Early osteoarthritis in patients between 35 and 65 years of age is mostly observed following previous cartilage, meniscus, and bone or ligament injuries. The expectations individuals have regarding their physical abilities have increased over the past few decades. Patients who despite relevant non-surgical treatment still experience knee pain are often a challenge for primary care.

Good physical function but reduced quality of life in children 3 years after ACL reconstruction.

Purpose: To assess children's physical function and subjective knee status 1 and 3 years after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. It was hypothesised that there was no difference between the operated and normal legs in relation to physical strength and function, that there was <-2 mm side-to-side difference in knee laxity, and that the subjective knee function was better 3 years after ACL reconstruction compared to 1 year after.

Methods: Children (<16 years of age) who had an ACL reconstruction had follow-up with physical function tests (four hop tests and strength measurement in a power rig [PR]), anterior knee laxity (measured using a Rolimeter) and patient-reported outcome measures (Pedi-International Knee Documentation Committee [IKDC] and Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score [KOOS]-Child) 1 and 3 years postoperatively.

Management of anterior cruciate ligament revision in adults: the 2022 ESSKA consensus: part II-surgical strategy.

Purpose: The aim of this ESSKA consensus is to give recommendations based on scientific evidence and expert opinion to improve the diagnosis, preoperative planning, indication and surgical strategy in Anterior Cruciate Ligament revision.

Methods: Part 2, presented herein, followed exactly the same methodology as Part 1: the so-called ESSKA formal consensus derived from the Delphi method. Eighteen questions were ultimately asked.

Similar outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction in paediatric and adult populations: a 1-year follow-up of 506 paediatric operations in Denmark.

Purpose: To present 1-year results after all paediatric anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in Denmark (5.9 M inhabitants) for the 10½ year period, 1 July 2011 to 31 December 2021.

Methods: All children who had an ACL reconstruction were enrolled.

Pedi-IKDC exhibits questionable measurement properties in a cohort of pediatric patients with ACL rupture.

Background: Pedi-IKDC is commonly used to evaluate anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency in children. However, its construct validity has not been thoroughly assessed. The aim was to examine the measurement properties of the Pediatric International Knee Documentation Committee (Pedi-IKDC) by modern test theory (MTT) models, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and item response theory (IRT).

Management of anterior cruciate ligament revision in adults: the 2022 ESSKA consensus part I-diagnostics and preoperative planning.

Purpose: The aim of this ESSKA consensus is to give recommendations based on evidence and expert opinion to improve diagnosis, preoperative planning, indication and surgical strategy in ACL revision.

Methods: The European expert surgeons and scientists were divided into four groups to participate in this consensus. A "literature group" (four surgeons); "steering group" (14 surgeons and scientists); "rating group" (19 surgeons) and finally "peer review group" (51 representatives of the ESSKA-affiliated national societies from 27 countries).

No correlation between performance tests, clinical measurements and data from patient-reported outcome measures (PROM) in children reconstructed for anterior cruciate ligament injury.

Purpose: To investigate if patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), functional tests and clinical measures correlate well in children after reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). It was hypothesized that these outcomes correlate, so it is sufficient to report only one of them.

Methods: A consecutive group of children (< 16 years old) who had an ACL reconstruction, were prospectively followed and assessed after 1-year with Pedi-IKDC and KOOS-Child, instrumented laxity measurement, range of motion, extension strength and four performance tests.

KOOS-Child exhibits inadequate structural validity in a cohort of paediatric patients with ACL deficiency.

Objectives: Knee injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS)-Child is a modification of the adult KOOS aiming to evaluate knee injury, including ACL deficiency. However, the measurement properties of KOOS-Child have not been assessed in a cohort of children with ACL deficiency. We aimed to study the structure of KOOS-Child using modern test theory models (Rasch analysis and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA)).

Outcome Measures After ACL Injury in Pediatric Patients: A Scoping Review.

Background: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in children is increasing. However, no standardized core set of outcome measures exists for evaluating pediatric ACL injuries.

Purpose: To perform a scoping review of the literature to identify patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) and objective outcome measures used to evaluate pediatric patients after ACL injury and to classify these in accordance with the International Classification of Functioning, Disability, and Health (ICF) domains.

[Sternoclavicular joint disorders].

In this review, function, anatomy and pathology of the sternoclavicular joint is described. Arthritis as part of a rheumatological condition is treated medically; persistent synovitis can be treated by synovectomy. Infection is most often caused by Staphylococcus and is treated by debridement and antibiotics.

Snapping elbow-A guide to diagnosis and treatment.

Aim: To develop practical guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of the painful snapping elbow syndrome (SE).

Methods: Clinical studies were searched in the databases PubMed and Scopus for the phrases "SE", "snapping triceps", "snapping ulnar nerve" and "snapping annular ligament". A total of 36 relevant studies were identified.

[Treatment of meniscal pathology].

The menisci play a major role in knee function regarding joint movement, stability, load distribution and load transmission. Injuries to the menisci cause pain, and meniscal tears are a common reason for patient referral. In Denmark, partial meniscectomy increased significantly until 2010, and several studies have questioned the long-term effect of meniscectomy as an overall procedure.

Possibilities for arthroscopic treatment of the ageing sternoclavicular joint.

Aim: To investigate if there are typical degenerative changes in the ageing sternoclavicular joint (SCJ), potentially accessible for arthroscopic intervention.

Methods: Both SCJs were obtained from 39 human cadavers (mean age: 79 years, range: 59-96, 13 F/26 M). Each frozen specimen was divided frontally with a band saw, so that both SCJs were opened in the same section through the center of the discs.
