A healthy 9 year old girl presented with severe posterior knee pain and a small segmental non-occlusive popliteal venous thrombosis. The case is relevant for its unique presentation and symptoms. Lack of recanalisation persisted at one year follow up.

Association Between Patient Characteristics and the Depth of Microvascular Penetration Into the Adult Human Meniscus.
Am J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Isala Hospital, Zwolle, The Netherlands.
Background: Current knowledge on the microvascular anatomy of adult human menisci is based on cadaveric studies. However, considerable interindividual variation in meniscal microvascularization has been reported in recent studies with small sample sizes.
Purpose: To assess the association between patient characteristics and the depth of microvascularization of the meniscus.
Clinical outcomes and biomechanics in bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty.
J Exp Orthop
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine The University of Tokyo Tokyo Japan.
Purpose: To clarify the influence of biomechanics on post-operative clinical outcomes in bicruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty (BCR-TKA).
Methods: Severe medial osteoarthritis who underwent BCR-TKA were examined. Each patient was asked to perform a squat (weight-bearing [WB]) and active assisted knee flexion (non-WB [NWB]) under single fluoroscopy surveillance.
Purpose: Anterior tibial closing wedge osteotomy (ATCWO) has been shown to significantly reduce failure rates of revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstructions in patients with a posterior tibial slope (PTS) ≥12°. Recent findings suggest a slight but significant reduction of the medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) resulting in a varus knee where the sagittal osteotomy plane is based on a total of two guide wires defining the osteotomy wedge without respecting the frontal plane. We hypothesize that the placement of a total of four guide wires intraoperatively can reduce the influence on the MPTA.

Department of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Nagasaki University, Nagasaki, JPN.
Purpose The infrapatellar fat pad (IFP) has the lowest pain threshold among all knee joint components and causes anterior knee pain after knee arthroplasty. It has been reported that selective muscle atrophy of the vastus medialis (VM) and fibrosis of the IFP may develop following knee joint surgery. Ultrasound enables visualization of IFP deformation (A1) from within the joint to the proximal area in response to muscle contraction, and this may be helpful in developing preventive and therapeutic strategies for IFP fibrosis.

Department of Joint Surgery and Sports Medicine, Graduate School of Medical and Dental Sciences, Institute of Science Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate whether combining the analysis of different magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signs enhances the diagnostic accuracy of lateral meniscus posterior root tears (LMPRTs) in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. We hypothesised that analysing the cleft, ghost and truncated triangle signs and lateral meniscus extrusion (LME) measurement together would improve the preoperative MRI-based diagnosis of LMPRTs.
Methods: This retrospective study used prospectively collected registry data from two academic centres, including patients undergoing primary or revision ACL reconstruction (ACLR) and LMPRT repair.
