The rare isolated adult Chaput-Tillaux fracture: two case reports and review of...
Campos Pereira, Eva; Rosa, João Maia; Diniz, Sara Elisa; Pereira, Filipa; Sapage, Rita; Soares, Daniel; Costa, LuisThe authors present two isolated chaput-tillaux fractures in an adult skeleton. A high level of suspicion is required to prevent diagnostic failure. Computerized tomography scan detects hidden fractures and enables a more detailed preoperative assessment of each case. Most of the cases reported in the literature are associated with other ankle lesions. This typical juvenile pattern is rare in the adults and ide...
The role of the femoral anterior offset index (AOI) on the degree of flexion in...
Rosa, João Maia; Vide, João; Carvalho, Maria Miguel; Duarte, António; Cruz, Henrique; Fontes, Ana Paula; Sousa, João PauloBackground: Anterior projection of the femoral condyles is often disregarded as an issue in knee arthroplasty. Overstuffing the patellofemoral joint may limit knee flexion and be a source of patellofemoral complications, thus having an impact in satisfaction rates after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Our hypothesis is that excessive anterior projection of the femoral condyles as a negative effect in flexion ran...
