Introduction: Recent studies showed increasing evidences of anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction in conjunction with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction that proves to be more superior to the previous double-bundle (DB) ACLR technique especially in improving knee stability in biomechanic studies. However to date, there have been no studies evaluating the functional outcome of DB-ACLR vs single-bundle (SB) with ALL in ACLR.
Methods: A total of 138 patients with ACL deficient knee were enrolled to the study.
Background: Loss of internal rotation stability is the major cause of pain after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Many authors described measures to treat this problem to no avail. This is the first study evaluating the role of lateral release with double-bundle ACLR to prevent patellofemoral malalignment after ACLR.

However, longevity of an all polyethylene uni knee arthroplasty (UKA) has been a long debate. We reported a rare case of 74 year old female who was performed all polyethylene UKA 6 years prior and fell 3 months prior.

- - This study investigates the patellar dimensions and the Bristol Index of patellar width to thickness (BIPWiT) in the Asian population using MRI, focusing on individuals aged 17-40 without knee pathology.
- - Findings show that male patellar dimensions (length, width, thickness) are significantly larger than females; however, no differences in cartilage thickness were observed between genders.
- - The study suggests a BIPWiT ratio of 1.85:1 for optimal patellar thickness restoration in total knee arthroplasty (TKA), indicating there are no significant differences in patellar dimensions between the Asian and Western populations in healthy knees.
Introduction: Dislocation of polyethylene insert is one of the most common complications of mobile bearing-medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (MUKA). Bearing dislocation was diagnosed by radiograph examination in these cases upon trivial injury.
Case Presentation: We reported one case of meniscal bearing dislocation after an Oxford MUKA treated with a simple open reduction technique.
