“…The intraoperative findings of the MCL at the time of autograft preparation showed a well-integrated and stable MCL. It has been suggested the MCL does not need to be repaired in combination with ACL injuries [7], but especially in these cases, we suspect residual displacement of the MCL fibers bears a higher risk of reconstruction failure owing to possibly increased risk of residual valgus laxity.…”

When the superficial fibers of the medial collateral ligament of the knee are torn without tearing of the deep fibers, the anterior superficial fibers may displace over the pes anserinus tendons, so that healing back to the tibial insertion site may be jeopardized. As only the anterior superficial and not the posterior superficial or deep fibers are disrupted, the knee will not have increased valgus laxity in extension whereas there is not a firm end point in 30°flexion. The clinical findings could be confused with those of a Grade 2 medial collateral ligament sprain that generally is not associated with displacement of the anterior fibers over the pes anserinus tendons. We describe the diagnostic findings confirmed with surgical exploration of two Stener-like disruptions of the medial collateral ligament of the knee.

“…However, knee joint injuries are the most frequent kind of ski injuries and may lead to serious health problems, especially in competitive ski racers (4,6). The most frequent types of knee injuries among ski injuries are injury of the anterior cruciate ligament or the medial collateral ligament (19). Authors revealed that knee injuries account for approximately 27%-35% of all types of injuries (7).…”

This study aimed to compare content and apparent ileal digestibility of protein and amino acids in diets used over 1 year (4 feeding periods) on 2 farms of reproductive polar foxes (A and B). Two diets (1 from farm A, 1 from farm B) from the same feeding period were tested in succession (4 eight-day digestibility experiments) on 5 polar foxes with 'end-to-end' ileorectal anastomosis. The main protein sources were poultry, fish, and beef offal in diets A and beef offal in diets B. In diets A, considerably higher content of protein and total essential and nonessential amino acids was found. In each feeding period, diets B had higher (P < 0.05) digestibility of protein and amino acids including sulfur-containing amino acids. Methionine was the amino acid of the highest digestibility in diets A and arginine in diets B. In the diets from both farms, high digestibility was noted for histidine, lysine, phenylalanine, glutamic acid, and proline. The lowest digestibility was recorded for cystine. Too high a content of ash in diets A reduced (P < 0.05) digestibility of protein and amino acids. Diversified composition of feeds for polar foxes provides a definitely higher supply of digestible protein and amino acids.

“…Experimental studies have suggested that PRP stimulates ligament healing. In addition, PRP increases the synthesis of matrix and collagen, stimulates cell proliferation in the tendon, reduces pain, promotes bone integration, and reduces postoperative complications in MCL lesions and anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions 7 . We aimed to evaluate the tensile strength of MCL of rabbits treated with plateletrich plasma as compared to a control group.…”

Purpose: To evaluate the use of platelet-rich plasma in the early stages of healing of traumatic injury of the medial collateral ligament in the knee of rabbits. Methods: Thirty rabbits were subjected to surgical lesion of the medial collateral ligament. Of these, 16 were treated with platelet-rich plasma and 14 with saline (control). After 3 and 6 weeks of treatment, 50% of the animals from each group were sacrificed, and biomechanical tests were performed on the injured ligament to compare the tensile strength between the two groups. Results: Platelet-rich plasma significantly increased the tensile strength of the ligament in the groups treated after3 and 6 weeks. In the group treated with platelet-rich plasma vs. saline, the tensile strength values were 3192.5 ± 189.7 g/f vs. 2851.1 ± 193.1 g/f at3 weeks (p = 0.005) and 5915.6 ± 832.0 g/f vs. 4187.6 ± 512.9 g/f at 6 weeks (p = 0.0001). Conclusion:The use of platelet-rich plasma at the injury site accelerated ligament healing in an animal model, demonstrated by an increase in the tensile strength of the medial collateral ligament.
