No difference was found between double-bundle and single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions in terms of osteoarthritis at 15-year follow-up
Seppanen A, Kiekara T, Suomalainen P, Maenpaa H, Huhtala H, Jarvela T
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc . 2024 May; 32(11):2770-2779. PMID: 38819943
Purpose: The purpose of the study was to determine whether the grade of osteoarthritis (OA) is higher with single-bundle (SB) or double-bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The hypothesis...

Suprapatellar tibial fracture nailing is associated with lower rate for acute compartment syndrome and the need for fasciotomy compared with the infrapatellar approach
Honkonen E, Repo J, Lehtokangas H, Luoma E, Uimonen M, Nurmi S, et al.
J Orthop Traumatol . 2024 Jan; 25(1):5. PMID: 38282098
Background: Intramedullary tibial nailing (IMN) is the gold standard for stabilizing tibial shaft fractures. IMN can be performed through an infra- or suprapatellar approach. Purpose: The aim of this study...

Implementing an orthoplastic treatment protocol for open tibia fractures reduces complication rates in tertiary trauma unit
Ylitalo A, Hurskainen H, Repo J, Kiiski J, Suomalainen P, Kaartinen I
Injury . 2023 Jun; 54(8):110890. PMID: 37391292
Introduction: Open tibia fracture (OTF) causes a considerable increase in morbidity and risk for complications compared to closed fractures. The most significant OTF complication leading to morbidity is commonly considered...

Double bundle ACL reconstruction leads to better restoration of knee laxity and subjective outcomes than single bundle ACL reconstruction
Seppanen A, Suomalainen P, Huhtala H, Maenpaa H, Kiekara T, Jarvela T
Knee Surg Sports Traumatol Arthrosc . 2021 Oct; 30(5):1795-1808. PMID: 34595573
Purpose: The purpose of this meta-analysis is to compare arthroscopic single bundle (SB) and double bundle (DB) anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in the light of all available randomised controlled...

Does the shoe-lace technique aid direct closure of fasciotomy wounds after acute compartment syndrome of the lower leg? A retrospective case-control study
Suomalainen P, Pakarinen T, Pajamaki I, Laitinen M, Laine H, Repo J, et al.
Scand J Surg . 2021 Jun; 110(4):492-497. PMID: 34078192
Background And Objective: Tibia fractures are relatively common injuries that are accompanied with acute compartment syndrome in approximately 2% to 20% of cases. Although the shoe-lace technique, where vessel loops...

Double-Bundle Versus Single-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Prospective Randomized Study With 10-Year Results
Jarvela S, Kiekara T, Suomalainen P, Jarvela T
Am J Sports Med . 2017 Jun; 45(11):2578-2585. PMID: 28661696
Background: A long-term follow-up comparing double-bundle and single-bundle techniques for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has not been reported before. Hypothesis: Double-bundle ACL reconstruction may have fewer graft ruptures, lower...
