Accuracy comparisons of intra-articular knee injection between the new modified anterolateral Approach and superolateral approach in patients with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis without effusion
ConclusionThe new modified anterolateral injection yields the higher pooled accuracy rate. From the accuracy and the advantage of the new modified anterolateral injection, this is the preferred injection technique for the symptomatic osteoarthritis without knee effusion.

Diabetes mellitus does not negatively impact outcomes and satisfaction following unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in well-controlled disease
ConclusionIn this matched-pair study of diabetic versus non-diabetic patients undergoing surgery for UKA, DM does not have a clinically significant negative impact on the outcomes and satisfaction following UKA in patients with well-controlled disease.

Determination of patellar tendon length for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using an anteroposterior knee radiograph
ConclusionsPreoperative measurements of the patella-to-condyle and the patella-to-notch distances in AP knee radiographs can be valuable tools, with good sensitivities and specificities, for the determination of the patellar tendon length when using a BPTB graft for an ACLR. They had an acceptable level of discrimination capability and excellent reliability. (Source: Asia-Pacific Journal of Sports Medicine, Arthroscopy, Rehabilitation and Technology)

Subacromial bone erosion due to suture-knots in arthroscopic rotator cuff repair: A report of two cases
We report two cases of patients with symptomatic knot impingement. In both patients, bursal-side partial-thickness tear of the supraspinatus tendon had been repaired by a single-row technique using one suture anchor and two polyester sutures with a long-chain polyethylene core. Three-dimensional computed tomography and arthroscopy revealed bony erosion at the lateral side of the anterior half of the acromial undersurface in both patients. The size of the erosion was 1.7 cm (anteroposterior direction) × 0.7 cm (mediolateral direction) in one patient and 1.2 cm × 0.5 cm in the other. Arthroscopy showed that sut...

The relationship between knee muscle strength and knee biomechanics during running at 6 and 12 months after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
ConclusionsDynamic knee biomechanics during running were not restored 6 and 12 months after ACL reconstruction both male and female. It is necessary to strengthen knee extension and flexion muscles to restore knee kinetics during running, especially female patients.

Arthroscopic debridement of the degenerative knee – Is there still a role?
ConclusionArthroscopic knee debridement can provide good symptomatic relief and sustained benefits in significantly symptomatic patients with early degenerative knees who have failed conservative management. This is most useful in patients with mechanical symptoms secondary to degenerative meniscal tears or chondral flaps, and those with symptomatic patellofemoral osteoarthritis.

A non-invasive biomechanical device to quantify knee rotational laxity: Verification of the device in human cadaveric specimens
ConclusionsA new knee rotational laxity meter was proposed in this study. Its reliability was verified by showing high correlation among trials. It also showed good correlation to a gold standard of measurement. It might be used to document knee rotational laxity for various purposes, especially after ACL injury, after further validation of the device in human subjects.

Comparison of changes in shoulder functions between biceps tenotomy and tenodesis in an animal model
ConclusionTransient functional alterations in temporal and spatial parameters are found after tenotomy and tenodesis in a rat model. The functional changes in the tenodesis group existed for a longer period than in tenotomy group; however, and all parameters showed no significant differences when compared with the sham group at the conclusion of the study.

A new method for tensioning of a chronic tibial bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament as a posteromedial bundle and augmentation by anterolateral bundle reconstruction in a bicruciate ligament injury: A case report
We report our experiences in handling a case of ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) complicated by chronic bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL). Favourable results were obtained as a result of ACR reconstruction following a new method for tensioning of the chronic tibial bony avulsion of PCL as a postero-medial bundle and augmentation by PCL anterolateral bundle reconstruction. Favourable posterior stability could be restored through application of this new technique incorporating post-reconstruction PCL reinforcement.

Quantifying anterior knee pain during specific activities after using the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
ConclusionsKneeling was the most challenging activity in terms of creating considerable levels of anterior knee pain in patients who had undergone an ACL reconstruction using a BPTB graft. Other knee activities, however, did not create moderate or severe degrees of anterior knee pain. Both anterior knee pain and numbness at the proximal leg improved over time.Trial registration number: TCTR2018–0630002.

Factors related to stress fracture after unicompartmental knee arthroplasty
ConclusionOur results suggested that low BMD in the affected femur, large postoperative TFA, and a combination of large postoperative TFA and small varus angle of the tibial component may contribute to stress fracture of the MTP following UKA.

Validation of an inertial measurement unit to determine countermovement jump height
ConclusionEstimation of countermovement jump height using an IMU leads to the most accurate measurements applying the NDI-method. Countermovement jump estimated with an IMU can reliably evaluate functional performance in the lower extremities in young or in sports active patients after surgery or after rehabilitation. Countermovement jump with an IMU allows performing the test without a force plate and thus serves as an objective outcome measure in clinical practice.

Validity and reliability of the Nintendo Wii Fit Stillness score for assessment of standing balance
ConclusionThe readily available WBB may be a used as a portable and inexpensive device to assess standing balance with custom written software. However, with the current limitations of the WSS, we would discourage its use as a clinical measure of balance.

Smoothness of the knee joint movement during the stance phase in patients with severe knee osteoarthritis
ConclusionThe present results revealed that the smoothness of joint movement decreases during the single leg supporting phase of the stance phase in the frontal plane with severe knee osteoarthritis, although there is no difference in smoothness of joint movement according to the severity of knee osteoarthritis The instability during single leg support due to increase of the knee joint load and destruction cause the impaired smoothness of the knee joint movement.
