Knee arthrofibrosis is a common complication after surgery, which is one of the key factors affecting the surgical outcome. It often causes the decrease of joint activity, chronic arthralgia, degeneration of cartilage tissues and joint disuse change, which seriously affects the daily life of the patients. How to reduce the occurrence of knee arthrofibrosis is the key to improve the expected effect of surgery, which is also an important problem to solve in clinical medicine; with our team's previous and recent research, we found that the degree of knee arthrofibrosis is closely related to the rang of the surgical. The use of minimally invasive and arthroscopic treatment can reduce the damage to synovial, cartilage and fat pad tissue, at the same time, combining with early postoperative rehabilitation training is the future effective prevention of postoperative arthrofibrosis of knee.

December 2024
The CORE Institute, Phoenix, AZ, USA.
Background: Arthroplasty registries play a critical role in improving the quality of care and performing post-market surveillance of medical devices. We report the Michigan Arthroplasty Registry Collaborative Quality Initiative (MARCQI) findings specific to the Biomet Vanguard XP bicruciate-retaining total knee implant.
Methods: Data were collected from MARCQI's 2019 report (February 15, 2012, through December 31, 2018).
Complications in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.

Department of Traumatology, Knee and Arthroscopy Unit, Clínica Alemana, Universidad Del Desarrollo, Santiago, Chile.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), despite its effectiveness in restoring knee stability and function, can have associated morbidity. The most frequent complications are technical errors, which have been described during graft harvesting, tunnel placement or graft fixation. The most serious complications are neurovascular injuries, arthrofibrosis and infections.

Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Considerable variability exists in the described clinical and radiographic indications for use, surgical techniques, postoperative management, and risk profile after trochleoplasty for the management of patellofemoral instability (PFI). In areas of clinical uncertainty, a cohesive summary of expert opinion and identification of areas of variation in current practice can be useful in guiding current practice and future research efforts.
Purpose: To assess the current indications for use, surgical techniques, postoperative rehabilitation practices, and observed complication profile for trochleoplasty in the management of PFI among surgeons who perform this procedure.
Impact of Functional Training on Injuries After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction for Return-to-Duty Status in U.S. Naval Academy Midshipmen: A Retrospective Analysis.

Musculoskeletal Department, Naval Health Clinic Annapolis/United States Naval Academy, Annapolis, MD 21402, USA.
Introduction: Acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries can be disabling because of prolonged rehabilitation process following surgical reconstructions. Rates of ACL injuries among military service members are close to 10 times greater than the general civilian population, likely because of the operation tempo and the unique physical requirements. Studies debated functional testing requirements for return to sports, but no study investigated the impact of functional training and re-injury rates following ACL reconstruction and their association with functional testing outcomes and time to return to full duty in United States Naval Academy (USNA) Midshipmen.

Background: Loss of motion and arthrofibrosis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) can be devastating complications for athletes. The cellular and molecular pathogenesis of arthrofibrosis is poorly understood, limiting prevention and treatment options. Synovial inflammation may contribute to post-ACLR arthrofibrosis.
