Low rate of growth disturbance after posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction or repair in skeletally immature patients: A systematic review.

Importance: The management of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries in children is complex and varies depending on the specific nature of the injury. Avulsions of the PCL can often be addressed with proximal or distal repair, whereas intrasubstance tears and cases with persistent instability generally require more extensive reconstruction. Despite the prevalence of such cases, the literature is predominantly composed of case reports, indicating a lack of comprehensive research in this area.

Enhancing Efficiency in Meniscal Repair: A Novel In-House Vacuum Suction Technique for Suture Loading in Long Hollow Needles and Devices.

Background: Suture-loaded long hollow needles are used in arthroscopic surgery to pass or retrieve sutures and in meniscal repair surgeries. However, manual suture loading can be time-consuming and challenging, especially with finer sutures. We present a novel technique using vacuum suction to simplify and expedite suture loading in hollow needles and similar devices.

Anterior Labrum Periosteal Sleeve Avulsion Lesions of the Shoulder: A Scoping Review.

Background: Anterior labrum periosteal sleeve avulsion (ALPSA) lesion of the shoulder is defined as a labral avulsion with an intact periosteum of the glenoid neck resulting in medial malattachment of the labrum, which is both nonanatomic and nonfunctional. It is relatively rare compared with Bankart lesions, and its results are usually reported in combination with other anterior labroligamentous lesions in the literature.

Purpose: To (1) assess the size and scope of the literature on ALPSA lesions, (2) highlight the importance of this lesion, and (3) distinguish between ALPSA and Bankart lesions in diagnostic and treatment strategies.

Endoscopic-Assisted Evacuation: A Useful Adjunct for the Management of Prepatellar Hematomas.

Management of prepatellar hematomas can be difficult, and recurrences or persistent oozing are common. Endoscopic-assisted management of these hematomas has not been reported. We present the case of a 44-year-old lady with traumatic prepatellar hematoma who was managed with the evacuation of the hematoma assisted by endoscopic visualization and debridement.

Extended Medial Coronal Plane Plica Formed by a Rare Fusion of Medial Patellar and Biblike Plicae in the Knee: A Case Report.

The traditional plicae of the knee have been updated recently with reports of new variants in the coronal plane. We report another variant, an extended medial coronal plane plica (EMCPP), previously unreported, in a 70-year-old lady with osteoarthritis of the knee and a loose body. The preoperative symptoms after the excision of the plica and loose body were temporarily relieved for 11 months before she underwent total knee arthroplasty (TKA) for associated osteoarthritis.

A slight degree of osteoarthritis appears to be present after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction compared with contralateral healthy knees at a minimum of 20 years: A systematic review of the literature.

Purpose: The aim of the present systematic review was to quantitatively synthesize the best literature evidence regarding osteoarthritis developing after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), including only studies with a follow-up duration of at least 20 years.

Material And Methods: A systematic review was conducted based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines on four electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, EMBASE and Cochrane Library). The outcome measures extracted from the studies were failure rate, subsequent knee surgery on the same knee, radiographic development of osteoarthritis measured with Kellgren-Lawrence, International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) radiographic score and Ahlbäck classification.

The "Golden Age" of quadriceps tendon grafts for the anterior cruciate ligament: a bibliometric analysis.

Importance: Bibliometric research is a statistical analysis of publications to measure the scientific output in a specific field in order to highlight medical developments or knowledge gaps and to direct future scientific research. The quantity of orthopedic papers on the internet is astounding and is steadily growing as a result of recent advancements in technology and medicine. This is why choosing the right information is essential.

Trends in Meniscus-Related Publications in PubMed Since 1928: A Bibliometric Study.

Background: As information on the meniscus accumulates in PubMed, it is possible to evaluate the trends in research on the topic over time.

Purpose: To evaluate the major trends in meniscus-related publications in PubMed from the earliest publication to the present day.

Study Design: Cross-sectional study.

Magnetic resonance imaging shows low sensitivity but good specificity in detecting ramp lesions in children and adolescents with ACL injury: A systematic review.

Importance: The diagnosis of ramp lesions can be problematic, even with arthroscopy, due to their extreme posteromedial position. Consequently, they have been colloquially referred to as the "hidden lesions" of the knee. Undiagnosed and untreated injuries in this knee region may be associated with ongoing dynamic rotational laxity of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament graft failure.

Introduction to Osteoporosis, Osteomalacia, and Fragility Fractures.

Background: Osteoporosis is a disease of the bones leading to decreased bone mineral density, leading to fragility fractures. This article is an overview of osteoporosis, osteomalacia and fragility fractures and serves as an introductory article for this special issue on osteoporosis.
