Abstract

Background

One of the principal causes for failure of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACL) is femoral tunnel mal-position. Several studies compare the position of femoral tunnels achieved with various techniques, with small series and using a quadrant assessment method.

Questions

(1) What is the incidence of anatomical positioning of the intra-articular femoral tunnel aperture in primary ACL reconstruction in a university knee surgery? (2) What are the main errors in positioning?

Methods

3D-CT scans were performed after primary ACL reconstruction in 135 consecutive cases. The intra-articular position of the femoral tunnel aperture was analyzed using the Magnussen classification.

Results

The intra-articular tunnel position was deemed anatomical in 77%, intermediate in 20.8%, and non-anatomical in 2.2%. Among the mal-positioned tunnels, 54.8% were vertical, 29% were anteriorly positioned, and 16.1% were both.

Conclusions

The intra articular femoral tunnel aperture was well positioned using an outside-in technique. The main error of tunnel positioning was a tunnel too vertical.
Level of Evidence: Level III, prospective study (case series).

Viele Versäumnisse bei Psoriasis-Arthritis

Menschen mit Psoriasis-Arthritis (PsA) müssen länger auf die Diagnose warten und werden zögerlicher behandelt als an rheumatoider Arthritis (RA) Erkrankte. Diese Defizite hat eine Untersuchung in Großbritannien aufgedeckt.

Yoga gegen Kniearthrose nicht schlechter als Krafttraining

Menschen mit Gonarthrose profitieren von Yogaübungen nicht weniger als von gezielten Kräftigungsübungen für die lädierten Knie. In einer Vergleichsstudie haben sich für Yogis und Yoginis sogar einige Vorteile ergeben.

Muskelrelaxanzien wohl nur bei akuten Kreuzschmerzen hilfreich

Bei akuten Rückenschmerzen können Muskelrelaxanzien, eventuell in Kombination mit NSAR, zur Schmerzlinderung beitragen. Wegen der Nebenwirkungen wird jedoch empfohlen, die Medikamente nur über wenige Tage einzusetzen.

Wie bereits der virtuelle "Blick ins Grüne" Schmerzen lindern kann

Dass der Blick in die Natur Menschen dazu bringen kann, Schmerzen weniger stark zu empfinden, konnte bereits mehrfach nachgewiesen werden. Jetzt ließen sich in einer experimentellen Studie sogar allein durch das Betrachten von Videos mit Naturszenen analgetische Effekte erzeugen.
