Purpose: To measure the acceleration in multiple directions of the rotational instability in ACL deficient models using porcine knees.
Methods: Ten porcine knees were tested with ACL intact and tear models. The pivot shift test was performed manually, and the acceleration of the pivot shift phenomenon was recorded by the use of a triaxial accelerometer. Tests were repeated in four different ACL states: (1) intact; (2) partial AM deficient; (3) complete AM deficient, and (4) complete ACL (AM and PL) deficient. The acceleration in three directions and the magnitude of acceleration were measured to evaluate rotational instability and compare between different ACL conditions.
Results: Significantly increased accelerations were observed in the complete deficient ACL model, while the partial ACL tear models demonstrated a slight increase without statistical significance. The accelerometer detected stepwise increases in the acceleration with the extent of ACL tear. Additionally, the PL bundle exhibited the largest contribution for rotational instability (80.4%) when compared with the AM (19.5%) bundles.
Conclusion: Triaxial accelerometer could serve as a quantitative evaluation of rotational instability. The present study demonstrated that PL bundle has the most important contribution for rotational instability (80.4%) when compared to IM bundle (0.01%) and AM bundle (19.5%) in porcine knee model.

The effect of arthroscopic Bankart repair and remplissage procedure on joint range of motion and functional outcomes in anterior shoulder instability.
Acta Orthop Traumatol Turc

Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Yıldırım Beyazıt University, Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the e!ect of arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR) alone and ABR with an additional remplissage procedure on joint range of motion and functional results in patients with anterior shoulder instability.
Methods: This retrospective study included patients treated 1 year ago with either ABR alone or the ABR additional remplissage procedure. The Bankart lesion was determined by magnetic resonance imaging, and the amount of glenoid bone loss was determined by computed tomography.
Deltopectoral approach without subscapularis detachment for reverse shoulder arthroplasty. Technique and results of a safe and reproducible subscapularis-sparing approach.

Background: The importance of the subscapularis for reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been demonstrated, especially for internal rotation and stability. In a deltopectoral approach, a detachment of the subscapularis is performed (tenotomy, tuberosity peeling, or osteotomy), but the tendon is not always repairable at the end. When it is repaired, healing is obtained in only 40%-76% of the cases, with potential consequences for the outcomes.

Bond Institute of Health and Sport, Robina, Australia.
Background: Current research focused on clinical outcomes suggests that lateral extra-articular procedures (LEAPs) can reduce rotational instability and graft failure rates in primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions (ACLRs). Limited studies have investigated the functional outcomes after LEAPs, including patient-reported outcome measures, sports participation, and physical performance.
Purpose: To conduct a systematic literature review and meta-analysis to determine whether the addition of a LEAP to an ACLR results in superior functional and clinical outcomes as compared with an isolated ACLR.
Evaluation of Thigh Muscle Strength in Adolescent Patients After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis or Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.
Orthop J Sports Med
January 2025
Department of Kinesiology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia, USA.
Background: There has been increased interest in lateral extra-articular procedures, such as anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) or lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET), to reduce anterolateral rotation instability of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Despite promising surgical outcomes with these techniques, their impact on knee strength recovery is unknown.
Hypothesis: Patients undergoing lateral extra-articular procedures at the time of ACLR would have impaired thigh muscle strength at 6 to 9 months after surgery.
Opioid Consumption Following Isolated and Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation and Reduction.
J Shoulder Elbow Surg
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics; University Hospital Cleveland Medical Center, Cleveland, OH, USA.
Background: Recurrent shoulder dislocations often lead to multiple encounters for reduction and eventual surgical stabilization, both of which involve exposure to opioids and potentially increase the risk of chronic opioid exposure. The purpose of our study was to characterize shoulder instability and compare pre- and post-reduction opioid usage in singular dislocators (SD) and recurrent dislocators (RD).
Methods: This retrospective study was performed at a single academic institution using a prospective database.
