Increased Lateral Femoral Condyle Ratio Measured by Magnetic Resonance Imaging Is Associated With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Rerupture.

Purpose: To investigate the association between lateral femoral condyle ratio (LFCR) measured by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rerupture after anatomic ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and to compare the diagnostic accuracy between MRI and radiograph measurements.

Methods: A retrospective review was conducted on patients who underwent anatomic ACLR in our institution between 2015 and 2018. Patients who experienced rerupture after ACLR were identified and matched 1:1 with control patients who showed no evidence of graft failure during a minimum 48-month follow-up.

An Arthroscopic Pull-Out Suture Technique to Repair Incomplete Radial Tears of the Lateral Meniscus Posterior Horn Adjacent to the Root Attachment Combined With Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Radial tears of the lateral meniscus posterior horn are one of the most common lateral meniscal injuries accompanied by acute anterior cruciate ligament disruption. Meniscus-preserving therapy is recommended in the case of a radial lateral meniscal tear to preserve its dynamic behavior. We introduce an arthroscopic pull-out technique for repairing incomplete radial tears of the lateral meniscus posterior horn combined with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Effect of Joint Infection After Arthroscopic Single-Bundle ACL Reconstruction With Autologous Hamstring Tendon: A Retrospective Matched MRI Study.

Background: Joint infection after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a rare but serious complication.

Purpose: To assess the effect of joint infection on the graft, cartilage, and bone tunnel using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after arthroscopic single-bundle ACL reconstruction with autologous hamstring tendons.

Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.

The apex of the deep cartilage is a stable landmark to evaluate the femoral tunnel position in ACL reconstruction.

Purpose: To develop a simple and effective method for evaluating the femoral tunnel position using the apex of the deep cartilage (ADC) as the landmark.

Methods: A total of 52 patients who underwent arthroscopic ACL reconstruction were recruited between June and September 2021. The femoral tunnel was placed on the central point of the anteromedial footprint with an accessory anteromedial and a high anterolateral portal.

Arthroscopic Anatomical Double-Bundle Medial Patellofemoral Complex Reconstruction Improves Clinical Outcomes in Treating Recurrent Patellar Dislocation Despite Trochlear Dysplasia, Elevated Tibial Tubercle-Trochlear Groove Distance, and Patellar Alta.

Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of arthroscopically assisted double-bundle medial patellofemoral complex reconstruction (MPFC-R).

Methods: A retrospective review was carried out among adult patients who experienced at least 2 patellar dislocations and underwent primary arthroscopically assisted MPFC-R between January 2014 and November 2019. Dejour classification, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, and patellar height (with Insall-Salvati index) were measured.

Patients with isolated posterior cruciate ligament rupture had a higher posterior intercondylar eminence.

Background: To evaluate the anatomic geometry of the posterior intercondylar eminence and its association with PCL injury risk.

Methods: Patients who underwent primary PCL reconstruction from 2015 to 2018 were retrospectively analyzed. The control group included inpatients diagnosed with ACL rupture because of a sports-related accident during the same period, matched by age, gender, height, weight, and side of injury.

Injury patterns in a large-scale ski resort in the host city of 2022 Winter Olympic Games: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Objectives: The aims of the study are to describe the injury patterns among recreational skiers and snowboarders in China and to provide primary data to guide the reconstruction of regional healthcare facilities to deal with the increasing number of participants in snow sports.

Design: Retrospective cross-sectional study.

Methods: A retrospective study was performed in Wanlong Ski Resort in Chongli, China.
