Isolated ACL Reconstruction Versus Combined ACL and Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction: Functional Outcomes, Return to Sport, and Survivorship: An Updated Meta-analysis of Comparative Studies.

Background: Failure, persistent knee instability, and reinjury rates after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction are still concerns. Biomechanical investigations have highlighted the role of the anterolateral ligament (ALL) as a crucial knee stabilizer, and clinical outcomes after combined ACL and ALL reconstruction appear to indicate the success of the procedure.

Purpose: To compare the functional outcomes, return-to-sport (RTS) rate, and complications between combined ACL and ALL reconstruction and isolated ACL reconstruction.

The Association Between Antipsychotics and Bone Fragility: An Updated Comprehensive Review.

Background: Antipsychotic drugs appear to be related to reduced bone mineral density (BMD). We conducted a narrative review to collect the available literature investigating the relationship between antipsychotic use and bone fragility.

Methods: A review of the published literature was conducted and reported through PubMed/Scopus/Cochrane libraries.

Factors Associated With a Successful Return to Performance After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Multiparametric Evaluation in Soccer Players.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is highly recommended in patients with ACL deficiency who must perform at a high physical level. A combination of functional and psychological outcome measures is necessary to provide a comprehensive evaluation of functional status after successful return to sport after ACLR.

Purpose: To identify factors associated with higher functional outcomes among soccer players who had returned to full sports participation after ACLR.

Navigating parental disagreement: ethical analysis and a proposed approach.

Shared decision-making in pediatrics can be problematic when disagreements arise. The impermissible-permissible-obligatory (I-P-O) framework helps define the limits of parental authority when clinicians disagree with parents. There is little guidance in the literature, however, on making critical clinical decisions when parents disagree with each other.

Posterior Cruciate Buckling Angle Variations Are Associated with Different Patterns of Medial Meniscus Tears in Anterior-Cruciate-Deficient Knees: Results of a Prospective Comparative Magnetic Imaging Resonance Study.

Background: The diagnosis of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear relies on clinical evaluation and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Direct and indirect signs of ACL tear have been described with MRI evaluation. Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) buckling has been described as an indirect radiographic sign of an ACL tear.
