Background: The lateral femoral notch sign (LFNS) is caused by an impact to the lateral femoral condyle during a pivot shift injury and affects 25% to 33% of patients with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The primary aim of this study was to compare the incidence of chondral lesions 1year after ACL reconstruction, while taking into consideration preoperative chondral damage, in patients with and without a preoperative LFNS. The primary outcome measure was the presence of chondral lesions involving the lateral femoral condyle, confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) using the Outerbridge classification, at 1year postoperative.

- Patients with both ACL tears and lateral meniscus root tears (LMRT) experience worse knee stability and a higher risk for long-term complications, making effective treatment crucial.
- This study aimed to compare the outcomes after surgery in patients who had ACL reconstruction with LMRT repair versus those who had isolated ACL surgery, focusing on MRI results and functional tests.
- Findings indicated that the LMRT group showed similar meniscal extrusion results to the control group, suggesting that the combined treatment could be as effective without compromising knee function post-surgery.*
Introduction: Masquelet's induced membrane technique offers a definitive contribution to the treatment of diaphyseal osteomyelitis. To overcome its drawbacks while maintaining its principles, technical modifications have been proposed: antibiotic cement, femoral intramedullary autograft harvested by RIA (Reamer Irrigation Aspiration) and interlocking nails.
Material And Method: This retrospective study gathered patients with chronic osteomyelitis of the femur or tibia.
