Translation, cross-cultural adaptation and reliability of the International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective knee form and the tampa scale for kinesiophobia (TSK) into Hebrew.
The International Knee Documentation Committee-Subjective Form (IKDC-SF) is one of the most used measures for evaluating the quality of life among people experiencing knee pain but is not yet available in Hebrew. Similarly, the Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK), used to evaluate fear of movement, is not available in Hebrew. This study aimed to determine the reliability and construct validity of the Hebrew IKDC-SF and TSK among people experiencing chronic knee pain. ⋯ We demonstrated that the Hebrew version of the IKDC-SF and TSK is reliable and valid for assessing QoL, function, and kinesiophobia among people experiencing chronic knee pain.

Clinical, functional, and patient-reported outcome of traumatic knee dislocations: a retrospective cohort study of 75 patients with 6.5-year follow-up.
At present, limited knowledge regarding clinical, functional, and patient-reported outcomes at mid- and long-terms after surgical treatment of traumatic knee dislocations is available. This study aimed to investigate the mid-term recovery regarding clinical, functional, and patient-reported outcomes in patients following knee dislocation with associated multi-ligament injuries. ⋯ With a mean follow-up of 6.5 years, combined repair and reconstruction surgery following a knee dislocation shows good to excellent patient-reported outcome and more than 75% of patients experiencing normal knee functioned evaluated by the IKDC score.

Autologous replacement of the head of the radius-proximal fibula versus second metatarsal base: an anatomic feasibility study.
This study investigated the anatomic feasibility of a new surgical therapy option for radial head arthrosis using an autologous vascularized bone graft of the second metatarsal and proximal fibula to recreate the proximal radiohumeral joint. ⋯ Level IV, anatomic study.

The outcomes of surgical treatment for lateral Hoffa fracture nonunions.
Lateral Hoffa nonunion are rare injuries. A significant percentage of these nonunions are due to missed acute lateral Hoffa fractures. Operative management of these injuries is difficult and complicated by the presence of bone loss, infection, and soft-tissue contractures. In this study, the aim was to assess clinical and functional outcome in our group of patients with lateral Hoffa nonunion who had undergone operative management and to determine whether variables such as fracture type, infection, and previous surgery affect nonunion/complication rates. ⋯ Lateral Hoffa nonunion can be managed with careful planning of surgical approaches and fixation techniques.

Low postoperative complication rate with high survival rate and good clinical outcome 9 years after autologous chondrocyte transplantation of the knee joint.
To investigate postoperative complications and associated risk factors for failure following autologous chondrocyte transplantation ("ACT") as well as its long-term survival and clinical function. It was hypothesized that ACT is a safe technique for cartilage repair with a low incidence of postoperative complications and rare rates of revision surgery combined with a high long-term survival and good to excellent clinical outcome in long-term-follow-up. ⋯ Level III.
