The influence of lateral release on patello-femoral joint loading in knee arthroplasty. An experimental in vitro study.

Eight fresh, cadaveric knees have been fitted with four different total knee cemented prostheses. Loading forces at the bone implant fixation interface of the patella component have been measured in a knee joint testing rig by four miniaturized force transducers, before and after a lateral release of the patellar retinaculum. The lateral release resulted in a significant local force reduction in the lateral and/or proximal quadrant of the patella resection plane depending on the knee flexion angle, quadriceps tensile force direction, and the patellar prosthesis design.

[Results of studies of surgically treated carpal tunnel syndrome with obligate tenosynovectomy of the flexor tendons].

The authors present a follow-up of thirty five patients with carpal tunnel syndrome, who had undergone surgical treatment including synovialectomy of the flexor tendons. Beyond the clinical findings, pre- and postoperative comparison of the electromyograms, conduction velocities and an exact analysis of the lipid disorders were studied. These findings and the results of the histological analysis of the tenosynovial membrane are evaluated with special regard to the etiology of the carpal tunnel syndrome.
