Over One-Third of Patients With Multiligament Knee Injuries and an Intact Anterior Cruciate Ligament Demonstrate Medial Meniscal Ramp Lesions on Magnetic Resonance Imaging
AMP (Acute Meniscal Pathology)
PURPOSE: To determine the incidence of ramp lesions and posteromedial tibial plateau (PMTP) bone bruising on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in patients with multiligament knee injuries (MLKIs) and an intact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). METHODS: A retrospective review of consecutive patients surgically treated fo...

The malignant clone and the bone-marrow environment
MSTS 2018 - Femur Mets and MM
Multiple myeloma (MM) is characterized by the clonal expansion of monoclonal immunoglobulin-secreting plasma cells within the bone marrow (BM). It has become clear that the intimate reciprocal relationship between the tumor cell clone and the niches of the BM microenvironment plays a pivotal pathophysiologic role in MM...

Reorientational proximal femoral osteotomies for arthrogrypotic hip contractures
Pediatric Diaphyseal Femur Fractures 2020 Review
Background: Severe hip contractures in arthrogrypsosis are multiplanar, which can preclude or can greatly complicate sitting and ambulation. The reorientational osteotomy at the intertrochanteric level preserves preoperative hip motion but moves it to a more functional domain. We retrospectively compared preoperative a...

Fatigue contributes to the strength training stimulus
The Treatment of Pediatric Supracondylar Humerus Fractures AUC
To investigate the role of fatigue in strength training, strength increases produced by a training protocol in which subjects rested between contractions were compared with those produced when subjects did not rest. Forty-two healthy subjects were randomly allocated to either a no-rest group, a rest group, or a control...
