The wide variations in patient demographics and concomitant injuries make the prediction of which patients will regain strength quickly following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction challenging. This study aimed to identify the dominant factor affecting quadriceps strength recovery after ACL reconstruction with a hamstring tendon autogr...

Hypermobility is a known risk factor for patellar instability. In this study, we hypothesized that a significant relationship exists between global joint hypermobility and trochlear dysplasia. Follow-up patients from the shoulder department of our institution with global joint hypermobility (Group 1, n = 42) and healthy volunteers (Group 2, n = 42)...

To clarify whether there is any difference in mid-term clinical and radiologic outcomes between bone-grafted laminoplasty (BG LAMP) and non-bone-grafted laminoplasty (non-BG LAMP) when used to treat cervical spondylotic myelopathy. Conventional BG LAMP includes bone grafting at the lamina hinge site to prevent closure of the lamina postoperatively,...

We aimed to determine useful parameters for quantifying walking ability in patients with knee osteoarthritis. This study included 621 Japanese patients with knee osteoarthritis scheduled to undergo total knee arthroplasty at any of 14 participating hospitals. Sex, age, body mass index, osteoarthritis severity (Kellgren-Lawrence grade), laterality, ...

The optimum approach in total hip arthroplasty (THA) should reduce the risk of postoperative dislocation or limping, be applicable in every case, and be reusable in the future. The purpose of this study was to introduce our transgluteal approach for THA and to evaluate the type and frequency of complications around the greater trochanter. This stud...

Polymethymethacrylate (PMMA) is often used to reconstruct defects after curettage of Giant Cell Tumors (GCT). While GCTs usually originate in the epiphysis, the use of PMMA in distal femoral lesions may induce the risk of degenerative osteoarthritis (OA). We investigated the limb function of patients after curettage with PMMA beyond 20 years of fol...

We describe the pathology and treatment of flexible flat foot in children. The flexible flat foot is seen in the overly flexible foot and usually involves hypermobility of the subtalar joint. It typically occurs in childhood and may continue to adulthood. The arch develops spontaneously during the first decade of life in most children and comes wit...

There have been some reports of high tibial osteotomy combined with osteochondral autograft transfer for osteonecrosis of the medial femoral condyle of the knee. However, few of them have focused on the deep knee flexion needed to sit straight in the Japanese style. To evaluate the clinical outcomes and the knee flexion of HTO combined with OAT for...

Low tibial osteotomy is an effective joint-preserving surgery for ankle arthritis. However, poor postoperative wound healing, infection, and delayed or non-union of bones remain significant concerns. We describe a modified distal tibial oblique osteotomy procedure and report preliminary results for varus ankle arthritis. The osteotomy path consiste...

Although some radiographic evaluations of the risk of flexor tendon injury following fixation of a distal radius fracture are useful, these radiographic measurements are limited because of their inability to obtain three-dimensional measurements. We hypothesized that CT-based measurements would be more sensitive indicators for risk estimation than ...
