Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a commonly performed procedure. Drilling the femoral tunnel independent of the tibial tunnel has become popular as surgeons strive to create tunnels in the anatomic locations of the femoral and tibial attachments of the native ligament. The 2-incision technique effectively and reproducibly accomplishes this goal. The 2-incision technique for ACL reconstruction is a valuable tool in the skillset of the reconstructive knee surgeon. Indications for the 2-incision surgery are reviewed in detail. Furthermore, technical tips, complications, and outcomes are discussed.

Prevalence and Risk Factors for Medial Meniscus Ramp Lesions in the Setting of Pediatric Anterior Cruciate Ligament Injuries: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
J Pediatr Orthop
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Orthopedic Surgery, Hospital for Special Surgery, New York, NY.
Background: Medial meniscus ramp lesions (MMRLs) are commonly associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and may increase the risk of graft failure after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) if undiagnosed or left untreated. Although MMRLs have been extensively reported in adults, there are limited studies describing them in pediatric patients undergoing ACLR. The purpose of this study was to perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to determine the pooled prevalence of and risk factors for MMRLs in pediatric patients with ACL injuries.

Background: Polydatin (PD), also known as tiger cane glycoside, is a natural compound extracted from the Japanese knotweed plant, which is often referred to as white resveratrol. It exhibits anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-apoptotic effects in the treatment of various diseases. However, the potential molecular mechanisms of PD in osteoarthritis have not been clearly elucidated.

Front Bioeng Biotechnol
January 2025
Department of Orthopaedics, Guangdong Provincial People's Hospital (Guangdong Academy of Medical Sciences), Southern Medical Universit, Guangzhou, China.
Objective: The aim of this study is to assess the kinematic changes in the knee joint during walking in patients with isolated PCL-deficiency (PCLD) to determine the presence of walking-related joint instability (mechanical instability-abnormal displacement form structural damage). Additionally, the study seeks to provide biomechanical insights into the observed differences between subjective and objective assessments.
Methods: 35 healthy volunteers and 27 patients with isolated PCLD (both involved and uninvolved sides) were included in the study.
Comparison of Dynamic Postural Stability in Autografts Versus Allografts Following Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Remnant Preservation: A Prospective Study With 1-Year Follow-up.

Department of Sports Medical Center, Anam Hospital, Korea University College of Medicine, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Background: Graft selection is an important part of preoperative planning for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). In addition, ACLR with the remnant preservation technique has recently gained attention due to potential benefit in bone-tendon healing, graft revascularization, and proprioceptive nerve remodeling. However, the ideal graft choice remains controversial, and there is limited research comparing autograft and allograft in ACLR with remnant preservation.

Background: Additional anterolateral ligament (ALL) reconstruction has been associated with improved clinical outcomes and reduced failure rates in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Despite the excellent clinical results reported, there is still a heated debate about its indications. Currently, the indications are mainly based on the patient's clinical criteria and not the imaging diagnosis of the injury of this ligament.
