Interest and knowledge on the anatomy, function, and biomechanical properties of the anterolateral ligament has led to the recognition of the importance of this structure in rotational control of the knee. This article describes a technique that allows for a combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and anterolateral reconstruction, using an Iliotibial band (ITB) autograft. The graft is detached from the vastus lateralis from proximal to distal, at the center portion from ITB, preserving its distal insertion on the Gerdy tubercle. Its width is 1 cm for the distal part, used for the anterolateral ligament reconstruction, and 3 cm for the proximal part. An outside-in femoral tunnel is drilled respecting both the preferred favorable isometric femoral insertion site and the femoral ACL footprint. An ACL reconstruction combined with a lateral tenodesis with a continuous ITB graft respects the anatomical and isometric rules providing superior internal rotational control of the knee in comparison with a stand-alone ACL reconstruction.

Introduction: Combined uveitis-rheumatology clinics (combined clinics) are a relatively recent clinical care model. Here we report the demographics, ocular and systemic disease characteristics, and medications utilized in patients seen in a combined clinic at a tertiary care hospital in the USA.
Methods: Medical records were reviewed of patients seen at the Combined Clinic at the University of Colorado Hospital between January 1, 2016 and November 1, 2023.

Background: There is currently no definitive treatment for osteoarthritis. We examined the therapeutic effects and underlying mechanisms of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and adipose-derived mesenchymal stem cells (ADSCs), individually or in combination, in a rat model of anterior cruciate ligament-induced degenerative osteoarthritis (OA) of the knee. This study seeks to advance clinical approaches to OA treatment.

Purpose: To evaluate long-term anatomical and functional outcomes in eyes undergoing scleral fixation of aniridic black diaphragm intraocular lens (BDIOL).
Methods: Total 38 eyes that underwent scleral fixation of BDIOL for secondary aniridia following ocular trauma with aphakia with absent posterior capsule or primary congenital aniridia with subluxated lens were retrospectively analyzed. Final visual acuity, early and late complications were examined.

Objective: Corpus callosum (CC) damage is the most consistent and typical change in early Parkinson's disease (PD), and is associated with various PD symptoms. However, the precise relationship between CC subregions and specific PD symptoms have not been identified comprehensively. In this study, we investigated the association between specific CC subregion alterations and PD symptoms using diffusion-weighted imaging.
