Chondral lesions are difficult to diagnose as they do not present specific clinical signs. The objective of the study was to establish the prevalence of cartilage injuries in patients undergoing arthroscopy of the knee for knee pain or instability. Materials and methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 355 consecutive knee arthroscopies. Chondral lesions were found in 247 (69.6%) cases. Regarding their location, chondral lesions were more likely to be located on the medial femoral condyle (53.8%), while lesions on the lateral femoral condyle alone (0.8%) were the least frequent ones. Chondral injuries were frequently found with associated articular findings such as meniscal lesions (56.68%) and anterior cruciate ligament tears (2.84%) or both menisci and anterior cruciate ligament tear (15.38%). The ICRS grade II cartilage lesions were most frequently d...

Materials and Methods: We enrolled prospectively 41 patients treated with microfracture procedure for condropathy of the knee. 23 received postoperative 3 intraarticular injections of PRP at 2-weeks intervals. The clinical outcome was evaluated using Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) and International Knee Documentation Committee Subjective Knee Form (IKDC), recorded at 3 and 6 months. Results: At 3 months KOOS improved significant in PRP group (p<0.001), but the difference was not maintained at 6 months (p=0.097). At 3 months IKDC improved significant in PRP group (p=0.002) and the difference was maintained at 6 months (p=0.001). Conclusion: PRP may accelerate the healing process in patients treated with microfracture procedure for condropathy of the knee but t...

Although the high regenerative capacity of this tissue, large osseous defects encountered difficulties in optimal healing process and remain a clinical challenge, demanding surgical procedures. This aim of this study was to evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes using bioactive glass S53P4 (BonAlive�) as a synthetic bone substitute material in some specific orthopedic pathologies like prosthesis revision surgery, and pseudarthrosis.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the efficacy of use of 2 different types of meshes (Polypropylene mesh and ProGripTM mesh-self-gripping mesh) in the surgical treatment of incisional hernias. In this respect, we conducted a study in which we introduced 128 patients operated for incisional hernias. Patients were divided into 2 lots: group A (102 patients with polypropylene mesh) and group B (26 patients with ProGripTM mesh). From the analysis of the data studied, we noticed that the average duration of surgery and hospitalization for patients with ProGripTM mesh is lower compared to patients with polypropylene mesh. Also, the rate of local postoperative complications was lower when using the ProGripTM mesh (15.38%) than in the case of polypropylene mesh. In conclusion, we can state that the use of the ProGripTM heterologous mesh is beneficial in the surgical treat...
