Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) mucoid cysts are rare. They are often asymptomatic and unrecognized. Their clinical expression is polymorphic and MRI allows for an early diagnosis confirmed by histology. Arthroscopic resection is the gold standard treatment. Our study reports a case of ACL mucoid cyst treated with arthroscopic resection.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the return to sports, return to competition, Tegner score and anterior cruciate ligament-return to sports injury (ACL-RSI) scores between patients who underwent ACL reconstruction (ACLR) combined with anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) and those who underwent ACLR alone.
Methods: Two independent reviewers conducted a literature search in PubMed (MEDLINE), EMBASE, Google Scholar and the Cochrane Library in July 2024, followed by data extraction and quality assessment. This study followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and meta-analysis guidelines.
Minimizing Unnecessary Harvesting of an Extremely Thin Gracilis Tendon During ACL Reconstruction by Referencing the Diameter of the Doubled Semitendinosus Tendon Alone.

Background: The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) graft failure is inversely related to the diameter of the ACLR graft. When the diameter of a 4-stranded hamstring tendon graft with a doubled semitendinosus and doubled gracilis tendon (ST×2 + G×2) configuration is <8 mm, the gracilis tendon is often thin.
Hypothesis: (1) The diameter of the doubled semitendinosus tendon (ST×2) alone would be able to predict the probability of a 4-stranded ACLR graft having a diameter of ≥8 mm, and (2) there would be a specific cutoff value for the ST×2 diameter such that the addition of a doubled gracilis tendon (G×2) will not result in a 4-stranded graft with a ≥8-mm diameter.
Background: Contamination of sterilized surgical instruments is not a typically suspected source of increased infection rate, especially if no abnormalities in the sterilization process are detected.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to report increased infection rates after knee ligament reconstructions due to undetectable sterilization process errors leading to residual moisture, not limited to a specific surgical tool. It was hypothesized that (1) residual moisture on surgical tools due to autoclave overloading would not be detected by autoclave self-diagnostics, chemical and biological tests, or organoleptic assessment and (2) this kind of contamination may elevate infection rates, especially in knee intra-articular reconstruction procedures.
Uncovering the State of Current Data on Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Use Versus Bone-Patellar Tendon-Bone and Hamstring Tendon Autografts in Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction at ≥5 Years After Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

Background: The use of quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been increasing since 2014. Studies have shown that QT is comparable to hamstring tendon (HT) and bone-patellar tendon-bone (BTB) autografts in terms of outcomes, although QT autograft has lower rates of donor site morbidity. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses have been previously conducted on this topic, although none have focused solely on data of patients at least 5 years out from surgery.

Background: Patients with simultaneous ruptures of the patellar tendon (PT) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) underwent PT repair and ACL reconstruction in a single or staged surgery. However, due to the limited cases, the design of previous studies was mostly case report with varying conclusions regarding recommended surgical strategy selection, the optimal surgical strategy remains a subject of debate.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective case series and literature review, including 10 cases from local institution and 27 cases from 17 studies.
