DECREASED SURGICAL DURATION, LESS COMPLICATIONS, AND FASTER RETURN TO ACTIVITIES ACROSS THE LEARNING CURVE FOR THE ARTHROSCOPIC LATARJET TECHNIQUE.

Objetive: This study aims to analyze the learning curves in performing the arthroscopic Latarjet surgery.

Methods: This was an observational, retrospective, single-center study. All cases of arthroscopic Latarjet performed in this institution from 2016 to 2021 were included.

ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION USING THE DOUBLE-BUNDLE TECHNIQUE - EVALUATION IN THE BIOMECHANICS LABORATORY.

Objective: The objective of this study was to describe the methodology of knee rotation analysis using biomechanics laboratory instruments and to present the preliminary results from a comparative study on patients who underwent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using the double-bundle technique.

Methods: The protocol currently used in our laboratory was described. Three-dimensional kinematic analysis was performed and knee rotation amplitude was measured on eight normal patients (control group) and 12 patients who were operated using the double-bundle technique, by means of three tasks in the biomechanics laboratory.
