BACKGROUND The femoral rotation angle is important element in total knee replacement (TKR). AIM To measure this angle, we determine through the axes the transepicondylar axis (cTEA and sTEA), the posterior condylar axis (PCA), the anteroposterior axis (APA - Whiteside axis). METHODS Measuring the angles created by the four axes cTEA, sTEA, PCA and APA in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); determining the femoral rotation angle and application TKR. RESULTS the angle between APA and cTEA 90.41° ± 3.35°, the angle between APA and sTEA 94.47° ± 3.31°, the angle between APA and PCA 96.40° ± 4.59°, the angle between cTEA and sTEA 4.00° ± 1.02°, the angle between cTEA and PCA 6.53° ± 2.55°, the angle between sTEA and PCA 3.48° ± 1.91°. CONCLUSION The angle between sTEA and PCA is the angle that best represents the femoral rotation angle. However, in case of sTEA or PCA is difficult to identify, it can be measure via the APA or cTEA. These angles don't differ by age, gender and place of knee joint.

Its anatomical structure is complex. A proper understanding of PCL anatomy may assist surgeon in reconstructing anatomically native PCL. AIM To describe the anatomical numerical measurement of the PCL in Vietnamese adults. METHODS Twenty-one fresh cadaveric knees were examined. The macroscopic details of the intra-articular PCL, the attachment of the anterolateral bundle (ALB), posteromedial bundles (PMB) to the femur and tibia were analysed. We used a digital camera to photograph the cadaveric specimens and used the ImageJ software to analyse the collected images. RESULTS The ALB and PMB length were 35.5 ± 2.78 and 32.6 ± 2.28 mm, respectively. The smallest and the biggest diameter of middle third of the PCL were 5.9 ± 0.71 and 10.0 ± 1.39 mm, respectively. The area of cross section of middle third of the PCL was 53.6 ± 12.37 mm2. The femoral insertion area of ALB and PMB were 88.4 ± 16.89 and 43.5 ± 8.83 mm2, respectively. The distance from the central point of femoral ALB, PMB, and total PCL insertion to the Blumensaat line were 5.5 ± 0.91, 11.5 ± 1.98, and 7.6 ± 1.42 mm, respectively. The shortest distance from medial femoral cartilage rim to the central point of femoral ALB, PMB, and total PCL insertion were 7.0 ± 0.79, 7.3 ± 0.95, and 7.8 ± 1.73 mm, respectively. The tibial insertion area of ALB and PMB were 84.5 ± 12.52 and 47.8 ± 6.20 mm2 respectively. The shortest distance from the posterior cartilage corner of the medial tibial plateau to the central point of ALB, PMB, and total PCL insertion to tibia were 8.5 ± 1.02, 9.4 ± 1.11, and 8.3 ± 1.1 mm, respectively. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/h-1152-dihydrochloride.html The central point of tibial PCL insertion was 9.7±1.08 mm below cartilage plane of the medial tibial plateau. CONCLUSION This study describes the detailed anatomical measurement of the PCL and its bundles in adults.

At present, ligament autografts have been the best method due to good histocompatibility, rapid healing, no cross-contamination, and low cost of treatment. However, autografts do not have infinite amount and are also not always feasible. Anterior half of peroneus longus tenden autograft is likely to become a source of autograft with many advantages. This study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using anterior half of peroneus longus tendon autograft (AHPLT). AIM To evaluate the initial outcome of ACL reconstruction arthroscopy by anterior half of peroneus longus tendon. METHODS This is a prospective non-controlled case series. RESULTS A prospective study on 30 patients (from 9 / 2016 to 01 / 2019) had both ACL and MCL injury who had operated ACL reconstruction using anterior half of peroneus longus tendon autograft (AHPLT) at Department of General Orthopaedic and Trauma, Viet Duc hospital. Our outcome the year average 35.4 ys, the rate of ACL rupture combined with meniscus injury was 40%. The average diameter AHPLT autograft is 7.0 mm. The function Lysholm scores improved from 59 to 94.27 postoperative 6 months. No difference beetwen the AOFAS scale of preoperative and postoperative. CONCLUSION Peroneus longus tendon is recommended to be a safe and practical autograft resource for arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

It can derive from cartilage tumors, soft tissue tumors, or gout tumors, or due to the heterotopic ossification, forming a sub patella in the knee joint. CASE REPORT A woman, 57 years old, healthy history, she has hospitalized for right knee joint pain since 2 years. Diagnosis the synovial osteochondromatosis of the right knee. We decided to conduct and arthroscopy and removal. After 18 months surgery, the patient knee joint is currently good, range of motion (ROM) (-10)°- 0°-160°, Lysholm Knee Scoring Scale 85/100 point. CONCLUSION This is the second case in the world and the first case in Vietnam. This is an experience in the process of diagnosis, arthroscopic treatment and differentiation from the "double patellae" status.

Osteosynthese is the preferred method of choice. However, elderly patients had osteoporotic, combined with many of chronic disease conditions that increase the rate of osteosynthese failure. Hemiarthroplasty bipolar long-stem is a surgical method that helps patients relieve pain, facilitate early rehabilitation, limit long-term complications, and improve quality of life for patients. AIM The aim of our study is to evaluate the clinical of result of primary cementless bipolar long stem hemiarthroplasty in treatment for unstable ITF in the elderly patients who have severe osteoporosis. METHODS Between 01/2016 and 12/2017, 35 patients with ITF type A2.2 and A2.3 (AO) were included in our prospective study. These patients were over 70 years old and treatment by hemiarthroplasty cementless long stem at E hospital and Saint Paul hospital by one group surgeons. RESULTS Mean age of studied subjects was 84.
