Staged Soft Tissue Reconstruction of Traumatic Right Foot Degloving Using Wound Matrix
Background: Traumatic degloving injuries of the foot are rare but carry a substantial risk of limb loss, particularly in the presence of exposed underlying tendon, bone, or joints. We present a case report of a severe traumatic foot degl...

Suture Anchor Fixation Combined With Transosseous Tunnels for a Large Patellar Osteochondral Fracture After Acute Patellar Dislocation
Patellar osteochondral fractures (OCFs) are common concomitant injuries in acute patellar dislocation, particularly in adolescents. Large free fragments (>15 mm in diameter) are relatively rare and require surgical reduction and fixation...

A Distinct Posterior Cruciate Ligament Avulsion Fracture Involving the Weight-bearing Lateral Tibial Plateau as a Single Fragment: A Case Report
Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures usually involve the tibial insertion as a discrete fragment. Although combined PCL avulsion and tibial plateau fractures have been described, a continuous fracture fragment involving b...

Characterization of Infrapatellar Fat Pad-derived Cell Concentrates Obtained During Knee Arthroscopy: Nonenzymatic Versus Enzymatic Processing
Background: This exploratory laboratory study compared infrapatellar fat pad (IPFP)-derived cell concentrates obtained by non-enzymatic and collagenase-based processing with respect to cell yield, an adherent/proliferative fraction, sele...
