This study aimed to evaluate the changes in the distal femoral cartilage thickness in patients that underwent anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and to analyze their association with concomitant meniscal surgery, knee muscle strength, kinesophobia, and physical activity level. The demographic characteristics and surgical data of 47 male patients that underwent unilateral ACLR (mean, 27.55 ± 5.63; range, 18-40years) were evaluated. The patients were assessed in three groups depending on surgery isolatedACLR (  = 15), ACLR + partial medial meniscus resection (ACLR&M) (  = 16), and ACLR + medial meniscus repair (ACLR&MR) (  = 16). The medial (MCCT), intercondylar (ICCT), and lateral (LCCT) femoral cartilage thicknesses on both limbs were measured using ultrasonography. The extensor and flexor muscles strength of the knees was assessed using an isokinetic dynamometer at 60°/s. The physical activity level was evaluated by the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ) short form and Tegner Activity Scale (TAS). The fear of movement was assessed by the Tampa Scale for KinesiophobiaQuestionnaire (TSKQ). The postoperative mean follow-up duration was 32.24 ± 9.17months. MCCT and LCCT were significantly decreased in the ACLR&M group (  < 0.001 and  = 0.019, respectively). MCCT, ICCT and LCCT were significantly decreased in the ACLR&MR group (  = 0.017,  = 0.011, and  = 0.004, respectively). No significant change was found in the ACLR group. Cartilage thickness changes were not significantly correlated with the knee muscle strength, IPAQ, TAS and TSKQ scores in all groups (  > 0.05). The results showed partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair at the time of ACLR as important risk factors for decreased chondral thickness. The results showed partial meniscectomy and meniscus repair at the time of ACLR as important risk factors for decreased chondral thickness. Infection after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, though rare, is a potentially devastating complication and the evidence-based recommendation on the various topics in its management is limited. The purpose of this study was to develop recommendations for the prevention and management of infections in ACL reconstruction surgery by performing a structured expert consensus survey using Delphi methodology. 22 topics of relevance in the prevention and management of infection following ACL reconstruction were chosen from an extensive literature review. 30 panelists were requested to respond to a three-round survey, with feedback, to develop a consensus statement on the topics. Consensus statements could be prepared in eleven out of twenty-two topics including the graft is retained at the first arthroscopic debridement, the graft is removed when repeated debridement are needed, and revision ACL reconstruction is needed only if the patient develops instability. Concurrence could be obtained in the topics including longer duration of antibiotics is needed in immunocompromised patients, soaking graft in antibiotic solution reduces infection risk, and knee swelling without warmth does not suggest infection. A proper skin preparation, a longer course of antibiotics in immunocompromised patients, and soaking the graft in antibiotics reduces the risk of infection. In case of infection, a healthy-looking graft must be retained at the first debridement and if the graft must be removed, revision ACL reconstruction is advised only if the patient develops instability.

Ankle arthroscopy has come a long way since it was thought, it is not feasible because of tight joint and anatomical characteristics of ankle joint. The same anatomical features like capsular attachment and safe accessory portals are used to access the whole joint even with a rigid arthroscope. Ankle distraction method was routinely used to access the anterior ankle. However, nowadays, anterior arthroscopy is done in dorsiflexion as this increases the anterior ankle joint volume, and thereby easy access to various anatomical structures. On the other hand, intermittent traction is used to access the posterior ankle. Initially used as a diagnostic tool, ankle arthroscopy is now used extensively as a therapeutic and reconstruction tool. New evidence is published for all inside ligament reconstructions, effective management of impingement syndromes, and osteochondral lesions. The indications are being extended to fracture management and arthrodesis. This narrative review was performed following a literature search in the Pubmed database and Medline using the following keywords ankle arthroscopy, portals, ankle OCD, functional outcome. Related articles were then reviewed. Complications rate is reduced with a better understanding of the relative anatomy of surrounding neurovascular structures and tendons with regard to the position of ankle joint. This review on ankle arthroscopy focuses on anatomy, indications, and complications. Ankle arthroscopy is a safe and elegant tool as any other joint arthroscopy.

Hip arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technology for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions invarious hip disorders. Over the past decade or so, the technology and understanding related to this surgery have improved by leaps and bounds; however, in India the overall pace has been limited. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/FK-506-(Tacrolimus).html The present review highlights the status of hip arthroscopy in the Indian context. A small survey with five questions related to practice of hip arthroscopy among Indian orthopaedic surgeons was conducted. Additionally a PubMed database search was conducted to recognise and assess studies pertaining to hip arthroscopy originating from India. Forty-two responses were received for the questionnaire, out of which 38 surgeons performed hip arthroscopy in their practice; the overall numbers were very low with only one respondent performing more than 50 surgeries in a year. For 84.2% of the respondents, the practice was limited to less than ten surgeries per year. 63.2% of the surgeons affirmed that there has been no change in their practiceof hip arthroscopies over the past 5years, signifying the slow growth and limited application of the technique.
