Current trends in anterior cruciate ligament surgery. A worldwide benchmark study.

Objectives: To benchmark current trends on anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery.

Methods: The largest worldwide ACLR survey to date was performed during May 2020, targeted to reach representation of all continents. It was submitted electronically to all International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports surgeons (n = 3,026), asking those who perform ACLR to respond.

Stenotic Intercondylar Notch as a Risk Factor for Physeal-Sparing ACL Reconstruction Failure: A Case-Control Study.

Introduction: Identifying risk factors is crucial for developing strategies that minimize reinjury after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study aims to determine whether certain features of intercondylar notch geometry are associated with failure of physeal-sparing ACLRs in skeletally immature athletes.

Methods: Nine failed physeal-sparing ACLRs were compared with a control subject group of 15 age- and sex-matched intact physeal-sparing ACLRs.

Multiligamentary Reconstruction in a Below-Knee Amputation Patient.

Multiligament injuries in below-knee amputation patients are a severe condition, and its treatment is controversial. Its incidence is unknown, and it is highly underdiagnosed, representing a challenge for the physician. The case presented is about a patient with a left transtibial amputation secondary to a severe crushing of the ipsilateral lower limb to which during the process of physiotherapy, a multiligament injury was diagnosed.
