Fine-Scale Variation in Soil Properties Promotes Local Taxonomic Diversity of Hybridizing Oak Species ( spp.)
Zimmermann F, Reutimann O, Baltensweiler A, Walthert L, Olofsson J, Rellstab C
Evol Appl . 2025 Feb; 18(2):e70076. PMID: 39925616
Although many tree species frequently hybridize and backcross, management decisions in forestry and nature conservation are usually concentrated on pure species. Therefore, understanding which environmental factors drive the distribution and...

Preoperative subjective assessment of disease-specific quality of life significantly influenced the likelihood of achieving the minimal clinically important difference after surgical stabilization for recurrent lateral patellar instability
Milinkovic D, Schmidt S, Fluegel J, Gebhardt S, Zimmermann F, Balcarek P
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc . 2024 Jul; 33(1):86-95. PMID: 39031883
Purpose: To evaluate which factors exert a predictive value for not reaching the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) in patients who underwent a tailored operative treatment for recurrent lateral patellar...

Implications of navigation in thoracolumbar pedicle screw placement on screw accuracy and screw diameter/pedicle width ratio
Mandelka E, Gierse J, Zimmermann F, Gruetzner P, Franke J, Vetter S
Brain Spine . 2023 Nov; 3:101780. PMID: 38020982
Introduction: There is ample evidence that higher accuracy can be achieved in thoracolumbar pedicle screw placement by using spinal navigation. Still, to date, the evidence regarding the influence of the...

When Should Bony Correction Be Considered in Addition to Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction? Results of a Clinically Derived 2-Group Classification of Lateral Patellar Instability Based on 122 Patients at 2- to 5-Year Follow-up
Zimmermann F, Milinkovic D, Zimmerer A, Balcarek P
Orthop J Sports Med . 2023 Feb; 11(1):23259671221147572. PMID: 36743734
Background: The need for concomitant bony procedures to realign pathoanatomic risk factors in addition to medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFL-R) remains unclear. Purpose: To evaluate a clinically derived 2-part classification...

[Computer-assisted procedures in orthopedics and trauma surgery-Where do we stand?]
Zimmermann F, Franke J, Vetter S, Grutzner P
Chirurgie (Heidelb) . 2023 Jan; 94(4):292-298. PMID: 36600030
Computer-assisted procedures are becoming increasingly more relevant in orthopedics and trauma surgery. The data situation on these systems has improved in recent years but still has a low level of...

Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament with nonresorbable suture tape normalizes patellar maltracking independent of patella-side fixation technique
Zimmermann F, Privalov M, Franke J, Grutzner P, Balcarek P, Vetter S
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc . 2022 Dec; 31(7):2870-2876. PMID: 36454291
Purpose: Patellar maltracking caused by a rupture of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) can be improved by MPFL reconstruction (MPFL-R) with a tendon graft. Nonresorbable suture tape (FiberTape, FT) is...

Revision lateralization osteotomy of the tibial tubercle has excellent outcomes in patients suffering from previous medial tibial tubercle overcorrection
Gebhardt S, Zimmerer A, Zimmermann F, Wassilew G, Balcarek P
Arch Orthop Trauma Surg . 2022 Nov; 143(7):4323-4329. PMID: 36418610
Introduction: Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a common procedure used to treat patients with patellofemoral instability (PFI) and osteoarthritis (PFOA). Medial patellar maltracking due to previous excessive medialization of the...

Is the postoperative pedicle screw position after dorsal instrumentation with or without intraoperative cone beam CT imaging worse in patients with obesity than in normal-weight patients?
Zimmermann F, Kohl K, Mandelka E, Grutzner P, Franke J, Vetter S
J Orthop Surg Res . 2022 Nov; 17(1):474. PMID: 36329438
Background: Intraoperative cone beam CT (CBCT) imaging in dorsal instrumentation facilitates pedicle screw positioning. However, in patients with obesity, the benefit may be reduced due to artifacts that affect image...

Soft-tissue fixation is not inferior to suture-anchor fixation in reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament using a nonresorbable suture tape
Zimmermann F, Schonhoff M, Jager S, Milinkovic D, Franke J, Grutzner P, et al.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc . 2022 Aug; 31(1):292-298. PMID: 35994076
Purpose: Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL-R) with nonresorbable suture tape (FiberTape, FT) is becoming popular. Patella-side fixation of the FT can be performed with suture anchors or via...

Patients older than 55 years regain sporting and recreational activities after arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
Ogunleye P, Jager H, Zimmermann F, Balcarek P, Sobau C, Ellermann A, et al.
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc . 2022 Aug; 31(2):632-640. PMID: 35988115
Purpose: (1) To compare sporting and recreational activity levels before and at a minimum 6 year follow-up, and (2) to assess the clinical and functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament...
