Objectives. Ligaments which heal spontaneously have a healing process that
is similar to skin wound healing. Menopause impairs skin wound healing
and may likewise impair

Introduction.
Aims. The purpose of this study is to determine an individual’s age-specific prevalence of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) after cruciate
Aims. Patients with midcarpal instability are difficult to manage. It is a rare condition, and few studies have reported the outcomes of surgical treatment. No prospective or retrospective study has reported the results of arthroscopic palmar capsuloligamentous suturing. Our aim was to report the results of a prospective study of arthroscopic suture of this
Abstract. Introduction. We present a case series of patients that underwent knee
Modeling the kinetic effects of the soft tissue structures is a major challenge for dynamic simulation of knees and other joints. We describe a technique whereby a multi-fiber
Background. Supination-external rotation (SER) injuries make up 80% of all ankle fractures. SER stage 2 injuries (AITFL and Weber B) are considered stable. SER stage 3 injury includes disruption of the posterior malleolus (or PITFL). In SER stage 4 there is either medial malleolus fracture or deltoid injury too. SER 4 injuries have been considered unstable, requiring surgery. The deltoid

Purpose. We conducted a prospective study to investigate the role of the LARS
Poor availability of allografts in South Africa has led to an increased use of synthetic augmentation to stabilize knee joints in the treatment of knee dislocations. This study aims to evaluate multiligament knee injuries treated with a posterior cruciate
Introduction and Objective. The human body is designed to walk in an efficient way. As energy can be stored in elastic structures, it is no surprise that the strongest elastic structure of the human body, the iliofemoral
This study aims to create a novel computational workflow for frontal plane laxity evaluation which combines a rigid body knee joint model with a non-linear implicit finite-element model wherein collateral
We have assessed the clinical and radiological outcome of traumatic knee injuries resulting in open reconstruction of the posterior cruciate
