Data Trace Editor optimal graft angle: in the report by Howell SM, et al, the authors studied the angle of the tibial tunnel to graft function; 5 surgeons treated 119 subjects by reconstructing a torn ACL using a double-looped semitendinosus and gracilis graft and a standardized technique; radiographs were analyzed for tibial tunnel placement and a clinical evaluation … Read more
– Graft Entry Point: – because the slope of the intercondylar notch will vary from 26 to 44 deg, the tibial tunnel should be accordingly positioned between the anterior third and the midpoint of the saggital length of the tibia; – referenced off the PCL: – this … Read more
– Determination of Graft Length: – if a “two incision – backdoor” technique is used, it is usually not necessary to measure graft length; – whether the graft is slightly long or slightly short, it is usually very easy to move the graft slightly proximally or distally (through both … Read more
Foot Ankle Int. 1994 Jun;15(6):301-305 Friedman RL, Glisson RR, Nunley JA 2nd ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Two commonly used techniques for tibiotalar fusion were quantitatively compared using instrumented testing of the strength of the construct. METHODS: The tibiae and tali from 10 pairs of fresh-frozen cadaveric limbs were used. One joint of each … Read more

– Discussion: – along w/ EDC forms tunnel IV; – Anatomy: – origin: dorsal surface of distal half of ulna; – insertion: index finger and EDC tendon at MCP level; – action: extension of all phalanges of index finger; – nerve: deep radial, C6, C7, C8; … Read more
(See also: Rotator cuff) origin: infraspinatus fossa of scapula insertion: posterior aspect of greater tuberosity of humerus, capsule of shoulder joint; demensions: infraspinatus has been shown to average 29 mm wide, with a mean medial-to-lateral width of 19 mm action: extension, horizontal extension and lateral rotation of humerus at the shoulder joint. the infraspinatus is the … Read more
Discussion may result from complete excision of the flexor digitorum sublimis; it is especially likely to occur in patients with a hyperextensible PIP joint; major vinculum exists at the insertion of the sublimis tendon; when tendon is exised to to its insertion, the vinculum is violated, creating major source of adhesion formation for reconstructed tendon; … Read more
