Temporal changes in tibiofemoral relationship following anterior cruciate ligament injury: Implications for rotational dynamics and clinical outcomes.

Purpose: This study aims to elucidate changes in the tibiofemoral relationship over time following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury, and investigate the correlation between the tibiofemoral relationship and patient-related outcome measures (PROMs).

Methods: Overall, 203 primary ACL reconstructions were performed using autologous hamstring grafts. Medial and lateral anterior tibial translation (ATT) in the sagittal plane and tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance in the axial plane were measured using pre-operative magnetic resonance imaging and post-operative computed tomography.

Influence of different standing positions on anatomical parameters of coronal whole-leg weight-bearing radiographs in preoperative planning for high tibial osteotomy.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess the differences in lower limb global alignment and anatomical parameters of coronal whole-leg radiographs, which were generally used in preoperative planning for high tibial osteotomy (HTO), according to different weight-bearing standing positions.

Methods: Between April 2021 and December 2022, 176 patients (60 males and 116 females) were investigated. Full-weight-bearing coronal whole-leg radiographs were obtained with the patella centred on the femoral condyle.

Relationship between increased knee joint line obliquity after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy and patient-reported outcome measures.

Introduction: This study evaluated the correlation between postoperative knee joint line obliquity after medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy and patient-reported outcome measures excluding excessively overcorrected knees. This study further identified preoperative radiological factors related to the increased postoperative knee joint line obliquity.

Materials And Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent medial open-wedge high tibial osteotomy between March 2013 and March 2021.

Nontraumatic Chronic Subcutaneous Extensor Digitorum Longus Tendon Rupture in a Recreational Runner: A Case Report.

Case: Nontraumatic chronic subcutaneous rupture of the extensor digitorum longus (EDL) tendon is rare. A 66-year-old man, recreational runner, suddenly injured his EDL tendon while walking. We surgically reconstructed the ruptured EDL tendon with a free palmaris longus tendon graft.
