Introduction And Importance: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery has been proven to be closely related to the graft healing process, which can last up to 12 months after surgery. In recent years, through various biomechanical and clinical studies, Internal Brace Ligament Augmentation (IBLA) has been shown to protect the graft during these early postoperative stages and improve the outcome of ACL reconstruction. We present this case series of all-inside arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with IBLA using semitendinosus tendon autografts, with the goal of evaluating postoperative clinical and patient-reported outcomes.

Introduction And Importance: Meniscal tear is one of the most common knee injuries and knee surgery procedures. It is frequently associated with an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. We conducted this study, on patients with ACL reconstruction surgeries, which were occasionally accompanied by meniscal tears, in order to determine the diagnostic value of clinical examinations for meniscal tear, both individually and in combination, in correlations to magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans, with the goal of improving clinical diagnosis for patients with meniscal injuries in particular, as well as meniscal injuries associated with cruciate ligament knee injuries.

Background: The traumatic dislocation of the radial head in children is commonly treated by closed reduction. Sometimes, however, this strategy of treatment may not be effective due to the location of soft tissues in the radio-shoulder joint. The literature presents a few cases of the irreducible radial head dislocation with ulnar plastic deformation.
