John P. Fulkerson, MD: Tibial tubercle transfer is a definitive approach to aligning and/or unloading the patellofemoral joint. Unlike proximal realignment procedures, transfer of the tibial tubercle ...
Making a decision regarding proximal or distal realignment in a patient with recurrent patella instability is challenging. Some surgeons favor performing proximal realignment exclusively by medial ...
Introduction The impact of knee joint loading exercise on MRI-assessed articular cartilage in osteoarthritis (OA) has only been reported by individual studies. We investigated the impact of knee joint ...
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis is a musculoskeletal disorder shadowing especially the life of young and active population. Inhibition of cartilage damage progression with early intervention is crucial.
As youth engagement in high-energy sports surges, so does the prevalence of sport-related injuries. Among them, tibial tubercle avulsion fractures (TTAFs) represent a small but serious subset, ...
Iron dextran (molecular weight 7,000) diffuses rapidly from the joint cavity through the synovium, along lymphatics and extracellular tissue spaces; articular cartilage is impermeable to iron dextran.
