This clinical practice guideline summarizes the evidence for treating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Strong evidence supports obtaining a history and physical exam to diagnose an ACL injury and using MRI to confirm injury and identify other knee damage. For skeletally immature patients and active young adults, limited evidence supports surgical reconstruction to reduce instability and risk of further injury. The guideline makes recommendations for various treatment approaches, such as repairing meniscal tears during ACL reconstruction, addressing recurrent instability, and ACL reconstruction timing.
Discoid meniscus is a congenital abnormality of the lateral compartment of the knee and not only a big meniscus
The leading cause of non traumatic snapping and extension deficit in children and adolescents
Clinical examination is more sensitive and specific for diagnosis
MRI is a good tool for diagnosis
Meniscal preserving surgeries are recommended to avoid degenerative arthritis
Long-term follow-up studies are needed to determine the effects of meniscal Saucerization and repair on the risk of OA.

Correlation between acl injury and involvement of the anterolateral ligament ...Prof. Hesham N. Mustafa
Background:
Clinical testing has demonstrated the role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) in controlling anterolateral laxity and knee instability at high angles of flexion. Few studies have discussed the association between an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury and ALL injury, specifically after residual internal rotation and a post-ACL reconstruction positive pivot-shift that could be attributed to ALL injury. The goal of this study was to assess the correlation between ALL injury and ALL injury with concomitant ACL injury using MRI.
Material and Methods:
This was a retrospective study of 246 patients with unilateral ACL knee injuries from a database that was reexamined to identify whether ALL injuries occurred in association with ACL injuries. We excluded the postoperative reconstructed cases. The charts were reviewed on the basis of the presence or absence of diagnosed ACL injury with no regard for age or sex.
Results:
Of the 246 patients with ACL injury, there were 165 (67.1%) patients with complete tears, 55 (22.4%) with partial tears, and 26 (10.6%) with sprains. There were 176 (71.5%) patients with ALL and associated ACL injuries, whereas 70 (28.5%) did not have associated ACL injuries. There was a significant statistical relationship between ACL and ALL injuries (P<0.0001).
Conclusions:
There is high incidence of ALL tears associated with ACL injuries. Clinicians should be aware of this injury and consider the possibility of simultaneous ALL and ACL repair to prevent further knee instability.
Level of Evidence:
Level IV.

Open Operative Treatment for Anterior Shoulder Instability | Orthopedic Surge...Peter Millett MD
Open surgical treatment for primary anterior glenohumeral instability is reliable and time-tested and can yield excellent clinical results. With advancements in arthroscopic technique, there has been a growing trend toward arthroscopic treatment of anterior shoulder instability. In many instances, arthroscopic treatment is preferred by patients and surgeons because it is minimally invasive, obviating the need for releasing and repairing the subscapularis; because it allows better identification and treatment of associated pathological conditions; and because it decreases morbidity and facilitates an outpatient approach. Furthermore, recent studies have demonstrated that the results of arthroscopic treatment of recurrent traumatic anterior instability are comparable with those achieved historically with open procedures.

Open fractures are unique, complex, and emergently presenting injuries that expose sterile bone to the contaminated environment.
Because a fracture disrupts the intramedullary blood supply, the additionally stripped soft tissue envelope further devitalizes the bone.
The more severe the soft tissue injury or open wound, the more severe the osseous injury.
Historically, open fractures were associated with infection, delayed union, nonunion, amputation, or death.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Follow us on: Pinterest
Introduction
Many have been interested in Tom Selleck health. not only because of his enduring presence on screen but also because of the challenges. and lifestyle choices he has faced and made over the years. This article delves into the various aspects of Tom Selleck health. exploring his fitness regimen, diet, mental health. and the challenges he has encountered as he ages. We'll look at how he maintains his well-being. the health issues he has faced, and his approach to ageing .
Early Life and Career
Childhood and Athletic Beginnings
Tom Selleck was born on January 29, 1945, in Detroit, Michigan, and grew up in Sherman Oaks, California. From an early age, he was involved in sports, particularly basketball. which played a significant role in his physical development. His athletic pursuits continued into college. where he attended the University of Southern California (USC) on a basketball scholarship. This early involvement in sports laid a strong foundation for his physical health and disciplined lifestyle.
Transition to Acting
Selleck's transition from an athlete to an actor came with its physical demands. His first significant role in "Magnum P.I." required him to perform various stunts and maintain a fit appearance. This role, which he played from 1980 to 1988. necessitated a rigorous fitness routine to meet the show's demands. setting the stage for his long-term commitment to health and wellness.
Fitness Regimen
Workout Routine
Tom Selleck health and fitness regimen has evolved. adapting to his changing roles and age. During his "Magnum, P.I." days. Selleck's workouts were intense and focused on building and maintaining muscle mass. His routine included weightlifting, cardiovascular exercises. and specific training for the stunts he performed on the show.
Selleck adjusted his fitness routine as he aged to suit his body's needs. Today, his workouts focus on maintaining flexibility, strength, and cardiovascular health. He incorporates low-impact exercises such as swimming, walking, and light weightlifting. This balanced approach helps him stay fit without putting undue strain on his joints and muscles.
Importance of Flexibility and Mobility
In recent years, Selleck has emphasized the importance of flexibility and mobility in his fitness regimen. Understanding the natural decline in muscle mass and joint flexibility with age. he includes stretching and yoga in his routine. These practices help prevent injuries, improve posture, and maintain mobilit
1. Practical guidelines ACL
Mohamed Abulsoud (M.D)
Lecturer of orthopedic surgery

