CONCOMITANT INJURIES OF ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT AND MENISCUS
Medicinski Pregled
|April 26, 2018
Summary
Meniscal injuries are common in operated patients, particularly those aged 21-30. Risk factors include recreational sports, non-contact injuries, and higher BMI, with males more prone to medial meniscus tears.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Sports Medicine
- Biomechanics
Background:
- Meniscal injuries are a common orthopedic issue.
- Associated anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are frequently observed.
- Understanding risk factors is crucial for prevention and treatment.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the correlation between meniscal injuries and ACL injuries.
- To identify risk factors associated with meniscal injuries.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 496 operated patients.
- Data collection on patient demographics, injury types, and mechanisms.
- Comparison between patients with and without meniscal injuries.
Main Results:
- Meniscal injuries occurred in 38% of patients, predominantly in the 21-30 age group.
- Recreational athletes and individuals with higher BMI showed increased incidence.
- Non-contact mechanisms, such as landing and sudden directional changes, were common causes.
- Male patients more frequently sustained medial meniscus injuries, often of the "bucket handle" type.
Conclusions:
- Age, recreational sports participation, and increased BMI are significant risk factors for meniscal injuries.
- Non-contact injury mechanisms are strongly associated with meniscal tears.
- Medial meniscus injuries are more prevalent in males and often present as "bucket handle" tears.

4.9K
The anterior neck muscles are the group of muscles covering the front part of the neck. These muscles are classified into three subgroups. The first one is the superficial muscles, the most visible muscles in the front of the neck. It includes the platysma and sternocleidomastoid. The second group is the suprahyoid muscles, located above the hyoid bone. This group comprises the digastric, mylohyoid, geniohyoid, and stylohyoid. Lastly, the infrahyoid muscles are found below the hyoid bone and...

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...
