Thick graft vs. double-bundle technique on posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: experimental biomechanical study with cadavers
Conclusions Graft enlargement improves knee stability in isolated PCL reconstructions, whereas the graft division in the two-bundle technique worsens this stability at 60° and 90° of knee flexion. The findings of this study suggest that knee stability in PCL reconstructions may be improved with the use of thicker grafts in a single-bundle technique rather than performing a double-bundle reconstruction.

Accuracy of the kissing sign on lumbar spine MRI in cases of axillary disc herniation and the surgical correlation: an Indian multi-center study
Conclusion The type of disc herniation is an important parameter for patient selection in different surgical approaches. The kissing sign on MRI can be considered as an important tool for diagnosing axillary disc herniation due to its high specificity and accuracy. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia)

“Floating knee”, an uncommon injury: analysis of 12 cases
Conclusion Floating knee injuries are severe injuries and are usually associated with multi-organ injuries. Early detection and appropriate management of associated injuries, early fixation of fractures, and postoperative rehabilitation are needed for good outcome. Complications are frequent, in the form of delayed union, knee stiffness, and infection. (Source: Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia)

Comparative analysis of treatment of basicervical femur fractures in young adults with CCS, DHS, and PFN
Conclusion Multiple cancellous screws do not provide a sufficiently stable construct during fracture healing. PFN, although associated with lesser implant failures than CCS, have a higher incidence of technical errors. DHS provides sufficient stability in well-reduced basicervical fractures in young adults; it is associated with highest fracture union rates and best functional outcome out of the three implants at final follow-up.

Modified Stoppa approach for acetabulum fracture: a review
Publication date: Available online 3 February 2018 Source:Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia (English Edition) Author(s): Ashwani Soni, Ravi Gupta Fracture acetabulum is a grave injury and a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. Anterior and posterior approaches have been described for fixation of acetabulum fractures. The modified Stoppa approach is considered an alternate to anterior approach, which provides access to pelvis from inside the cavity. The purpose of this article is to review the available literature on use of the modified Stoppa approach in acetabulum fractures. The available data suggest that modified Stoppa...
