16. Traumatic patellar dislocation in childhood : late effects on knee function and cartilage quality
Abstract : Background and aim: Acute patellar dislocation affects approximately 1:1000 healthy children 9- 15 years of age, and up to 50% are at risk for recurrent dislocations. In adults the condition is associated with long-term complications, such as osteoarthritis and impairment of knee function. READ MORE

18. On the semitendinosus tendon in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery
Abstract : The aim of this thesis was to address issues concerning the use of the semitendinosus tendon as an autologous transplant in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructive surgery. The specific objectives of the study concern the regenerative capability of the semitendinosus tendon following its harvest, the morphology and function of the semitendinosus muscle following harvesting of its tendon, the potential for ingrowth of the semitendinosus tendon graft into the bone tunnels, the early postoperative morbidity after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with a quadruple sernitendinosus graft as compared to the commonly used bone-patellar tendon-bone graft and, finally, the outcome at a minimum 2-year follow-up on comparing the sernitendinosus tendon graft with the bone-patellar tendon-bone graft.

20. Traumatic patellar dislocation in children : epidemiology, risk factors, the MPFL and treatment outcome
Abstract : The knee joint is one of the most common injury sites in children, with the spectrum of injuries differing from those in adults. Traumatic lateral patellar dislocation (LPD) is the most common serious injury; the incidence is approximately 1/1000 in children 9-15 years of age. The risk for recurrent dislocation is high in this age group. READ MORE
