Purpose: To identify and quantify passive anterior tibial subluxation on MRI using a standardized measurement protocol and determine the diagnostic threshold of subluxation for complete anterior cruciate ligament tears.
Methods: A retrospective case-control study was performed. Patients who underwent surgery for a complete isolated ACL tear between 2009 and 2015 were matched for age and gender to controls with an intact ligament on knee MRI.
Background And Purpose: Anterior knee laxity can be evaluated using different devices, the most commonly used being the Telos®, KT1000®, Rolimeter®, and GNRB®. However, the laxity values obtained with these devices have never been compared to one another. As such, the outcomes of studies using these different knee laxity measurement devices may not be comparable.

Methods: This retrospective study included all athletes <50 years old, who underwent a Latarjet-Bristow procedure for anterior shoulder instability in 2009-2012. Main criteria assessments were the number of athletes returning to any sport and the number returning to the same sport at their preinjury level.

Purpose: Surgical options in the treatment of recurrent anterior shoulder instability are numerous. The Latarjet procedure is one of the most common procedures performed. It has been previously demonstrated that bone mineral density decreases with age.
