Purpose: For the athlete, anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) rupture and its surgical management are often a turning point in their career. Success and time to return to sport are essential parameters for athletes and their support staff, so it is critical to understand the prognostic factors influencing return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The aim of this study was to determine the influence of hamstring muscle composition on muscle power following ACLR with autogenous hamstring grafts.

- - The study aimed to evaluate how recreating the anterior space of the trochlea during total knee arthroplasty affects trochlea depth at both mid and deep flexion angles.
- - Out of 122 patients, all had a balanced trochlea in full extension; however, more than 40% experienced overstuffing or understuffing issues in mid (32% understuffed) and deep (20.5% overstuffed) flexion.
- - Significant differences were found in external rotation of the trochlea components between balanced and unbalanced groups at mid flexion, but not in deep flexion or other measures.
The success of unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) for monocompartmental knee arthritis is reliant on appropriate patient selection. This article addresses the clinical challenges that may arise when attempting to identify patients likely to have favorable outcomes following UKA. Despite advancements of implant design and accuracy of surgical tools, considerable challenges persist in predicting patient specific success and satisfaction following UKA.

The purpose of this study was to describe and illustrate a novel technique for assessing the patellofemoral (PFJ) in TKA using an imageless robotic platform.
Methods: A consecutive series of 30 R-TKA was undertaken by a single surgeon utilising the described technique.
