Background: The outcomes of medial meniscal allograft transplantation (MMAT) combined with high tibial osteotomy (HTO) compared with isolated MMAT remain unclear.
Purpose: To compare the clinical and radiological results of MMAT combined with HTO and isolated MMAT.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
Background: Inferior return to sports (RTS) and functional outcomes have been reported in women after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose was to evaluate the results of combined ACLR and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) in young women with a high-grade pivot shift (grade ≥2). It was hypothesized that combined ACLR and ALLR would result in better RTS and rotational stability than isolated ACLR.
: The goal in treating anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury especially in revision cases is return to sports activity by regaining dynamic postural stability. Among various methods to achieve this goal, additional anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) is gaining attention. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of additional ALLR in revision ACL reconstruction (RACLR).
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Criteria for return to sports (RTS) following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction have been extensively studied. But there is no consensus among investigators regarding which factors are most important in determining a safe RTS.
Methods: Sixty-one patients who underwent ACL reconstruction were included.
Purpose: This study aimed to report return to sports (RTS) and return to work (RTW) outcomes after distraction arthroplasty (DA) plus lateral meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) combined with cartilage repair in active patients with advanced osteoarthritis. It was hypothesised that DA combined with lateral MAT would improve clinical and radiological outcomes and enable RTS and RTW for most patients.
Methods: In total, 21 patients with advanced osteoarthritis (moderate to severe joint space narrowing at lateral edge on Rosenberg view and large cartilage defect of lateral femoral condyle) who underwent concomitant DA and MAT were retrospectively reviewed.
Background: The goals of operative treatment for the adolescent athlete with unstable osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) lesion are rigid fixation and prevention of recurrence.
Purpose: To evaluate clinical and radiological outcomes of internal fixation of lateral trochlear groove OCD with simultaneous lateral retinacular lengthening.
Study Design: Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
Background: This study aimed to compare anterolateral ligament (ALL) injuries in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) ruptures, as well as ALL healing and clinical outcomes following ACL reconstruction between adolescents and adults.
Methods: This retrospective study involved 98 patients who underwent ACL reconstruction. They were divided into two groups according to age: group A (adolescents, 16-20 years of age; n = 49) and group B (adults, 21-45 years of age; n = 49).
Background: Few studies have reported the healing process of anterolateral ligament (ALL) injuries.
Purpose/hypothesis: This study investigated the healing status of ALL injuries after primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR). Additionally, we investigated the association between the healing status of ALL injuries and associated lesions such as osseous lesions and meniscal tears occurring at the time of an ACL rupture.
Purpose: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of transtibial posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (PCLR) with remnant preservation in highly active patients and to investigate the rate of return to sports (RTS), quality of sports activities, and patient satisfaction.
Methods: Patients with a Tegner activity scale of >5 who underwent isolated PCLR from 2013 to 2016 with minimum 2-year follow-up were retrospectively reviewed. Single-bundle PCLR was performed using fresh frozen allograft irradiated with 50 kGy.
Background: This study aimed to determine the effects of single semitendinosus tendon (ST) harvesting for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by comparing outcomes of single ST and semitendinosus-gracilis tendon (ST-G) harvesting.
Methods: ACL reconstruction with ST-G harvesting (D group, n = 60) or single ST harvesting (S group, n = 60) were included according to inclusion criteria. Subjective assessments included subjective International Knee Documentation Committee score, Lysholm score, and Tegner activity scale score.
Background: Although the cause of rotational instability after revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is multifactorial, the rationale of adding an extra-articular procedure is based on its ability to restrict rotational instability.
Purpose: To assess the effect of anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction on revision ACLR.
Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 3.
Background: The aim of this study was to identify the correlations between the single-leg vertical jump (SLVJ) test and subjective and objective tests which were used widely for determining return-to-sports (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: Seventy-five patients (29.5 ± 9.
Purpose: We investigated the correlations of serum total testosterone (TT) levels with body composition and physical fitness parameters in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) to know the best exercise for testosterone deficiency.
Materials And Methods: Eighty-seven ED patients underwent serum TT assessment as well as body composition and basic exercise testing. The bioelectrical impedance analysis was used to assess body composition.
The effects of the combination of exercise and TRT on symptoms of late-onset hypogonadism (LOH) and the durability of response after cessation of TRT were investigated. A total of fifty patients with erectile dysfunction (ED) who had a sedentary lifestyle and low serum total testosterone (T) levels were enrolled and followed for 20 weeks. Patients were randomly divided into two groups; all of them received T gel for 12 weeks and it was discontinued for 8 weeks.

Methods: Among 151 patients who received MAT between March 2006 and June 2009, we prospectively recruited the patients who had undergone clinical and radiologic examinations at 1 year after the operation. The Lysholm score, International Knee Documentation Committee score, and Knee Society Score were determined.
