Notchplasty in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: A systematic review of clinical outcomes.

Introduction: Notchplasty is an adjuvant procedure performed during Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with the purpose of widening the intercondylar notch of the femur. Its use is controversial due to its biomechanical influence on the knee and the potential for increased complications. The purpose of this systematic review is to evaluate the outcomes of patients who underwent ACLR with notchplasty.

Clinical Outcomes of Ulnar Collateral Ligament Repair With Internal Brace Versus Ulnar Collateral Ligament Reconstruction in Competitive Athletes.

Background: The increasing prevalence of ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries, particularly in young athletes, necessitates optimization of treatment options. The introduction of UCL repair with internal bracing offers an exciting alternative to traditional UCL reconstruction.

Purpose: To compare midterm outcomes between UCL repair with internal bracing and UCL reconstruction in competitive athletes.
