Meniscal Ramp Lesion Repair Without the Need for a Posteromedial Portal.

Medial meniscal ramp injury has gained the attention of orthopaedic surgeons in recent years. It consists of a tear of the peripheral insertion of the posterior horn of the medial meniscus. Its prevalence in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction varies between 9% and 40% according to different studies.

Outcomes of "Over the Top" Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Associated with a Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis in Children.

(1) : The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures in children and adolescents has considerably increased during the last decades due to higher levels of competitive athletic activity, and early sport specialization and professionalization. Contemporary ACL reconstruction techniques have recently been subject to renewed interest in this population. The objective of this study is to report the short- and mid-term results of our physis-sparing ACL reconstruction technique using an "over the top" technique associated with a modified Lemaire procedure.

The Use of β-Blockers and the Risk of Undergoing a Knee Arthroplasty: A Nested Case-Control Study.

Background: Research has indicated that β-blockers may downregulate various inflammatory mediators that are involved in osteoarthritis (OA). The objective of this study was to analyze the likelihood of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) among patients with OA who were being treated with β-blockers.

Methods: A nested case-control study was conducted with use of clinical records from our institutional database.

"Over-the-Top" Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Associated With a Lateral Extra-Articular Tenodesis in Children.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are one of the most frequent injuries in growing children, and they are often associated with other injuries such as meniscal and chondral injuries. In the past, treatment of ACL tears in growing patients relied on activity modification and bracing. However, surgical treatment has prevailed over conservative treatment in recent years.
