Contralateral and siblings' knees are at higher risk of ACL tear for patients with a positive history of ACL tear.

Purpose: Recent studies have shown that several genetic factors can cause susceptibility to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The aim of the present study was to evaluate certain underlying factors that increase the risk of ACL rupture.

Methods: Eight hundred thirty-six patients with ACL rupture who underwent ACL reconstructive surgery from 2010 to 2013 at an academic center completed a minimum of 5 years post-operation follow-up.

Rotator cuff tear with concomitant long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) degeneration: what is the preferred choice? Open subpectoral versus arthroscopic intraarticular tenodesis.

Background: Lesions associated with the biceps tendon are commonly detected during arthroscopic repair of rotator cuff tears. Acquiring a preferable technique to repair both cuff and long head of biceps tendon (LHBT) lesions was the aim of several recent studies. This study aimed to compare clinical and functional outcomes of open subpectoral versus arthroscopic intraarticular tenodesis in patients with repairable rotator cuff tear associated with LHBT degeneration.
