Background: To improve outcomes following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, bridge-enhanced ACL restoration (BEAR) was introduced. Bridge-enhanced ACL restoration uses a collagen-based implant saturated with infused autologous blood to bridge the torn proximal and distal ACL fibers.
Purpose: We sought to analyze the short-term complications, clinical outcomes, and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in patients undergoing BEAR outside of the initial clinical trials.
Article Synopsis
- - Patients with recurrent patellofemoral instability may face issues with previous surgeries due to scar tissue and weakened bone structures, increasing the risk of complications like fractures.
- - A new technique for revision stabilization merges methods from medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction and medial quadriceps tendon-femoral ligament, using a single suture anchor for better fixation.
- - This approach aims to improve lateral stability of the patella while reducing fracture risks by utilizing a smaller suture anchor, which is advantageous in cases with limited bone material.
Purpose: The aim of the present study is to define the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) for International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) and Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) for patients undergoing tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) for either (1) patellofemoral pain or (2) patellar instability.
Methods: Patients undergoing TTO for either patellofemoral pain or patellar instability by one of two sports medicine fellowship-trained surgeons at a single institution between September 2014 and May 2023 were included in the study. IKDC and KOOS scores were collected preoperatively and minimum 1 year postoperatively.
Article Synopsis
- Tibial tubercle osteotomy (TTO) is a common surgery for issues related to patellofemoral instability and pain, with TTO-D (with distalization) being particularly indicated for specific patient conditions.* -
- This study compared complication rates between TTO-D and TTO-ND (without distalization) in skeletally mature patients, finding similar complication rates of 5% for TTO-D and 7% for TTO-ND, with arthrofibrosis being the most frequent complication.* -
- Factors affecting complications included the presence of concomitant intra-articular procedures for TTO-D patients and extended tourniquet time for TTO-ND patients, but overall, patient
