ACL_optimal_graft_position

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

Swan Neck Deformity following Excision of FDS

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
