Measure the offset of the distal femoral medial condyle to the anterior tibia with the knee in 90º flexion. This step is used when preserving the PCL, and quality assurance (QA) check #1 ...

Check the tibial and femoral condyles positions. Tibial condyles displaced posteriorly to the femoral condyles suggest a prior posterior cruciate ligament tear.

The patellar OCD cohort consisted of 40 knees from 34 patients (mean age 13.9 years) and the medial femoral condyle OCD cohort consisted of 80 knees from 73 patients (mean age, 14.1 years).

At this angle of flexion the anterior tibial condyles should be anterior to the corresponding femoral condyles. The injured knee is compared with the normal knee and the posterior translation is ...

Background: Bone contusions are often identified at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the acutely injured knee. Contusions of both surfaces of the joint are known as kissing contusions. Objective: ...

Dr. Michael Ries, of the University of California in San Francisco, discussed externally rotating the femoral component in total knee replacements. Although external rotation of the femoral ...

Fluoroscopy is used to confirm alignment of the knee joint. Two incisions, over the medial aspects of the femoral and tibial condyles, are made. A femoral base plate is inserted through the proximal ...

Isolated femoral condyle lesions account for 75% of the cartilage repair procedures performed in the knee joint, and physicians have a variety of techniques to consider as part of surgical treatment.

Mohamed Morsy, M.D., assistant professor in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, is an author of a recently published article titled “Reconstruction of a Pediatric Lateral Femoral Condyle After ...
