Objective: To probe the clinical results of a new designed operation-double semitendinous reconstruction of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) with invasive mini-plate.
Methods: The new surgical technique was performed on 28 patients with PCL deficient knee in our department from September 1994 to October 1997. Protection of popliteal nerves and blood vessels was emphasized in the operation, and the femoral and tibial tunnel placement was critical to the procedure's success.
Results: All patients were followed up 18 to 36 months, averaged 22 months, they gained stable knees. The knee function of 28 patients recovered to normal after the operation, 1 patients had a small range of limitation of the knee flexion, but no obvious dysfunction.
Conclusion: Double semitendinous reconstruction of PCL with invasive mini-plate has advantages in the operated field exposure, adequate tibial and femoral fixation and excellent results in motion, stability and function of the knee after the operation.

Purpose: This study investigated the evolution of neuromotor control during a typical short sport-specific rehabilitation program (SSR) in professional soccer players who had incurred a major lower-limb injury ( = 15, chondral and muscle injuries, ACL-reconstruction).
Methods: All injured participants ( = 15) were in the on-field rehabilitation phase of their specific sport rehabilitation process, prior to return to play. An experimental group (EG, chondral and muscle injuries, ACL-reconstruction) followed a 3-week SSR-program composed of muscular and core strengthening (weightlifting, functional stability, explosivity and mobility exercises), running and cycling, neuromotor reprogramming, cognitive development and specific soccer on-field rehabilitation (acceleration, braking, cutting, dual-contact, high-speed-running, sprint, jump, drills with ball).
Presoaking hamstring autograft with vancomycin does not jeopardize its biomechanical properties, including graft elongation, after cyclic loading.

Purpose: Presoaking the graft with vancomycin before implantation has been shown to reduce the risk of postoperative infection after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, the effects of presoaking on the graft biomechanical properties remain unclear. This study aimed to determine whether presoaking the graft with vancomycin affects the graft biomechanical properties and length after cyclic loading.

Background: Isolated Patellar Aplasia Hypoplasia is a very rare autosomal dominant disorder. Its treatment depends on the clinical manifestations that can vary widely. The lack of active extension, which can be responsible for frequent falls due to a knee instability, is the most frequent and disabling manifestation.

In the past, treatment of ACL tears in growing patients relied on activity modification and bracing. However, surgical treatment has prevailed over conservative treatment in recent years.

Background and Objectives: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are common injuries with a high incidence among people with high physical activity levels. Therefore, ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is one of the most common surgical procedures performed in sports medicine. This study aims to compare the pre- and 6-month post-operative isokinetic knee strengths in healthy (HK) and ACL knees of patients who underwent semitendinous/gracilis (ST/G) ACLR.
