Article Abstract
The purposes of this study were to describe a method for measuring tibiofemoral subluxation in UKA, and to report the mean amount of tibiofemoral subluxation seen both preoperatively and postoperatively in a cohort of patients undergoing UKA. Two hundred thirty-five patients who received a medial UKA, and 39 patients who received a lateral UKA, were reviewed. In the medial UKA cohort, the mechanical alignment was corrected from 7.7° ± 5.9° preoperatively, to 2.9° ± 2.5° postoperatively, while the tibiofemoral subluxation was corrected from 4.5 mm ± 3.0 mm preoperatively, to 2.3 mm ± 2.7 mm postoperatively. In the lateral UKA cohort, the mechanical alignment was corrected from -5.5° ± 3.8° to -1.6° ± 3.4°, while the tibiofemoral subluxation was corrected from 4.3 mm ± 2.7 mm to 2.8 mm ± 2.5mm. This study presents a novel method for measurement of tibiofemoral subluxation, the mean amount of tibiofemoral subluxation present preoperatively, and the amount of correction that can be expected during both medial and lateral unicondylar knee arthroplasty.

The presence of a Segond fracture in ACL-injured patients is associated with increased internal tibial rotation on preoperative MRIs.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on Segond fractures in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, analyzing the impact of these fractures on tibiofemoral position using MRI.
- A total of 44 patients with ACL injuries and Segond fractures were compared to 44 matched control patients without Segond fractures, specifically looking at injuries and rotatory movement in the knee.
- Results indicated that patients with Segond fractures showed higher rates of additional knee injuries and significant changes in rotational movement, suggesting a link between Segond fractures and more complex knee damage.
Proximal tibiofibular joint instability in multiligamentous injury of the knee.

We present a case of a man in his 40s with a proximal tibiofibular joint dislocation, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear and posterolateral corner (PLC) injury sustained after a cycling accident. Physical examination and MRI confirmed the diagnosis. He was treated with reconstruction of the ACL, PLC and proximal tibiofibular joint.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine the relationship between anterior tibial subluxation (ATS) and the failure of primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) to determine if higher ATS and differences in ATS between knee compartments are linked to ACLR failures.
- A systematic search of databases like PubMed and Scopus found eight comparative studies with a total of 963 patients, revealing that those who experienced ACLR failure had significantly higher ATS, both laterally and medially, when measured via imaging techniques.
- The findings suggest that measuring ATS can be beneficial for planning surgeries and managing care after ACLR, indicating a clear association between increased ATS and the likelihood of reconstruction failure.
Case Report: Dislocation of lateral menisci secondary to congenital lateral tibiofemoral cartilage thickening in both knees.

A 24-year-old male patient complained of mild knee pain after jogging. The subsequent knee MRI demonstrated bilateral lateral thickened tibiofemoral cartilages, evidenced by deformities of the bilateral subchondral bone beneath the lateral femoral condyle cartilage. The corresponding dislocations of almost all the left lateral meniscus and part of the right lateral meniscus to the center of the joint were detected.

Purpose: Conservative treatment remains the standard approach for first-time patellar dislocations. While risk factors for patellofemoral instability, a common paediatric injury, are well-established in adults, data concerning the progression of paediatric recurrent patellar dislocation remain scarce. A reproducible method was developed to quantitatively assess the patellofemoral morphology and anatomic risk factors in paediatric patients using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and machine learning analysis.
