Abstract
This case report presents a 38-year-old male patient who developed a false aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery after minimally invasive plate internal fixation of a comminuted articular distal femoral fracture sustained in a motor vehicle accident. Two days after surgery, the patient developed pain, non-pulsatile swelling on the medial side of the knee and anemia. After about six weeks, diagnosis of false aneurysm of the superficial femoral artery was confirmed by duplex ultrasound and computed tomographic angiography. A percutaneous endovascular procedure was performed to treat the false aneurysm without evacuating the blood collection.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION The objective of this review is to give a state of affairs of meniscal transplantation, with the accent on preservation and surgical techniques. MATERIALS AND METHODS All articles were selected by performing a search on the literature by using relevant keywords. The most relevant articles were selected with close attention to the publication date. RESULTS When a meniscal tear is diagnosed, suture can be an option in the vascular zone, whereas the more frequently affected avascular zone heals poorly. A meniscectomy however is not without consequences, wherefore meniscal transplantation can be seen as a therapeutic option for pain reduction and improvement of function when the meniscus is lost. The meniscal scaffold, allograft and autograft can be currently withheld as possible grafts, where the meniscal scaffolds hold great promise as an alternative to the allograft. Various fixation techniques are therefore developed, where viable, deep frozen as well as cryopreservated allografts seem to give the most promising short term results. The transplantation can be performed using an open as well as an arthroscopic technique, using soft tissue fixation, bone plugs or blocks. De primacy of one technique can't be proven. In general meniscal transplantation can be considered as an acceptable procedure. DISCUSSION Since the outcomes of different studies are difficult to compare, an attempt should be made to limit new studies to the comparison of one aspect. We can conclude that larger, more comparative randomised controlled long-term studies are necessary to resolve which techniques can give the best long-term results.

Abstract
PURPOSE To analyze anatomical risk factors and surgical technique dependent variables, which determine the risk for femoral notch impingement in anatomically correct placed tibial tunnels for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery. METHODS Twenty fresh frozen adult human knee specimens under the age of 65 years were used. Digital templates mimicking a tibial tunnel aperture at the tibia plateau were designed for different tibial tunnel diameters and different drill-guide angles. The centres of these templates were placed over the geometric centre of the native tibial ACL footprint. The distances between the anterior borders of the templates and the anterior borders of the footprints (graft free zone) were measured and compared. Furthermore, anatomic risk factors for femoral notch impingement were determined. RESULTS The graft free zone was statistically significantly longer for larger drill-guide angles compared to smaller drill-guide angles (p < 0.00001). Furthermore, 8 mm diameter tibial tunnels had a statistically significant larger graft free zone compared to 10-mm-diameter tibial tunnels (p < 0.00001). For the 10 mm diameter tibial tunnels with drill-guide angle of 45°, 9 out of 20 knees (45 %) were "at risk" for notching and 4 out of 20 knees (20 %) had "definite" notching. For 10-mm tunnels with drill-guide angle of 45°, a risk for notching was associated with smaller tibial ACL footprint (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION If a perfect centrally positioned tibial tunnel is drilled, a real risk for femoral notch impingement exists depending on the size of the tibial ACL footprint and surgery-related factors. Therefore, in anatomical tibial tunnel placement in single bundle ACL reconstruction surgery, particular attention should be paid to size of the tunnel and drill-guide angle to minimize the risk of femoral notch impingement.

Abstract
We have investigated the benefits of patient specific instrument guides, applied to osteotomies around the knee. Single, dual and triple planar osteotomies were performed on tibias or femurs in 14 subjects. In all patients, a detailed pre-operative plan was prepared based upon full leg standing radiographic and CT scan information. The planned level of the osteotomy and open wedge resection was relayed to the surgery by virtue of a patient specific guide developed from the images. The mean deviation between the planned wedge angle and the executed wedge angle was 0° (-1 to 1, sd 0.71) in the coronal plane and 0.3° (-0.9 to 3, sd 1.14) in the sagittal plane. The mean deviation between the planned hip, knee, ankle angle (HKA) on full leg standing radiograph and the post-operative HKA was 0.3° (-1 to 2, sd 0.75). It is concluded that this is a feasible and valuable concept from the standpoint of pre-operative software based planning, surgical application and geometrical accuracy of outcome.

