A comparative analysis of autograft choices of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and their effects on muscle strength and joint biomechanics by Wiem Issaoui, Wiem Issaoui, Ismail Dergaa, Ismail Dergaa, Ismail Dergaa, Hatem Ghouili, Abdelfatteh El Omri, Noomen Guelmami, Philippe Chomier, Mourad Ghrairi, Helmi Ben Saad, Helmi Ben Saad, Helmi Ben Saad, Wassim Moalla, Wassim Moalla

“…In this study, the effects of four autografts are investigated: Iliotibial band (ITB), combined ITB and hamstring tendon (ITB + HT), hamstring tendon (HT) and bone-tendon-bone (BTB) on quadriceps and hamstring peak torque (QPT and HPT) recovery and hamstring to quadriceps ratio (H:Q) to assess knee stability and function.MethodsForty-two active males (mean ± standard deviation of age: 31.5 ± 6.1 years, height: 177 ± 6 cm, weight: 76 ± 11 kg, body mass index: 24.5 ± 2.2 kg/m²) with primary ACL ruptures were allocated to the four graft groups (ITB: n = 16, ITB + HT: n = 12, HT: n = 7, BTB: n = 7) and underwent a standardized rehabilitation protocol. …”

Abnormal sagittal patellar tilt during active knee flexion and extension on 4DCT might be associated with patellofemoral pain by Yurou Chen, Xin Liu, Bo Sheng, Mao Yuan, Furong Lv, Fajin Lv, Fan Yu, Jia Li

“…Methods Thirty-four knees of PFP patients and 34 control knees were scanned with 4DCT. Patella-patellar tendon angle (P-PTA), patella-lateral tibial plateau angle (P-LTPA), patella-screen horizontal line angle (P-SHLA), articular facet of the patella-lateral tibial plateau angle (PA-LTPA), articular facet of the patella-screen horizontal line angle (PA-SHLA), and upper margin of the patella-quadriceps tendon angle (PU-QTA) were used to evaluate the sagittal patellar tilt. …”

Calcaneal Fractures: A Soft Tissue Emergency by Tae-Seong Kim, Chang-Wug Oh, Joon-Woo Kim, Kyung-Hyun Park

“…In the tongue-type of calcaneusal fractures or tuberosity avulsion fractures, bone fragments are often superiorly and posteriorly displaced, because of the insertion of the Achilles tendon and pull of the gastroc-soleus complex. The Ddisplaced bone fragment compresses the soft tissues, leading tothat makes skin necrosis. …”
