High return to play rate following treatment of multiple-ligament knee injuries in 136 elite athletes.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to assess return to play rate and timing of elite athletes treated for multi-ligament knee injuries with modern surgical techniques.

Methods: A retrospective review was performed of all professional or national/international level athletes treated for a multi-ligament knee injury by the senior author in the period from February 2001 to October 2019, with a minimum of 2-year follow-up. The study cohort consisted of 136 elite athletes who underwent surgery of two or more knee ligaments.

Anterior cruciate ligament repair - past, present and future.

Background: This article provides a detailed narrative review on the history and current concepts surrounding ligamentous repair techniques in athletic patients. In particular, we will focus on the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) as a case study in ligament injury and ligamentous repair techniques. PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE and Cochrane Library databases for papers relating to primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were searched by all participating authors.

Tightrope fixation of syndesmotic injuries in Weber C ankle fractures: a multicentre case series.

Background: No general consensus has yet been established for the gold standard treatment of ankle syndesmotic complex injuries. Recent literature has documented the success of ankle tightrope fixation for heterogeneous ankle fracture patterns, resulting in syndesmotic complex injuries. We present a multicentre case series assessing the clinical, radiological and functional outcomes of patients with Weber C ankle fractures treated with the Arthrex TightRope fixation system.

Return-to-Sport Outcomes After Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Surgery.

Background: There are limited and inconsistent data regarding return-to-sport outcomes after revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).

Hypothesis: Return-to-sport rates will be lower after revision ACLR when compared with primary ACLR.

Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
