Gout and coexisting pseudogout ...
Purpose We report the unusual case of a 63-year-old man with gout and coexisting pseudogout (calcium pyrophosphate dihydrate crystal deposition dise ...
Biomechanical characterization ...
cruciate ligament autografts is an interesting technique because no hardware is necessary. To date, no biomechanical data exist describing an implan ...
Arthroscopic meniscal allograft ...
Partial or total meniscectomy are common procedures performed at Orthopedic Surgery departments. Despite providing a great relief of pain, it has be ...
Can a clinical test of hamstrin ...
