From Male Master To Caring Mediator. Lieven De Cauter on utopia, the commons, urban gardening and the changing role of the architect
Get PDFINTRODUCTION This interview took place in early January, 2023 between Belgian philosopher, art historian, writer, and activist, Lieven De Cauter (b. 1959), and Ralph Ghoche, Assistant Professor of Architecture at Barnard College, Columbia University. De Cauter is Professor of the Philosophy of Culture in the Department of Architecture, Urbanism and Planning at KU Leuven and the author of some 20 books. Beyond his academic writings, De Cauter has published poems, essays in architectural critic..
“Literature and Energy” at TALES (Tampere Literary Evenings), 10 April 2024
No full textLooking forward to today's TALES event (Tampere Literary Evenings), where I join author/energy activist Risto Isomäki to talk about literature and energy. Risto Isomäki does not really need an introduction to a Finnish audience, but for an international public it might be interesting to know that he is the author of one of the first novels to explicitly consider man-made future climate catastrophe in his novel The Sands of Sarasvati (Sarasvatin hiekkaa; 2005), also made into a fascinating gr..
Future of the Novel - syllabus update and guest lecture
No full textThe course I am co-teaching with Natalya Bekhta on "The Future of the Novel" is nearing its final stages, with the most recent classes on Bulgarian author Gospodinov's Time Shelter and Polish author Tokarczuk's The House of Day, the House of Night, and the final class in a few weeks on Norwegian author Rimbereid's Solaris corrected. Full updated syllabus below and in this pdf. Today (25 March), instead of a regular class, our students are listening in to a guest lecture by Eric Hayot on "The..
Posterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation
Get PDFThe posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) acts as the primary restraint to posterior tibial translation of the knee. Injuries to the PCL are rare in isolation and more often are associated with multiligament injuries to the knee. Several PCL reconstruction and PCL repair techniques have been described in the literature, but no single technique has been shown to be the most superior. Internal bracing with suture tape augmentation encourages natural healing and allows early mobilization. This article describes, with video illustration, PCL repair with suture tape augmentation
Anterolateral Ligament Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation
Get PDFRecent insights into the structure and function of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) of the knee has resulted in a recognition of its contribution in rotational control of the knee. Several ALL reconstruction techniques have been described in the literature. This article describes, with video illustration, a percutaneous repair technique using suture tape augmentation. A tendon graft is not needed. This technique allows early mobilization and encourages natural healing of the ligament by protecting the ligament during the healing phase as a secondary stabilizer
Posterolateral Corner Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation
Get PDFThe posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee is the main restraint to varus forces of the knee as well as posterolateral rotation of the tibia relative to the femur. Primary PLC repairs have been associated with a high failure rate in past literature. However, with modern improved arthroscopic instrumentation and devices, there has been a renewed interest in repair of the ligaments around the knee. Internal bracing with suture tape augmentation encourages healing and allows early mobilization. This article describes, with video illustration, PLC repair with suture tape augmentation
Combined arthroscopic techniques in the treatment of non-union of the anterior tibial spine
No full textAbstract: We report a non-united tibial spine fracture with instability of the anterior cruciate ligament in a twenty-year-old soccer player. The patient underwent arthroscopy with debridement of scar tissue around the fracture site, reduction and fixation of the bony insertion of the ACL using screw and washer, and femoral notchplasty. More than one year after the initial surgery, the patient fully recovered knee stability and function. We have demonstrated that the additional problems caused by a non-union of a tibial spine fracture can be dealt with in one arthroscopic session
