AI Article Synopsis
- The autologous quadrupled hamstring tendon graft is a common method for reconstructing the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).
- In some instances, graft diameter may be insufficient, risking stability and healing at the bone-tendon junction.
- The proposed technique uses cancellous bone chips to improve the fixation and stability of the hamstring tendon graft during ACL reconstruction.
Article Abstract
The use of autologous quadrupled hamstring tendon graft is a well-known technique for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. In cases where the diameter of the graft is inadequate, the stability of graft fixation and subsequent bone to tendon healing may be compromised. We describe a new technique to augment the autologous double looped hamstring tendon graft during anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using cancellous bone chips. This simple technique effectively enhances graft fixation and stability.

Kaiser Permanente Bernard J. Tyson School of Medicine, Pasadena, California, U.S.A.
Purpose: To examine the overall reading levels of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction online patient education materials (OPEMs) written in English and Spanish.
Methods: We conducted Google searches for OPEMs using "ACL surgery" and "" as English and Spanish search terms, respectively. Several measures of readability were used to analyze 25 English-language OPEMs (Flesch Reading Ease, Flesch Reading Ease Grade Level, Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level, Coleman-Liau Index, Gunning Fog Index, and Simple Measure of Gobbledygook) and 25 Spanish-language OPEMs (Fernández-Huerta Index, Fernández-Huerta Grade Level, and Índice de Legibilidad de Flesch-Szigriszt).

Department of Orthopedic Surgery & Rehabilitation, Loyola University Medical Center, Maywood, Illinois, U.S.A.
Purpose: To determine the incidence rate (IR) of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and associated musculoskeletal injuries in recreational and/or military-training obstacle course races (OCRs) and to determine whether there are any risk factors or features of OCRs impacting the rate of ACL injury in race participants.
Methods: This systematic review was performed in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses guidelines. Studies were identified using the following electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Scopus.
Drop Vertical Jump Landing Mechanics Are Similar Between Patients With Quadriceps Tendon and Patellar Tendon Autografts After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction.
Arthrosc Sports Med Rehabil
December 2024
College of Charleston, Charleston, South Carolina, U.S.A.
Purpose: To compare the biomechanics of a drop vertical jump (DVJ) landing task and functional outcomes among patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with quadriceps tendon (QT) and patellar tendon (PT) autografts.
Methods: Physically active patients who underwent primary ACLR with either a QT or PT autograft were included in this study. All were within 6 months to 2 years after surgery and cleared for return to physical activity.

Introduction: Stair ascent and descent are physically demanding tasks requiring higher functional ability of the lower extremity muscles and joint range of motion than level walking, and are associated with patient satisfaction after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). This study aimed to investigate stair ascent and descent ability after cruciate-retaining (CR)-TKA using the patient-reported outcomes, and to examine the role of knee sagittal stability and handgrip strength in postoperative stair ascent and descent ability.
Materials And Methods: This study included 84 female patients who underwent primary unilateral CR-TKA for knee osteoarthritis at our institute between April 2015 and February 2019.

Purpose: To compare football players who have undergone one anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) with those who have undergone a subsequent ACLR (revision or contralateral) regarding (1) demographics, (2) football-related factors and (3) injury-specific data.
Methods: Players who voluntarily completed a football-specific questionnaire available at the Swedish National Knee Ligament Registry website between April 2017 and September 2020 at the time of their primary ACL injury were included in the study. The questionnaire covered demographics, football-related activities and injury-specific factors.
