Posterolateral instability of the knee is known as one of the most challenging injuries. Although several procedures have been designed for the posterolateral instability, there is no gold standard management as yet. We present a technique for posterolateral instability of the knee using a tibialis posterior tendon allograft, which reconstructs the lateral collateral ligament and popliteal tendon with its attachment to the tibia. This can correct not only varus, but also external rotary instability.

Background: The lateral ankle ligament complex, consisting of the anterior talofibular ligament (ATFL), calcaneofibular ligament (CFL), and posterior talofibular ligament (PTFL), is essential for ankle stability. While the ATFL and CFL are frequently studied, the PTFL's role remains less explored.
Methods: Twelve fresh-frozen ankle specimens were dissected to analyze the PTFL's origin, trajectory, and talar insertion, focusing on its bundles and anatomical relationships.
Introduction: Fibular- and tibiofibular-based reconstructions are the gold standard treatment for posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries of the knee. This is the first report describing a wholly tibial-based PLC reconstruction.
Case Report: A 50-year-old female presented with knee instability following proximal fibular resection for a benign tumor, associated with chronic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) deficiency from a previous injury.
Loaded Open Kinetic Chain Exercises Caused More Anterior Tibial Translation and Anteromedial Graft Elongation Than Closed Kinetic Chain Following Double-Bundle Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.

Context: To further improve rehabilitation programs while preventing overstretching the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a thorough understanding of the knee kinematics and ACL length change during closed kinetic chain and open kinetic chain (OKC) exercises is essential. The measurement of ACL graft length relates to the changes in strain experienced by the ACL graft during different types of exercises rather than simple physical length.
Objective: This study aimed to determine the effects of closed kinetic chain and OKC exercises on tibiofemoral kinematics and ACL graft length changes following double-bundle ACL reconstruction.

Background: The aim of surgical treatment for posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI) of the elbow is to restore the integrity of the lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL), with ligamentous reconstruction being the preferred option for recurrent symptomatic PLRI. However, there is no clinical evidence demonstrating the superiority of reconstruction versus repair. Treatment options currently depend on the cause of the LUCL injury and surgeon preference.

: The elbow joint is stabilized by complex interactions between bony structures and soft tissues, notably the lateral and medial collateral ligaments. Posterolateral rotatory instability (PLRI), a form of elbow instability, is challenging to diagnose due to overlapping symptoms with other conditions. The radiocapitellar line (RCL) is a radiographic tool for assessing humeroradial alignment and elbow stability, but its diagnostic accuracy remains debated.
