A comprehensive scoping review of tibial cysts after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to perform a scoping review of published literature reporting on surgical management of tibial cysts which developed after ACLR.

Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Arksey and O'Malley framework for scoping studies and Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) extension for scoping reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines. A search strategy using the terms ["Tibial Cyst" AND "ACL"], ["Pretibial Cyst" AND "ACL"] was applied to the PUBMED database.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis in the occipital condyle: a case study and a brief review of the literature.

We present a case study of a 5-year-old patient, who presented with left-sided torticollis. Due to persistence of problems, a CT and an MRI were made showing a single osteolytic lesion centred on right occipital condyle. After an open biopsy, histology confirmed it to be Langerhans cell histiocytosis (LCH).

Arthroscopic Identification and Management of Recurrent Iliopsoas Impingement After Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Arthroscopic release of the iliopsoas tendon for iliopsoas impingement (IPI) after total hip arthroplasty (THA) at the lesser trochanter gives good results. However, where IPI then recurs, due to adhesions between the healing iliopsoas tendon and the surrounding soft tissue, and nonoperative measures have failed, a revision THA procedure is usually considered. We propose a technique of arthroscopic visualization of the recurrent IPI and a subsequent psoas tenotomy at the level of the hip joint using an outside-in capsulotomy approach.

Clinical outcomes of extra-articular tenodesis/anterolateral reconstruction in the ACL injured knee.

Purpose: The role of concomitant extra-articular procedures in improving the outcome of ACL reconstruction has experienced a recent resurgence in interest. The aim of this article is to highlight the differences in philosophies and outcomes of historical lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) and contemporary, anterolateral reconstruction.

Methods: A narrative review was performed using PubMed/MEDLINE using the keywords "lateral extra-articular tenodesis" and "anterolateral ligament reconstruction".

Hamstring Graft Biological Preparation for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

The all-inside anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) success depends on biologic integration of the graft in the bone tunnel. Sutures wrapping the tendon in the bone tunnel may affect tendon-bone healing in shorter bone tunnels. To achieve better graft integration, we propose a variation of the graft link suture technique wherein the graft is linked chain-like to the femoral and tibial TightRope (Arthrex), which increases the tendon-bone contact area by eliminating sutures from the noose of the graft and thus may allow better graft integration.

Surgical Management of Rectus Femoris Avulsion Among Professional Soccer Players.

Background: Rectus femoris injuries are common among athletes, especially in kicking sports such as soccer; however, proximal rectus femoris avulsions in athletes are a relatively rare entity.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to describe and report the results of an original technique of surgical excision of the proximal tendon remnant followed by a muscular suture repair. Our hypothesis was that this technique limits the risk of recurrence in high-level athletes and allows for rapid recovery without loss of quadriceps strength.

Combined Anterior and Anterolateral Stabilization of the Knee With the Iliotibial Band.

Interest and knowledge on the anatomy, function, and biomechanical properties of the anterolateral ligament has led to the recognition of the importance of this structure in rotational control of the knee. This article describes a technique that allows for a combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral reconstruction, using an Iliotibial band (ITB) autograft. The graft is detached from the vastus lateralis from proximal to distal, at the center portion from ITB, preserving its distal insertion on the Gerdy tubercle.

Minimally Invasive Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction in the Setting of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injury.

Recent evidence on the anatomy, function, and biomechanical properties of the anterolateral ligament has led to the recognition of the importance of this structure in the rotational control of the knee. This article describes a technique that allows for minimally invasive anterolateral ligament reconstruction as a complement to most techniques of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. A gracilis tendon autograft is harvested and prepared in a double-strand, inverted V-shaped graft.
