Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Repair Using Dynamic Intraligamentary Stabilization Combined with Lateral Extra-articular Augmentation: A Case Report and Technical Note.

The treatment options for an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture range from conservative therapy to ACL repair and reconstruction. ACL repair is particularly suitable for younger patients with an acute proximal tear, and moderate athletic demand. Preserving the ACL can restore its proprioceptive and stabilizing functions, avoid donor site morbidity, and shorten rehabilitation time.

Comparable results in total knee arthroplasty using the ROSA knee system versus the conventional technique: A retrospective propensity-matched cohort study.

Purpose: Robotic-assisted total knee arthroplasty (RA-TKA) is an increasingly popular alternative that may increase the accuracy of conventional TKA techniques. This study aims to evaluate RA-TKA accuracy and compare its radiographic and clinical outcomes to conventional TKA (cTKA).

Methods: A retrospective examination of patients with bi- or tricompartmental knee osteoarthritis who underwent RA-TKA (RObotic Surgical Assistant system) or cTKA and were prospectively documented in the TKA registry.

The PJI-TNM classification for periprosthetic joint infections.

Aims: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical application of the PJI-TNM classification for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) by determining intraobserver and interobserver reliability. To facilitate its use in clinical practice, an educational app was subsequently developed and evaluated.

Methods: A total of ten orthopaedic surgeons classified 20 cases of PJI based on the PJI-TNM classification.

knee kinematics of an innovative prosthesis design.

Up to 20% of patients after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) are not satisfied with the result. Several designs of new implants try to rebuild natural knee kinematics. We hypothesized that an innovative implant design leads to better results concerning femoral rollback compared to an established implant design.

The Tibial Plateau Map: Fracture Line Morphology of Intra-Articular Proximal Tibial Fractures.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the patterns of a large series of tibial plateau fractures with the use of fracture mapping, with regard to different fracture types using the OTA/AO and Schatzker classification. Patients with intra-articular fractures of the tibial plateau were evaluated, using the OTA/AO and Schatzker classification on CT scans. For fracture mapping, the axial slice that completely displayed the tibial joint plane was first identified, then matched to a template congruently, and the fracture lines were identified and reproduced.
