: Lateral extraarticular tenodesis (LET) has been advocated in revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) to improve knee stability and furthermore, decrease failure rates. The aim of this study was to compare clinical outcomes, knee laxity, and failure rates after revision ACLR with LET (ACLR + LET) versus without LET. It was hypothesized that ACLR + LET improves clinical outcomes and reduces the failure rate.

Article Synopsis
  • Osteochondral defects in the knee can cause early arthritis and are more common in young, active people with misaligned bones (called varus malalignment).
  • A study looked at how well a combination treatment called Osteochondral Autologous Transfer (OAT) and Valgus High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) worked for these issues over a long time.
  • The researchers found that the treatment had good results, with many patients feeling better and only a small number needing more surgeries after many years.

This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes and recurrence of instability after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) in patients with anterior shoulder instability, with and without a GLAD lesion, while distinguishing between primary and recurrent instability. Consecutive patients who underwent isolated ABR between January 2012 and December 2021 were included. Patients with a concomitant GLAD lesion were matched in with patients without a GLAD lesion according to the following criteria: age, sex, BMI, follow-up time, and primary versus recurrent instability.

Purpose: It is unclear whether different injury mechanisms lead to divergent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear locations. This study aims to analyse the relationship between bone bruise (BB) distribution or depth and ACL tear location.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of 446 consecutive patients with acute non-contact ACL injury was performed.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate whether malrotation of lateral knee radiographs influences posterior tibial slope (PTS) measurements.

Methods: Lateral knee radiographs of all patients who underwent knee surgery at a single institution between June 2022 and January 2023 and received multiple lateral knee radiographs were included. Radiographs were categorised as malrotated lateral knee radiographs or lateral knee radiographs based on the radiographic distance between the medial and lateral posterior femoral condyles.

Osteochondral fractures of the patella, also known as "flake fractures," frequently occur after patellar dislocation. In such fractures, a piece of patellar cartilage with subchondral bone breaks off due to patellar dislocation or subsequent reposition. Various surgical techniques have evolved for surgical therapy with the goal of realigning the patellar cartilage.

Background: Biomechanical studies have shown that an increased medial posterior tibial slope (MPTS) may affect anteroposterior knee laxity and tibial shear forces, ultimately increasing the risk for graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Previous clinical studies have, however, reported inconclusive results.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the MPTS and graft failure as well as functional outcomes after anatomic primary isolated ACL reconstruction using a hamstring tendon autograft.

Objective: Partial ruptures of the distal triceps tendon are usually treated surgically from a size of > 50% tendon involvement. The aim of this study was to compare the ultimate load to failure of intact triceps tendons with partially ruptured tendons and describe the rupture mechanism.

Methods: Eighteen human fresh-frozen cadaveric elbow specimens were randomly assigned to two groups with either an intact distal triceps tendon or with a simulated partial rupture of 50% of the tendon.

Purpose: To determine the 50 most cited studies on posterior tibial slope (PTS) in joint preserving knee surgery and assess their level of evidence, objective study quality scores as well as to examine whether the study quality correlated with the citation count and citation density in the top 50 list.

Methods: A literature search on Web of Science was performed to determine the 50 most cited studies on the topic of PTS in joint preserving knee surgery between 1990 and 2022. The studies were evaluated for their bibliographic parameters, level of evidence rating (LOE), citation counts, the Modified Coleman Methodological Score (MCMS), the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS), and the Radiologic Methodology and Quality Scale (MQCSRE).
