Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most commonly studied orthopaedic injuries. Despite having an excellent prognosis, complications do occur. The timely recognition and management of complications is imperative to ensure the success of reconstruction. Avoiding such complications requires thorough preoperative planning, proficient technical skills to properly manage intraoperative complications, and an extensive knowledge of possible postoperative complications.

Background: Wearable activity-measurement devices are increasingly popular among the public, but there is little information regarding their use among patients undergoing sports medicine procedures. The purpose of this study was to compare accelerometer-measured data with traditional patient-reported measures and to determine the trajectory of physical activity from before surgery to 1 year after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
Materials And Methods: Adult patients undergoing primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction were enrolled in this prospective cohort pilot study.

Background: Optimal perioperative pain management is unknown for adolescent patients undergoing anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The study aimed to determine the association of nerve blocks with short- and long-term pain outcomes and factors influencing self-reported neurological symptoms.
Methods: We performed a multisite, prospective observational study of adolescent patients undergoing ACLR.

Purpose: To investigate the failure rate, predictive factors associated with failure and clinical outcomes after a two-stage surgery; meniscus repair followed by subsequent anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR).
Methods: Patients with a concomitant traumatic meniscus tear and ACL injury who underwent a two-stage surgery between January 2015 and January 2021 were identified. The primary outcome was meniscal repair failure, defined as a reoperation (re-repair or resection).
An isolated extra-articular procedure can be indicated for patients with minor instabilities and intact graft after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Background: Some patients submitted to isolated ACL reconstruction may have symptomatic postoperative rotational instability. The objective of this study was to evaluate a population with mild rotatory instability after ACL reconstruction, which was submitted to an isolated extra-articular procedure.
Methods: Patients submitted to an isolated extra-articular procedure after ACL reconstruction were retrospectively evaluated.
Association Between Autograft Choice and Psychological Readiness to Return to Sport After ACL Reconstruction.

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
Background: It has been demonstrated that an athlete's psychological readiness contributes to one's ability to successfully return to sport (RTS) after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, the effect of graft choice on psychological readiness is not yet understood.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between graft choice and an athlete's psychological readiness to RTS.