Cairo- Egypt
2. Introduction
• This clinical practice guideline is based on a
systematic review of published studies on the
treatment of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)
injuries in skeletally mature and immature
patients. In addition to providing practice
recommendations,
• this guideline also highlights gaps in the
literature and areas that require future
research.
3. HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAMINATION
• Strong evidence supports that the practitioner
should obtain a relevant history and perform a
musculoskeletal exam of the lower
extremities, because these are effective
diagnostic tools for ACL injury.
4. ACL RADIOGRAPHS
• In the absence of reliable evidence, it is the
opinion of the work group that in the initial
evaluation of a person with a knee injury and
associated symptoms and signs that the
practitioner obtain AP and lateral knee xrays
to identify fractures or dislocations requiring
emergent care.
5. MAGNETIC RESONANCE IMAGING
(MRI)
• Strong evidence supports that the MRI can
provide confirmation of ACL injury and assist
in identifying concomitant knee pathology
such as other ligament, meniscal, or articular
cartilage injury.
6. ACL PEDIATRIC
• There is limited evidence in skeletally
immature patients with torn ACLs, but it
supports that the practitioner might perform
surgical reconstruction because it reduces
activity related disability and recurrent
instability which may lead to additional injury.
7. YOUNG ACTIVE ADULT
• Moderate evidence supports surgical
reconstruction in active young adult (18-35)
patients with an ACL tear.
8. MENISCAL REPAIR
• There is limited evidence in patients with
combined ACL tears and reparable meniscus
tears, but it supports that the practitioner
might repair these meniscus tears when
combined with ACL reconstruction because it
improves patient outcomes.
• Nine low strength and two very low strength studies were included in this
recommendation
9. RECURRENT INSTABILITY
• There is limited evidence comparing non-
operative treatment to ACL reconstruction in
patients with recurrent instability, but it
supports that the practitioner might perform
ACL reconstruction because this procedure
reduces pathologic laxity.
10. CONSERVATIVE TREATMENT
• There is limited evidence to support non-
surgical management for less active patients
with less laxity
11. ACL SURGERY TIMING
• When ACL reconstruction is indicated,
moderate evidence supports reconstruction
within five months of injury to protect the
articular cartilage and menisci
12. ACL COMBINED MCL
• There is limited evidence in patients with
acute ACL tear and MCL tear to support that
the practitioner might perform reconstruction
of the ACL and non-operative treatment of the
MCL tear.
13. ACL LOCKED KNEE
• In the absence of reliable evidence, it is the
opinion of the work group that patients with
an ACL tear and a locked knee secondary to a
displaced meniscal tear have prompt
treatment to unlock the knee in order to avoid
a fixed flexion contracture.
14. SINGLE OR DOUBLE BUNDLE
RECONSTRUCTION
• Strong evidence supports that in patients
undergoing intra-articular ACL reconstruction
the practitioner should use either single
bundle or double bundle technique, because
the measured outcomes are similar.
15. AUTOGRAFT VS ALLOGRAFT
• Strong evidence supports that in patients
undergoing ACL reconstructions, the
practitioner should use either autograft or
allograft tissue, because the measured
outcomes are similar.
• These results may not be generalizable to all
allografts or all patients, such as young
patients or highly active patients
16. AUTOGRAFT SOURCE
• Strong evidence supports that in patients
undergoing intra-articular ACL reconstruction
using autograft tissue the practitioner should
use bone-patellar tendon-bone or hamstring
tendon grafts, because the measured
outcomes are similar.
17. FEMORAL TUNNEL TECHNIQUE
• Moderate evidence supports that in patients
undergoing intra-articular ACL reconstruction
the practitioner could use either a tibial
independent approach or transtibial approach
for the femoral tunnel, because the measured
outcomes are similar.
18. POST-OP FUNCTIONAL BRACING
• Moderate evidence does not support the
routine use of functional knee bracing after
isolated ACL reconstruction, because there is
no demonstrated efficacy.
19. ACL PROPHYLACTIC BRACES
• Limited evidence supports that the
practitioner might not prescribe prophylactic
knee braces to prevent ACL injury, because
they do not reduce the risk for ACL injury.
21. POST-OP PHYSICAL THERAPY
• Moderate evidence supports early,
accelerated, and non-accelerated protocols
because they have similar outcomes.
22. RETURN TO SPORTS
• Limited strength evidence does not support
waiting a specific time from surgery/ injury, or
achieving a specific functional goal prior to
return to sports participation after ACL injury
or reconstruction
23. • Criteria of return to sport
Full ROM
No effusion
Strength at least 80% fro the
non-injured limb.
Single- limb hop test at least
90%.
Satisfactory neuromuscular
control and normal
movements.
RETURN TO SPORTS
