Purpose: To evaluate whether ultrasonography can be used to explore the medial and lateral ligament structures during the acute phase of a closed elbow injury.

Methods: A single-center, prospective study performed between December 2019 and June 2020, including patients who suffered a radial head fracture or elbow dislocation. Two radiologists did a blinded analysis using ultrasonography of visibility, injury grade, and presence of bone avulsion for the radial collateral ligament (RCL), lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL), annular ligament (AL), and anterior (MCLant) and posterior bundles (MCLpost) of the medial collateral ligament.

Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes of the modified Broström repair (MBR) with or without suture tape augmentation (STA) for managing the chronic lateral ankle instability.

Methods: 72 patients with chronic lateral ankle instability treated at our hospital from January 2018 to July 2019 were included, with 37 patients receiving the MBR and 35 treated by the MBR with STA. The clinical efficacy of the two techniques was assessed in terms of VAS, AOFAS, and Karlsson scores and by physical examination in follow-ups. Read More

Median arcuate ligament syndrome is a clinical condition in which the median arcuate ligament causes compression and narrowing of the celiac artery. It has been reported that collateral pathways, which is developed by the decrease of blood flow from the celiac artery, facilitates the formation of aneurysms. Aneurysms around the pancreas in particular require aggressive therapeutic intervention, because a rupture can be fatal. Read More

The deep medial collateral ligament plays an important role in controlling tibial external rotation and restrain anterior translation of the medial tibial plateau. Despite being the basic lesion of anteromedial knee instability as proposed by many authors, the majority of the medial side reconstructions do not restore the anatomy and the function of the deep medial collateral ligament. In this Technical Note, we describe a technique to reconstruct both the superficial and deep medial collateral ligament in the setting of anteromedial knee instability using a single peroneus longus autograft.