Abstract
A retrospective study was conducted to investigate the changes in metal ion levels in a consecutive series of Birmingham Hip Resurfacings (BHRs) at a minimum ten-year follow-up. We reviewed 250 BHRs implanted in 232 patients between 1998 and 2001. Implant survival, clinical outcome (Harris hip score), radiographs and serum chromium (Cr) and cobalt (Co) ion levels were assessed. Of 232 patients, 18 were dead (five bilateral BHRs), 15 lost to follow-up and ten had been revised. The remaining 202 BHRs in 190 patients (136 men and 54 women; mean age at surgery 50.5 years (17 to 76)) were evaluated at a minimum follow-up of ten years (mean 10.8 years (10 to 13.6)). The overall implant survival at 13.2 years was 92.4% (95% confidence interval 90.8 to 94.0). The mean Harris hip score was 97.7 (median 100; 65 to 100). Median and mean ion levels were low for unilateral resurfacings (Cr: median 1.3 µg/l, mean 1.95 µg/l (< 0.5 to 16.2); Co: median 1.0 µg/l, mean 1.62 µg/l (< 0.5 to 17.3)) and bilateral resurfacings (Cr: median 3.2 µg/l, mean 3.46 µg/l (< 0.5 to 10.0); Co: median 2.3 µg/l, mean 2.66 µg/l (< 0.5 to 9.5)). In 80 unilateral BHRs with sequential ion measurements, Cr and Co levels were found to decrease significantly (p < 0.001) from the initial assessment at a median of six years (4 to 8) to the last assessment at a median of 11 years (9 to 13), with a mean reduction of 1.24 µg/l for Cr and 0.88 µg/l for Co. Three female patients had a > 2.5 µg/l increase of Co ions, associated with head sizes ≤ 50 mm, clinical symptoms and osteolysis. Overall, there was no significant difference in change of ion levels between genders (Cr, p = 0.845; Co, p = 0.310) or component sizes (Cr, p = 0.505; Co, p = 0.370). Higher acetabular component inclination angles correlated with greater change in ion levels (Cr, p = 0.013; Co, p = 0.002). Patients with increased ion levels had lower Harris hip scores (p = 0.038). In conclusion, in well-functioning BHRs the metal ion levels decreased significantly at ten years. An increase > 2.5 µg/l was associated with poor function.

Abstract
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of two frequently used non-operative treatment techniques for a stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty. METHODS Sixty-four patients with a stiff knee after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) were randomized into a manipulation under anaesthesia group, or a low load stretch (stretch) group. The patients were followed up for 6 weeks and were evaluated for maximum flexion and extension, range of motion (ROM), pain, stiffness and function. RESULTS Both groups showed a significant increase in knee flexion in this study. Only the stretch group showed a significant increase in extension ROM. In both groups, a significant increase in Western Ontario and McMaster Universities was observed. No significant difference was observed between both groups for the flexion or extension ROM, or for any of the pain, function or stiffness scores during this study. CONCLUSIONS The results of this study showed that the stretch technique had equal or superior results concerning ROM and function compared to manipulation under anaesthesia. The stretch technique achieved this without requiring the patient to undergo in-hospital treatment or anaesthesia, limiting the costs and the risks for complications. The results of this study showed that stretching is a valuable tool for treating joint contractures of the knee. Therefore, the use of this stretching technique may be an excellent first choice of treatment modality in patients with slow progress of knee flexion or persistent knee stiffness following TKA, prior to manipulation under anaesthesia or lysis of adhesions.

