Introduction. Chronic ruptures of the quadriceps tendon after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are rare but are a devastating complication. The objective of this study was to validate the use of fresh frozen total fresh quadriceps tendon allografts for quadriceps tendon reconstruction. The hypothesis of this work was that the graft was functional in more than 67% of cases, a higher percentage than the results of conventional treatments. Material – methods. We designed a continuous monocentric retrospective study of all patients operated on between 2009 and 2017 for a chronic rupture of the quadriceps tendon after TKA by quadriceps
Large cartilage lesions in younger patients can be treated by fresh osteochondral allograft transplantation, a surgical technique that relies on stable initial fixation and a minimum chondrocyte viability of 70% in the donor tissue to be successful. The Missouri Osteochondral
The goal of this study was to identify the effect of mismatches in the subchondral bone surface at the native:graft interface on cartilage tissue deformation in human patellar osteochondral
Purpose. Cementless cup with structural

Background. Revision hip arthroplasty for excessive bone loss because of osteolysis or infection is difficult theme. Bone grafting is essential technique for bone loss and need of
Chronic massive irreparable rotator cuff tears represent a treatment challenge and the optimal surgical technique remains controversial. Superior capsular reconstruction (SCR) has been proposed as a means to provide superior stability to the glenohumeral joint, thus facilitating restoration of shoulder function. However, despite the growing use of SCR there is a paucity of data evaluating the outcomes when performed using a dermal

Aim. Aim of this monocentric, prospective study was to evaluate the safety, efficacy, clinical and radiographical results at 24-month follow-up (N = 6 patients) undergoing hip revision surgery with severe acetabular bone defects (Paprosky 2C-3A-3B) using a combination of a novel phase-pure betatricalciumphosphate - collagen 3D matrix with
Purpose. To evaluate the radiographic long-term result of femoral revision hip arthroplasty using impacted cancellous
Introduction. A deficient abductor mechanism leads to significant morbidity and few studies have been published describing methods for reconstruction or repair. This study reports the reconstruction of hip abductor deficiency using human
The biological properties of morselised bone
The management of patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCT) has traditionally proved challenging. This prospective study was undertaken with the aim to assess the overall functional outcome following the use of human dermal
Extensor mechanism disruption in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) occurs infrequently but often requires surgical intervention. We compared two cohorts undergoing extensor mechanism
Biological reconstruction techniques after diaphyseal tumour resection have increased in popularity in recent years. High complication and failure rates have been reported with intercalary
Management of bone defects is a common surgical challenge encountered following any high energy trauma. Femur fractures with bone loss account for 22% of all the fractures with bone loss/defect, and 5% to 10% of distal femur fractures are open injuries. It was estimated in 2008, that, more than 4.5 million open fractures occur annually in India. In this retrospective study, patients who received bone

Background: The results of arthroscopic anterior labral (Bankart) repair have been shown to have high failure rate in patients with significant glenoid bone loss. Several reconstruction procedures using bone graft have been described to overcome the bone loss, including autogenous coracoid transfer to the anterior glenoid (Latarjet procedure) as well as iliac crest autograft and tibial
