Effect of Skeletal Maturity on Fixation Techniques for Tibial Eminence Fractures Publication: Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine Date: November 12, 2021 Authors: Andrew P Thome Jr, Ryan O'Donnell, Steven F DeFroda, Brian H Cohen, Aristides I Cruz Jr, Braden C Fleming, Brett D Owens Abstract Background: Several fixation methods have been reported for the [...]
Lateral Patellofemoral Ligament: An Anatomic Study Publication: Orthopaedic Journal of Sports Medicine Date: December 2017 Authors: Shah KN, DeFroda SF, Ware JK, Koruprolu SC, Owens BD Abstract BACKGROUND: Medial instability of the patellofemoral joint is a rare but known phenomenon that may result from an incompetent lateral patellofemoral ligament (LPFL). Surgical reconstruction of the LPFL [...]
Publication: Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery Date: February 2016 Authors: Born TR, Biercevicz AM, Koruprolu SC, Paller D, Spenciner D, Fadale PD Link to Full Text Abstract PURPOSE: To evaluate and compare two adjustable femoral cortical suspensory fixation devices used for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction through a novel, direct computed tomography (CT) [...]
Publication: Journal of Orthopaedic Research Date: August 2015 Authors: Biercevicz AM, Proffen BL, Murray MM, Walsh EG, Fleming BC Link to Full Text Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) variables, such as T2* and volume, can predict the healing ligament structural properties. How these MR variables relate to semi-quantitative histology of the healing ACL is yet [...]
Publication: Journal of Biomechanics Date: April 2015 Authors: Biercevicz AM, Akelman MR, Rubin LE, Walsh EG, Merck D, Fleming BC Link to Full Text Abstract The combination of healing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) volume and the distributions of T2(*) relaxation times within it have been shown to predict the biomechanical failure properties in a porcine [...]
Publication: The American journal of sports medicine Date: March 2015 Authors: Biercevicz AM, Akelman MR, Fadale PD, Hulstyn MJ, Shalvoy RM, Badger GJ, Tung GA, Oksendahl HL, Fleming BC Link to Full Text Abstract BACKGROUND: Clinical, functional, and patient-oriented outcomes are commonly used to evaluate the efficacy of treatments after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury; [...]
Publication: The Journal of orthopaedic research Date: April 2014 Authors: Biercevicz AM, Murray MM, Walsh EG, Miranda DL, Machan JT, Fleming BC Link to Full Text Abstract Our objective was to develop a non-invasive magnetic resonance (MR) method to predict the structural properties of a healing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using volume and T2 * [...]
Publication: The Journal of Knee Surgery Date: April 2014 Authors: Behrens SB, Lee BJ, Paller D, Hoffman E, Heard WM, Monchik KO, Fadale PD Link to Full Text Abstract The aim of this study is to evaluate the mechanical properties of a revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction after redrilling the original tibial bone tunnel [...]
Publication: American Journal of Orthopedics Date: April 2013 Authors: Wendell Mr Heard, David J Paller, Melissa A Christino, Steve B Behrens, Alison Biercevicz, Paul D Fadale, Keith O Monchik Link to Full Text Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of soft-tissue grafts following a single interference screw insertion of [...]
Publication: Arthroscopy: The Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery Date: September 2013 Authors: Vopat B, Paller D, Machan JT, Avery A, Kane P, Christino M, Fadale P Link to Full Text Abstract PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) fixation using a bioabsorbable interference screw (BIS) and a supplemental [...]
Publication: The Journal of Knee Surgery Date: June 2013 Authors: Sawyer GA, Anderson BC, Paller D, Heard WM, Fadale PD Link to Full Text Abstract Tibial-sided fixation of soft tissue grafts in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has often been identified as the weak link in the fixation construct, with interference screws being a commonly [...]
Publication: The American Journal of Sports Medicine Date: January 2012 Authors: Behrens S, Bruce B, Zonno A, Paller D, Green A Link to Full Text Abstract BACKGROUND: The outcome of rotator cuff repair correlates with tendon healing. Early studies of arthroscopic rotator cuff repair demonstrate lower healing rates than traditional open techniques. Transosseous-equivalent repair techniques [...]
