Abstract
Background: Extramedullary alignment is a well established surgical technique during total knee replacement. There are different methods to achieve accuracy but variability is quite extensive. To attain uniformity in the surgical technique we have been using the tibialis tendon to align our resection guide. This may prove to be a useful aid for surgeons during knee replacement surgery.

Abstract
Background: Quadriceps tendon ruptures (QTR) are uncommon injuries of knee extensor mechanism. Although immediate repair is necessary to re-establish knee extensor continuity, favorable outcome of QTR reconstruction even several years after injury is reported.

Abstract
Introduction: Consumption of anabolic - androgenic steroids (AAS) is described as a major factor in tendon weakening process. The reports of bilateral quadriceps tendon rupture (QTR) following the AAS consumption are very rare. The current study described a case of simultaneous bilateral QTR following a low - energy trauma in a body builder with the history of ASS consumption.

Abstract
Introduction: Despite its low prevalence, giant cell tumor of tendon sheath (GCTTS) is considered as one of the most common benign tumors in the hand. GCTTS mostly affects tendon sheaths and finger joints; however, its presence in the wrist and Guyon canal is scarcely reported.

Abstract
Traumatic bilateral patellar tendon rupture (BPTR) is a rare injury with low levels of clinical suspicion, especially in young adults. Since early diagnosis of the BPTR is the cornerstone of a successful management, BPTR reports are valuable as they raise awareness of the careful clinical and radiologic workout in similar cases. Here, we present a case of BPTR in a 34-year-old male following a motorcycle accident. At the emergency department, the necessary examinations including clinical, physical, and radiologic tests were performed and BPTR was diagnosed accordingly. The patient underwent reconstruction surgery the day after the injury. At the last follow-up, the patient was able to perform active straight leg raise with 130° flexion and no extension lag. The superior results of BPTR reconstruction in this report further emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and repair of BPTR. Active straight leg raise test is necessary to perform for all patients with a history of an eccentric load of the knee extensor mechanism, and if positive, extensor mechanism rupture should be strongly suspected.

Abstract
Rupture of the extensor mechanism of knee joints is rare in patients without any systemic disease. Many reports have described tendons getting ruptured at various sites of the extensor mechanism. We report a case of patellar tendon avulsion from the tibial tuberosity on the right side and quadriceps tendon avulsion from the patella on the left side sustained in one accident. A 54 years old man presented with the above non-identical bilateral extensor mechanism rupture who had no pre-existing systematic diseases and was not on any steroid treatment. Tendon ruptures were always related to systemic degenerative/inflammatory conditions or usage of steroids. However, the reason for the rupture of different parts of the extensor mechanism after minor trauma in case of tendinopathy or after a significant trauma in a normal patient is not well explained. We believe that the degree of knee flexion at the time of injury plays an important role in the site of rupture of the extensor mechanism.

Abstract
Background: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is an idiopathic or secondary condition. The primary factor contributing to the development of this disorder is the alteration of the median nerve (MN). Two primary categorizations of the median nerve are recognized, referred to as the Lanz and Amadio classification. The Lanz classification is predominantly employed in the surgical literature, and the main contributing factor to CTS development has been group 3 (bifid MN). Moreover, MN’s branches and connections do not align with any specific category. The MN divides into six branches beyond the carpal tunnel in standard anatomical structure. This study reports a case with CTS having anatomical MN variation in the flexor pollicis longus (FPL) tendon.
Case Presentation: The case was a 43-year-old male teacher presented with complaints of paresthesia and intermittent burning pain in his left arm and hand during the night over the past year. However, neurological examination revealed motor and sensory deficits in the patient’s left hand, specifically affecting the MN. Based on the clinical examination and Phalen’s test results, CTS was diagnosed. Additionally, electromyography and nerve conduction studies confirmed the diagnosis. During carpal tunnel release (CTR) surgery, the anatomical variation of the MN was observed in the FPL of the tunnel. In the carpal tunnel, the median nerve divides, while at the same time, the FPL tendon traverses the split MN.
Conclusion: The primary factor leading to CTS is the variability of the MN. Understanding the various types of median nerves contributing to CTS is crucial to reducing potential harm during CTR surgery.
