Background This study investigates the functional outcomes of single-bundle arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, comparing the use of two distinct graft sources: peroneus longus (PL) graft and hamstring graft. The choice of graft material in ACL reconstruction is crucial for optimal postoperative results, and this study aims to contribute valuable insights into the comparative efficacy of these two graft types. Method This open-label randomized comparative study involved a carefully selected cohort of patients undergoing single-bundle arthroscopic ACL reconstruction.

This report presents a rare case where a broken cerclage wire exhibited intraarticular intracapsular migration, prompting open removal adjacent to the medial femoral condyle after unsuccessful attempts at arthroscopic extraction. A 50-year-old male with a history of patellar fracture fixation using cerclage and tension band wiring, presented with persistent knee pain and restricted motion.

While rare, its distinct radiographic features pose diagnostic challenges. Conservative treatments are effective for many, but surgical intervention is necessary when they fail.

Typically affect young males, the most common site being the proximal humerus. There have been no reported cases of periosteal chondroma of the talus in the literature.

ABCs are relatively rare, making up only 1% of all bone tumors. These cysts are typically found in long bones and the spine but are very rarely seen in the metatarsal bones, making such occurrences quite uncommon.
