UNASSIGNED: Isolated hamate dislocation is a rare case with potentially devastating complications, given the resultant instability of the carpus following the injury. This has been reported in the literature before with varying constructs and varying results but never with an internal bracing construct and early rehabilitation.
UNASSIGNED: A 26-year-old male injured his left hand in an all-terrain vehicle accident. After initial misdiagnosis and subsequent persistent pain, he was diagnosed with a chronic dorsal hamate dislocation. An open reduction and internal brace fixation were performed resulting in an anatomic and stable reduction. By the final follow-up visit, the patient had no pain with near full range of motion and had returned to work with good to excellent outcome scores.
UNASSIGNED: Open reduction with ligament reconstruction utilizing an internal bracing technique provides a stable fixation and anatomic repair of the intercarpal and carpometacarpal ligaments. This is a feasible treatment option for hamate dislocations that allows for early rehabilitation in comparison to previously described methods and may result in good to excellent outcomes.

BACKGROUND: Quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) is a rare clinical condition often caused by indirect injury in healthy people. In addition, spontaneous and bilateral ruptures can occur in patients with predisposing factors, such as endocrine or rheumatic disease. Currently, several QTR repair techniques have been proposed; however, no consensus exists about the best repair technique.
METHODS: A 55-year-old man with renal failure secondary to glomerulonephritis suffered from spontaneous bilateral quadriceps tendon ruptures. Based on a knotless suture anchor and internal brace, a novel double-row suture-bridge configuration surgical approach was used to treat the patient. At 11-month follow-up, the patient maintained excellent function, with a Lysholm score of 91 for both knees.
CONCLUSIONS: This technique may be an effective method for repairing ruptured quadriceps tendons.

UNASSIGNED: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery has been proven to be closely related to the graft healing process, which can last up to 12 months after surgery. In recent years, through various biomechanical and clinical studies, Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation (IBLA) has been shown to protect the graft during these early postoperative stages and improve the outcome of ACL reconstruction. We present this case series of all-inside arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with IBLA using semitendinosus tendon autografts, with the goal of evaluating postoperative clinical and patient-reported outcomes.
UNASSIGNED: A total of 37 patients who underwent all-inside arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with IBLA using only semitendinosus tendon autografts, were evaluated, in terms of patient reported outcome and clinical assessment, during the 3, 6 and 12 months post-operative follow-up. Results: The mean Lysholm Knee score at the final follow-up was 94,03 +- 3,65 with a difference of 34,59 +- 5,52 to the baseline level. International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) classification rated 30 cases of grade A and 7 cases of grade B. In terms of clinical tests and knee\'s range of motion, all patients have returned to normal, and no cases of re-rupture or other severe complications were found.
UNASSIGNED: Early follow-up patient reported outcomes have provided good to great results for the 37 patients who underwent all-inside arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with IBLA using semitendinosus tendon autografts and no cases of graft failure or other notable complication has been discovered. Clinical findings suggest improved knee\'s integrity and range of movement during the early stages, which may promote early rehabilitation, however future long-term comparative studies are needed.
UNASSIGNED: IBLA with all-inside ACL reconstructions using only semitendinosus autograft has provided good to great results however, future long-term comparative studies are needed.

This a case report of a 40-year-old male with left knee dislocation Type III and associated peroneal nerve palsy underwent delayed allograft reconstruction of his multiligament knee injury (MKI) with Internal Brace augmentation. The patient returned to work at 6 months postoperatively. He then fell and sustained a displaced supracondylar left femur fracture at the site of the internal brace augmentation of his lateral collateral ligament (LCL) reconstruction for which he underwent placement of a retrograde femoral nail. At 2 years of follow-up the patient had no evidence of knee instability. Level of evidence: V.

OBJECTIVE: To mitigate the risk of poor wound healing and of infection associated with the open repair of Achilles tendon midsubstance ruptures, minimally invasive techniques have been developed. We report our preliminary results after reviewing our \"jigless knotless internal brace technique.\"
METHODS: Patients were placed in prone position and a transverse 3-cm incision was made proximal to the palpable ruptured end. The proximal ruptured end was pulled out, gently debrided, and sutured using Krackow locking loops. Percutaneous sutures were crisscrossed through the distal tendon stump and looped around the Krackow sutures over the proximal stump. The ipsilateral Krackow sutures and the contralateral crisscrossed sutures were subcutaneously passed through two mini-incisions over the posterior calcaneus tuberosity and seated at the tuberosity with two 4.5-mm knotless suture anchors. All patients underwent the same post-operative rehabilitation protocol and regular follow-ups for at least 1 year.
RESULTS: We recruited 10 patients (mean age, 37.3 years) who scored 100 points on the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society (AOFAS) scale, and who returned to their preoperative exercise levels 1-year post-operatively with no complications.
CONCLUSIONS: Our method is simple, effective, and requires no special tools. It might be a reliable option for Achilles tendon repair.
METHODS: III.
