Abstract

This study explored the anatomic relationship of the popliteus complex (PC) and collected anatomic data of PC in a Chinese population. The anatomic study was performed using 81 formalin-fixed knees. The femoral attachment of the popliteus tendon could be classified into three types with respect to femoral attachment of the lateral collateral ligament. The popliteofibular ligament presented as ligament (87.7%) or fascia (12.3%), originating from the musculotendinous junction of the popliteus muscle or just proximal to it. Given the great variability of the posterolateral structures, reconstructive surgeons should design a method based on individual anatomic features, rather than a fixed reconstructive surgery.

Echinokokkose medikamentös behandeln oder operieren?

06.05.2024 DCK 2024 Kongressbericht

Die Therapie von Echinokokkosen sollte immer in spezialisierten Zentren erfolgen. Eine symptomlose Echinokokkose kann – egal ob von Hunde- oder Fuchsbandwurm ausgelöst – konservativ erfolgen. Wenn eine Op. nötig ist, kann es sinnvoll sein, vorher Zysten zu leeren und zu desinfizieren. 

Aquatherapie bei Fibromyalgie wirksamer als Trockenübungen
