Long-term Follow-up for Successful Salvage of Knee Dislocation Complicated by Infection: A Case Report.

Case: A 44-year-old morbidly obese man suffered an ultra-low velocity knee dislocation with anterior and posterior cruciate and medial collateral ligament tears after falling from a stationary bike. He underwent open reduction, external fixator application, and multiligamentous reconstruction. Postoperatively, he developed septic arthritis requiring debridement, graft removal, and antibiotic therapy, with eventual conversion to total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

Microfragmented Adipose Tissue Injection Reduced Pain Compared With a Saline Control Among Patients With Symptomatic Osteoarthritis of the Knee During 1-Year Follow-Up: A Randomized Controlled Trial.

Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of microfragmented adipose tissue (MFAT) for pain relief and improved joint functionality in osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee in a randomized controlled clinical trial with 1-year follow-up.

Methods: Seventy-five patients were stratified by baseline pain level and randomized to 1 of 3 treatment groups: MFAT, corticosteroid (CS), or saline control (C) injection. Patients 18 years of age or older, diagnosed with symptomatic OA of the knee, with radiographic evidence of OA of the knee and a visual analog pain scale score of 3 of 10 or greater were included.

Multiligament knee injury (MLKI): an expert consensus statement on nomenclature, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation.

Multiligament knee injuries (MLKIs) represent a broad spectrum of pathology with potentially devastating consequences. Currently, disagreement in the terminology, diagnosis and treatment of these injuries limits clinical care and research. This study aimed to develop consensus on the nomenclature, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation strategies for patients with MLKI, while identifying important research priorities for further study.