Abstract
A central goal of neuroscience is to understand how populations of neurons build and manipulate representations of percepts that provide useful information about the environment. This symposium explores the fundamental properties of these representations and the perceptual spaces in which they are organized. Spanning the domains of color, visual texture, environmental sound, music, tactile quality, and odor, we show how the geometric structures of perceptual spaces can be determined experimentally and how these structures provide insights into the principles of neural coding and the neural mechanisms that generate the codes, and into the neural processing of complex sensory stimuli. The diversity of the neural architecture in these different sensory systems provides an opportunity to compare their different solutions to common problems: the need for dimensionality reduction, strategies for topographic or nontopographic mapping, the utility of the higher-order statistical structure inherent in natural sensory stimuli, and the constraints of neural hardware.

Abstract
Obtaining a balanced flexion gap with correct femoral component rotation is one of the prerequisites for a successful outcome after total knee replacement (TKR). Different techniques for achieving this have been described. In this study we prospectively compared gap-balancing versus measured resection in terms of reliability and accuracy for femoral component rotation in 96 primary TKRs performed in 96 patients using the Journey system. In 48 patients (18 men and 30 women) with a mean age of 65 years (45 to 85) a tensor device was used to determine rotation. In the second group of 48 patients (14 men and 34 women) with a mean age of 64 years (41 to 86), an 'adapted' measured resection technique was used, taking into account the native rotational geometry of the femur as measured on a pre-operative CT scan. Both groups systematically reproduced a similar external rotation of the femoral component relative to the surgical transepicondylar axis: 2.4° (SD 2.5) in the gap-balancing group and 1.7° (SD 2.1) in the measured resection group (p = 0.134). Both gap-balancing and adapted measured resection techniques proved equally reliable and accurate in determining femoral component rotation after TKR. There was a tendency towards more external rotation in the gap-balancing group, but this difference was not statistically significant (p = 0.134). The number of outliers for our 'adapted' measured resection technique was much lower than reported in the literature.

Abstract
High-flexion total knee replacement (TKR) designs have been introduced to improve flexion after TKR. Although the early results of such designs were promising, recent literature has raised concerns about the incidence of early loosening of the femoral component. We compared the minimum force required to cause femoral component loosening for six high-flexion and six conventional TKR designs in a laboratory experiment. Each TKR design was implanted in a femoral bone model and placed in a loading frame in 135° of flexion. Loosening of the femoral component was induced by moving the tibial component at a constant rate of displacement while maintaining the same angle of flexion. A stereophotogrammetric system registered the relative movement between the femoral component and the underlying bone until loosening occurred. Compared with high-flexion designs, conventional TKR designs required a significantly higher force before loosening occurred (p < 0.001). High-flexion designs with closed box geometry required significantly higher loosening forces than high-flexion designs with open box geometry (p = 0.0478). The presence of pegs further contributed to the fixation strength of components. We conclude that high-flexion designs have a greater risk for femoral component loosening than conventional TKR designs. We believe this is attributable to the absence of femoral load sharing between the prosthetic component and the condylar bone during flexion.

Abstract
Objective: Investigate and analyze the relationship between individual ossicular erosion and ABG among patients with cholesteatoma. Data from patients undergoing initial surgery for cholesteatoma were retrospectively reviewed to evaluate the relationships between preoperative PTA data, intraoperative assessment of individual ossicular destruction, and clinical characterization of cholesteatoma. Method: For each patient, the cholesteatoma was categorized as primary acquired, secondary acquired, congenital, or unable to discern. Ossicular destruction was graded, and ABG was calculated. For each ossicle, the relationship between degree of cholesteatoma involvement and ossicular erosion and the ABG were analyzed using univariate and multivariate linear regression. Results: A total of 158 primary cholesteatoma surgeries were performed by the senior author between 1992 and 2009 that met our inclusion criteria. The status of each ossicle was significantly associated with the ABG in a graded and independent manner; this association was most significant for the incus. Cholesteatoma abutting an intact ossicle did not significantly affect the ABG. Clinical categorization of cholesteatoma was not significantly associated with the ABG. Conclusion: Via the use of a new and detailed grading scale, this study reveals that the erosion of each ossicle contributes in a graded and independent manner to the increase in ABG, with the status of the incus having the most statistically significant association with ABG.
