Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using patellar tendon autografts--a review of results.

AIM: The aim of this retrospective study was to review the results of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using patellar tendon autografts. METHODS: Forty-one knees were available for evaluation at a minimum of 24 months follow-up. Objective, subjective, functional and KT-1000 arthrometric tests were performed. RESULTS: 92.7% had a negative or trace pivot shift at follow-up. None of the patients had rupture of the autografts at review. The mean post-operative single-legged hop was 81%. The KT-1000 arthrometric evaluation post-operatively revealed a mean maximum manual difference of 0.5 mm; 90.2% of these patients had a maximum manual difference of less than 4 mm. Five patients (12.2%) had a "tighter" reconstructed knee (a negative mean maximum manual difference). More than 70% of the patients in this series had good to excellent results on functional, subjective and objective evaluation scores. CONCLUSION: Excellent motion recovery, reliable stabilisation rates, good arthrometric results and encouraging post-operative functional, subjective and objective evaluation scores can be expected in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with patellar tendon autografts.

[Pharmacognostical identification and investigation of commercial product of traditional Chinese drug jiuyanduhuo].

Through investigation on original plants and commercial products of the traditional Chinese drug Jiuyanduhuo, the authors have ascertained its botanical origin and present medicinal usage, and found out that Aralia cordata is the main species of Jiuyanduhuo, and A. fargesii is another species that has come into use due to short supply of the main species, and A. henyri is used only in Sichuan and Hubei Provinces. Principal identification features of the original plants and crude drugs with 2 keys have been given, and TLC identification for 3 kinds of Jiuyanduhuo have also been carried out.

De Quervain's tenosynovitis and ganglion over first dorsal extensor retinacular compartment.

Between 1988 to 1991, 80 cases of de Quervain's disease were managed at the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Singapore General Hospital. Six of them had an associated ganglion over the first dorsal retinacular compartment. Five out of 6 cases had intracompartment injections of hydrocortisone and lignocaine but the treatment was not effective in relieving the pain of de Quervain's tenosynovitis. All 6 cases had excision of the ganglion and decompression of the first extensor compartment. All the lumps were found arising from the dorsal aspect of the retinaculum and no intracompartment extension of the ganglion was found.
