Does medial patellofemoral ligament ( MPFL ) reconstruction improve radiographic measures of patella alta in children?
MPFL reconstruction in children using hamstring autograft was associated with consistently improved patellar height indices to within normal childhood ranges. This associated improvement of patellar height as measured on a lateral radiograph may subsequently improve patellofemoral mechanics by drawing the patella deeper and more medially into the trochlear groove.
Hypertonic saline 5% has significant effects on the oxidant responses compared to mannitol following TBI that makes HTS as a perfect therapeutic intervention for reducing unfavorable outcomes in TBI patients.
