Creating the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) femoral socket using the anteromedial (AM) portal technique has advantages. Furthermore, the technique is ideal for anatomic double-bundle (particularly posterolateral bundle) and all-inside ACL techniques. However, although the AM portal technique has advantages, the learning curve is steep when making the transition from familiar, transtibial reaming to the AM portal technique for ACL femoral tunnel creation. Complications and challenges are many when learning the AM portal technique. The purpose of this technical note is to describe tips and pearls for surgeons contemplating the transition to the AM portal technique for the ACL femoral socket.

SURGICAL TECHNIQUES TO INCREASE RESECTABILITY IN LIVER METASTASIS.
Arq Bras Cir Dig

The development of surgical techniques, chemotherapy, biological agents, and multidisciplinary approaches have made patients with unresectable colorectal liver metastases eligible for surgery. Many strategies have been developed to allow patients for surgical resection (percutaneous portal vein embolization, liver venous deprivation, parenchyma-sparing liver surgery, reverse strategy, associating liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy, and liver transplantation), the only form of disease control and curative treatment.

D'Or Institute for Research and Education, Digestive Surgery Residency Program - Rio de Janeiro (RJ), Brazil.
In patients with synchronic liver colorectal metastasis, resection of the primary tumor and liver metastases is the only potentially curative strategy. In such cases, there is no consensus on whether resection of the primary tumor and metastases should be performed simultaneously or whether a staged approach should be performed (resection of the primary tumor and after, hepatectomy, or hepatectomy first). Patients with no bowel occlusion and with extensive liver disease are advised neoadjuvant oncological therapy.

Department of Radiology, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, 3401 Civic Center Blvd, Philadelphia, PA, 19104, USA.
Background: Splenic stiffness is a potential imaging marker of portal hypertension. Normative spleen stiffness values are needed to define diagnostic thresholds.
Objective: To report stiffness measurements of the spleen in healthy children undergoing liver magnetic resonance (MR) elastography across MRI vendors and field strengths.
Differentiation of intrapancreatic accessory spleen from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor using MRI R2.
Abdom Radiol (NY)
January 2025
Severance Hospital, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Purpose: To evaluate the performance of R2* in distinguishing intrapancreatic accessory spleens (IPASs) from pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors (PNETs).
Methods: Two radiologists (R1 and R2) retrospectively reviewed the MRIs of 20 IPAS and 20 PNET patients. IPASs were diagnosed with uptake on 99mTc labeled heat-damaged red blood cell scintigraphy or characteristic findings on CT/MRI and ≥ 12 month-long-stability.
