Anatomic physeal-sparing MPFL reconstruction in skeletally immature patients shows favourable outcomes at a minimum of 24-month follow-up.

Purpose: Recurrent patellar dislocation is a prevalent orthopaedic issue among active paediatric and adolescent populations. Bony surgical procedures are not recommended in growing patients; therefore, the focus of surgery is on restoring the medial patellar ligaments, with different reconstructive techniques available. This retrospective case series focuses on the 2-year outcomes of medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in skeletally immature patients with open physis.

Management of traumatic meniscus tears: the 2019 ESSKA meniscus consensus.

Purpose: The importance of meniscus integrity in the prevention of early osteoarthritis is well known, and preservation is accepted as the primary goal. The purpose of the ESSKA (European Society for Sports Traumatology, Knee Surgery and Arthroscopy) European consensus on traumatic meniscus tears was to provide recommendations for the treatment of meniscus tears based on both scientific evidence and the clinical experience of knee experts.

Methods: Three groups of surgeons and scientists elaborated and ratified the so-called formal consensus process to define the recommendations for the management of traumatic meniscus tears.

Extra-Articular Plasty for Revision Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Recent studies have renewed interest in the structures of the anterolateral aspect of the knee. Concomitant damage to these structures in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament rupture has led to various surgical techniques to address these combined injuries. This article is a description of the rationale and the indications for lateral extra-articular tenodesis as well as surgical technique.
