Magnetic Resonance Imaging Assessment of the Femoral Tunnel Position in Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction
Conclusion MPFL reconstruction with anatomic positioning of the femoral tunnel guided by intraoperative X-ray showed satisfactory accuracy in postoperative MRI results, indicating that a well-positioned MPFL graft results in better clinical outcomes.

Evolving Treatment Modality of Hand Enchondroma in a Local Hospital: From Autograft to Artificial Bone Substitutes
Publication date: Available online 18 December 2015 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation Author(s): Tsz-Yeung Kwok, Hin-Keung Wong Curettage followed by the application of iliac crest autograft was the traditional treatment of hand enchondroma in Princess Margaret Hospital, Hong Kong. We reviewed the results of 13 patients with hand enchondroma operated in the past 15 years (1999–2013). Eight patients (1999–2009) received iliac crest autograft after curettage, whereas the other five patients (2009–2013) received artificial bone substitutes. Both groups of patients had good functional outc...

Abdominal Wall Vascular Injury by Drain Insertion After Anterior Lumbar Spinal Fusion
Publication date: Available online 15 December 2015 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation Author(s): Wai Kit Ng, Tun Hing Lui, Wai Kit Ngai A 64-year-old gentleman presented with haemoglobin drop and an increase in fresh blood output in abdominal drain after anterior lumbar spinal fusion. Urgent re-exploration was performed, and injury to abdominal wall vessel during drain insertion leading to active bleeding was noted. Here, we report this rare case and summarize the characteristics of vasculature of abdominal wall, which may help reduce the possibility of this rare complication. (Source: Jou...

Mycobacterium chelonae Wrist Infection in an Immunocompetent Patient
We report a 48-year-old Chinese immunocompetent female who presented with right wrist pain and swelling for 9 months because of Mycobacterium chelonae infection of her right wrist. M. chelonae infection has been increasingly reported. Immunocompromised patients are at increased risk of developing such an infection, however, this occasionally occurs in immunocompetent patients. M. chelonae infection more commonly causes cutaneous or soft tissue infection; however, in our case, we found that the infection was so severe that the infective tenosynovial tissue from the volar side of the wrist had eroded through both the volar...

Tuberculous Peroneal Tenosynovitis
Publication date: Available online 26 November 2015 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation Author(s): Yu Chung Wong, Tun Hing Lui Musculoskeletal tuberculosis accounts for 1–5% of all cases of tuberculosis. Tuberculous tenosynovitis is an uncommon form of musculoskeletal tuberculosis occurring primarily in the hands and wrists and is rarely reported in the tendons of the feet. A case of tuberculous peroneal tenosynovitis is reported. Although tuberculosis is an uncommon cause of tenosynovitis, particularly in the foot, it should be included in the differential diagnosis of patients suffering fr...

Proximal Tibiofibular Joint: An overview
Publication date: Available online 27 November 2015 Source:Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation Author(s): Tze Wang Chan, Tun Hing Lui Proximal tibiofibular joint is a frequently neglected joint which can be a source of lateral knee pain. Open surgery is the current mainstay of surgical management of proximal tibiofibular joint disorders. The proximal tibiofibular arthroscopy allows access to the joint and adjacent important ligamentous structures. This forms the basis of further development of arthroscopic procedures for a variety of pathologies. (Source: Journal of Orthopaedics, Trauma and Rehabilitation)

Slap Lesions in Middle-aged Patients: Biceps Repair or Tenodesis? What Should We Perform for Long Biceps Tendon?
Conclusion Biceps tenodesis is a feasible therapeutic alternative to anatomical repair for the treatment of SLAP lesions in middle-aged patients; the reinsertion failure rates for this type of lesion are rather discouraging due to the high percentage of revision surgeries that must be carried out after the primary intervention.
