Ruptures of the quadriceps tendon (QT) are rare but serious injuries accounting for less than 2% of all tendon injuries around the knee. These injuries, often occurring in individuals over 40, are leading to a loss of active extension and a significant impact on knee function. While the treatment of acute QT ruptures through various reinsertion techniques has shown excellent outcomes, managing chronic injuries and failed primary repairs remains challenging due to tendon retraction and difficulties in repositioning the tendon stump.

However, these studies are not long-term and highlight the need for extended follow-up research to better understand the outcomes over a more extended period.
Purpose: To evaluate the long-term results and reoperation rate for the failure of arthroscopic all-inside suture repair of ramp lesions of the medial meniscus via a posteromedial approach during anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Younger age, longer delay to surgery and meniscal tears are associated with a smaller ACL remnant: An analysis from the registry of the Francophone Arthroscopic Society.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to identify factors affecting the volume of ACL remnants in patients undergoing ACL surgery, hypothesizing that younger age and longer wait times for surgery were key contributors.
- A total of 1565 patients were analyzed, excluding revisions and incomplete data, focusing on demographics, time to surgery, and presence of meniscal or cartilage injuries.
- Results indicated that younger patients (under 30), those waiting over a year for surgery, and individuals with meniscal tears had significantly lower ACL remnant volumes, suggesting these factors should be considered in surgical planning.
Article Synopsis
- Patient-specific cutting guides (PSI) were analyzed for their effectiveness in improving the accuracy of double-level osteotomies (DLO) around the knee compared to traditional techniques.
- The study included 53 patients and focused on evaluating postoperative coronal alignment and functional outcomes after DLO procedures, using various angles to measure accuracy.
- Results indicated no significant differences in global alignment between the PSI and conventional groups, but the PSI group demonstrated statistically lower values for both the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) and lateral distal femoral angle (LDFA).
Purpose: This study aimed to determine if initial MRI findings could predict a pathological complete response (pCR) following neoadjuvant systemic therapy (NST) in HER2-positive breast cancers.
Methods: The study retrospectively included 111 patients (Center 1, training set) and 71 patients (Center 2, validation set) with HER2-positive cancer who underwent NST. Initial clinicopathological data and MRI findings were recorded.
