The multiple ligament injured knee, or the dislocated knee remains a challenge for any orthopedic surgeon because of the high risk of associated neurovascular injury and potential devastating consequences including loss of limb. Although there are several principles that guide management, optimal treatment strategies remain controversial. Each individual patient and each knee injury is unique; therefore, it is very difficult to perform evidenced-based research because in this heterogeneous patient population. Surgical decision making is influenced by the specific knee injury pattern, but also by the associated polytrauma that these patients sustain from high-energy motor vehicle or motorcycle collisions. Our approach to the dislocated knee is based upon the responses to numerous questions. This review will shed some light on the questions we ask and how treatment decisions are made.

Auditory brainstem implants are auditory prostheses designed to treat deafness in patients with neurofibromatosis type II (NF2). The auditory brainstem implant protocol used by our group includes microsurgical and endoscopic placement of the electrode pad, electrophysiologic testing in the operating room to ensure optimal placement, and psychophysical/behavioral testing for appropriate stimulation and longitudinal follow-up of the patient. With this protocol we have achieved excellent outcomes relative to those achieved by other centers. Our methods are described herein. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
