral insertion. To our knowledge, this report is the first to describe the use of two small anterior axillary incisions to repair a traumatic avulsion of the latissimus dorsi.
A Prospective Outcomes Study of Meniscal Allograft Transplantation
AJSM 2010
Symptomatic early-onset chondromalacia often develops after a meniscectomy in the affected knee compartment. The role of meniscal transplantation in reducing pain and improving function in patients with prior ipsilateral meniscectomy is still being defined.
Diagnosis and Treatment of Posterolateral Knee Injuries
CLINICAL ORTHOPAEDICS AND RELATED RESEARCH 2002
Posterolateral knee injuries can be very debilitating. It is important to understand the complex anatomy and pertinent diagnostic tests to properly treat posterolateral knee injuries. The fibular collateral ligament, popliteus tendon, and the popliteofibular ligament are the main static stabilizers against abnormal varus and posterolateral translational moments.
