Purpose: To determine factors associated with localized anterior arthrofibrosis (cyclops lesion), such as graft size, warranting early reoperation for lysis of adhesions after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with all-soft tissue quadriceps tendon (ASTQT) autograft.

Methods: All primary ASTQT autograft ACLRs within a single surgeon's prospectively collected registry with minimum 6-month follow-up were included. Patients who underwent multiligament knee reconstruction or cartilage restoration procedures were excluded.

Objective: To evaluate whether non-invasive knee sound measurements can provide information related to the underlying structural changes in the knee following meniscal tear. These changes are explained using an equivalent vibrational model of the knee-tibia structure.

Methods: First, we formed an analytical model by modeling the tibia as a cantilever beam with the fixed end being the knee.

Background: Local anesthetics are commonly administered into surgical sites as a part of multimodal pain control regimens. Liposomal bupivacaine is a novel formulation of bupivacaine designed for slow diffusion of a single dose of local anesthetic over a 72-hour period. While early results are promising in various settings, no studies have compared pain management regimens containing liposomal bupivacaine to traditional regimens in patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
