The aim is to investigate if there is a relation between patellar height and knee flexion angle. For this purpose we retrospectively evaluated the radiographs of 500
It is known that the gait dynamics of elderly substantially differs from that of young people. However, it has not been well studied how this age-related gait dynamics affects the

The objective of this study was to analyze the biomechanical effect of an implanted ACL graft by determining the tunnel position according to the aspect ratio (ASR) of the distal femur during flexion-extension motion. To analyze biomechanical characteristics according to the ASR of the
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) using a semitendinosus (ST) autograft, with or without gracilis (GR), results in donor muscle atrophy and varied tendon regeneration. The effects of harvesting these muscles on muscle moment arm and torque generating capacity have not been well described. This study aimed to determine between-limb differences (ACLR vs uninjured contralateral) in muscle moment arm and torque generating capacity across a full range of hip and
This study aims to create a novel computational workflow for frontal plane laxity evaluation which combines a rigid body
Osteomyelitis is an inflammatory condition accompanied by the destruction of bone and caused by an infecting microorganism. Open contaminated fractures can lead to the development of osteomyelitis of the fractured bone in 3-25% of cases, depending on fracture type, degree of soft-tissue injury, degree of microbial contamination, and whether systemic and/or local antimicrobial therapies have been administered. Untreated, infection will ultimately lead to non-union, chronic osteomyelitis, or amputation. We report a case series of 10 patients that presented with post-operative infected non-union of the distal femur with or without prior surgery. The cases were performed at Padmashree Dr. D. Y. Patil Hospital, Nerul, Navi Mumbai, India. All the patients’ consents were taken for the study which was carried out in accordance with the Helsinki Declaration. The methodology involved patients undergoing a two-stage procedure in case of no prior implant or a three-stage procedure in case of a previous implant. Firstly, debridement and implant removal were done. The second was a definitive procedure in form of
Altered mechanical loading is a widely suggested, but poorly understood potential cause of cartilage degeneration in osteoarthritis. In rodents, osteoarthritis is induced following destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM). This study estimates

Rotational laxity increases the risk of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and residual rotational laxity can result in inferior surgical outcomes and risk of retears. The dynamic rotatory knee stability can be assessed through manual examination, but it is limited to the surgeon's experience and it provides inaccurate measurements, highlighting the need for objective measurement of
