Patellar tendon grafts have long been considered the gold standard for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This Technical Note describes ACLR using bone-patella tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft with press-fit femoral fixation using an outside-in drilling technique.

- There is ongoing debate among medical professionals about whether stable ramp lesions linked to ACL injuries should be surgically repaired during reconstruction.
- This study aimed to determine the long-term outcomes of leaving stable ramp lesions untreated, hypothesizing that such cases would see a high rate of meniscal failure over more than 20 years.
- Out of 716 ACL reconstruction surgeries, 39 patients with stable ramp lesions were followed up, revealing that 28.6% experienced meniscal failure, highlighting potential risks associated with not repairing these lesions.
Purpose: To summarise the literature on 3rd-condyle total knee arthroplasty (TKA) designs and compare their survival rates to those of post-cam TKA designs. The null hypothesis was that 3rd-condyle TKAs would have equivalent survival rates compared to contemporary post-cam TKAs.
Methods: An electronic literature search for Level I-V studies was independently conducted by two researchers using Medline and Web of Science for studies published between January 1984 and October 2020 that specifically reported on rates of implant survival and complications, joint kinematics, clinical outcomes, and radiographic outcomes of 3rd-condyle TKA.
Background:: There is limited information on the appropriate timing of return to sports after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. A composite test was developed to assess the athlete's ability to return to sports after ACL reconstruction: the Knee Santy Athletic Return To Sport (K-STARTS) test.
Hypothesis:: The K-STARTS test meets validation criteria for an outcome score assessing readiness for return to sports after ACL reconstruction.
