Research paper thumbnail of Giant anterior cruciate ligament lesion with destruction: operative management

A case report of a 32-year-old male patient presented to orthopedics outpatient clinic with 2 years history of right knee instability and clicking symptoms with no history of an obvious injury. Magneric resonance imaging showed a giant lesion occupying all ACL structure in the knee with 30×15×15 mm dimensions. The patient had an arthroscopy and it showed destruction of ACL, which required ACL reconstruction in the same sitting. Biopsy results showed a chronic non-specific inflammatory synovial epithelial tissue with increased vascularity and thickened wall vessels.

The results of the study confirm that automobile companies, which operate in a very competitive and dynamic environment need to ensure customer satisfaction and positive brand image, that collectively affect customer loyalty to keep sustainable growth. Keywords: brand image, brand loyalty, market share, satisfaction

The hedonic/enjoyment benefit is the only significantly effective benefit of online shopping where other listed benefits and the risks appear to have an insignificant impact on electronic satisfaction. The e-SQ dimension of "system availability" and the e-recovery dimension of "compensation" were not considered significantly effective on e-satisfaction by the respondents, either. In congruence with the previous research findings, e-satisfaction is a major element of e-loyalty in the growing business of private apparels shopping in Turkey.

Research paper thumbnail of Farmedial versus anteromedial portal drilling of the femoral tunnel in ACL reconstruction: a computed tomography analysis

Tunnel placement plays one of the most significant roles in achieving knee kinematics and function. The purposes of this study were to compare femoral tunnel position, angle, length and posterior wall blow-out after ACL reconstruction with hamstring tendons autograft through either a farmedial portal or an anteromedial portal technique. Materials and methods We evaluated 36 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction between January 2014 and July 2014 in our institute, in a prospective, randomised cohort study. All the surgical procedures were performed by a sports fellowship-trained orthopaedic surgeon with experience in both portal reaming. The operated knees were evaluated with 0.5 mm fine CT scans of 3-D CT between days 3 and 5 postoperatively. Results According to the 3-D CT measurements, the mean femoral tunnel length was significantly longer (p \ 0.05) in the FAM group compared with the AM group. The femoral bone tunnel length averaged 34.2 ± 3.6 mm versus 36.6 ± 3.0 mm (p = 0.042) in AM and the FAM groups, respectively. The femoral tunnel position, as evaluated with use of the quadrant method, was more anterior in the FAM transportal technique group, and the difference between the two groups was significant (p \ 0.05). Conclusion FAM tranportal drilling of the femoral tunnel creates longer and anterior femoral tunnels with regard to the AM portal drilling techniques. Additional studies with clinical outcomes are required for the clinical relevance of these techniques and to show which one is superior. Level of evidence Level I, prospective randomised comparative cohort study.

The incidence of postoperative avascular necrosis is increasing, especially in the case of transepiphyseal fractures. Surgery is the most common form of treatment, and its timing is important for prognosis of the fracture. Patients and their families should be informed about the possibility of avascular necrosis and further complications related to the fracture.
