Autologous bone grafting in combination with autologous chondrocyte implantation yields favourable outcomes in the treatment of osteochondral defects of the knee: A systematic literature review.

Purpose: This study addresses the gap in the current literature by evaluating the combined treatment of autologous bone grafting and autologous chondrocyte implantation (ABCI) for osteochondral defects of the knee. It aims to evaluate clinical outcomes against methodological quality and to summarize histological results and surgical techniques.

Methods: A thorough search was conducted across Pubmed, Cochrane and Embase databases.

An evaluation of a novel method for the MRI-based assessment of Caton-Deschamps index in the Knee.

Introduction: The radiographical assessment of patella height has historically been performed using X-Ray. The aim of this study was to evaluate a new method for the assessment of patella height using MRI and to assess the correlation with the X-Ray based assessment.

Materials And Methods: 159 patients who had both lateral radiographs and MRI images were included.

Assessment of the Quality and Readability of Information Provided by ChatGPT in Relation to the Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy for Osteoarthritis.

: This study aimed to evaluate the quality and readability of information generated by ChatGPT versions 3.5 and 4 concerning platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy in the management of knee osteoarthritis (OA), exploring whether large language models (LLMs) could play a significant role in patient education. A total of 23 common patient queries regarding the role of PRP therapy in knee OA management were presented to ChatGPT versions 3.

Altered knee kinematics after posterior cruciate ligament single-bundle reconstruction-a comprehensive prospective biomechanical analysis.

Passive tibiofemoral anterior-posterior (AP) laxity has been extensively investigated after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) single-bundle reconstruction. However, the PCL also plays an important role in providing rotational stability in the knee. Little is known in relation to the effects of PCL single-bundle reconstruction on passive tibiofemoral rotational laxity.
