After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Surgery, Variables Associated With Returning to the Same Surgeon If a Subsequent Antrior Cruciate Ligament Surgery Is Needed?

Introduction: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLrs) unfortunately can require revision ACLr, or contralateral ACLr may be indicated (together subsequent ACLr). This study aimed to examine the rate of and factors associated with returning to the same surgeon.

Methods: Patients who underwent ACLr and subsequent ACLr within 3 years were abstracted from the PearlDiver database.

Repair of Acute Grade-3 Combined Posterolateral Corner Avulsion Injuries Using a Transosseous Krackow Suture Pull-Through Technique.

Background: For complete disruption of the posterolateral corner (PLC) structures, operative treatment is most commonly advocated, as nonoperative treatment has higher rates of persistent lateral laxity and posttraumatic arthritis. Some studies have shown that acute direct repair results in revision rates upwards of 37% to 40% compared with 6% to 9% for initial reconstruction. In a recent study assessing the outcomes of acute repair of PLC avulsion injuries with 2 to 7 years of follow-up, patients with adequate tissue were shown to have a much lower failure rate than previously documented.

Variables Affecting 90-Day Overall Reimbursement After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Analysis of Nearly 250,000 Patients in the United States.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a commonly performed orthopaedic procedure. As the number of ACLRs continues to increase in incidence, understanding the variability and drivers of cost to the health care system may help target cost-saving measures.

Purposes: To examine the variability in overall 90-day reimbursements (amount paid for health care services) for ACLR using a national, multi-insurance, administrative database and to assess factors associated with variability.

The pathoanatomy of medial ligamentous disruption in the dislocated and multiple ligament injured knee.

Purpose: To describe the medial-sided pathoanatomy and ligament injuries in acute MLKIs with medial-sided involvement andlook forassociated injury patterns based upon location of ligamentous injury.

Methods: Patients who underwent treatment for MLKI at two level-1 trauma centers were identified between January 2001 and May 2023. Only cases involvingcomplete disruption of the superficial medial collateral ligament (sMCL) were included.
