Objective: To conduct a systematic review of literature about the use of contralateral patellar tendon autograft in anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions and present the results.
Methods: The LILACS, MEDLINE, Cochrane, PubMed, Scielo and Google Scholar databases were searched without date restrictions for the keywords "anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction" combined with "contralateral" in the article title. After the studies were identified, two independent evaluators collected the qualitative characteristics of the studies and classified them according to clinical outcomes of these grafts as positive, neutral, or negative.
Results: A total of 755 articles were found initially, and after detailed evaluation of all references, followed by a screening process and assessment of quality, a total of 11 studies were determined to be eligible for inclusion in this systematic review. Of these, 72.72% were level II studies, the most common level of evidence among the results. Positive results for this type of graft were found in 63.63% of the studies.
Conclusion: Based on the literature review, most of the included articles (63.63%) presented positive results for the use of contralateral patellar tendon grafts. Level of Evidence III; Systematic review.

Functional Outcome of Extensor Mechanism Salvage in Patella Fracture Non-union Using Krackow Sutures: A Case Report.
Cureus

Department of Orthopedics, Krishna Vishwa Vidyapeeth (Deemed to be University), Satara, IND.
Patellar fractures can lead to extensor mechanism dysfunction if not repaired properly, impacting knee function and mobility, and this complication can be challenging to manage, especially in cases where previous surgical interventions have failed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the functional outcome of the salvaged extensor mechanism in patella fracture non-union using Krakow sutures in a 61-year-old female patient who presented with knee pain, reduced flexion, and a 40-degree extension lag after two previous patellar fracture surgeries using tension band wiring resulted in non-union. Despite rehabilitation attempts, her knee function remained compromised.

Background: Anatomic rectangular tunnel anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ART-ACLR) can mimic the fiber arrangement of the native ACL and restore normal knee biomechanics, compared with the conventional round tunnel ACLR. ART-ACLR using a bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) graft can provide satisfactory clinical outcomes; however, some issues such as secondary ACL injury and donor-site morbidity, including postoperative anterior knee pain (AKP), remain to be solved. Due to these issues, quadriceps tendon-bone (QTB) grafts have recently become more popular.

Purpose: To report the rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft failure by physis status (open, closing, closed) and to analyze which factors were associated with higher risk of ACL graft failure.
Methods: Patients younger than 18 years who underwent transphyseal ACL reconstruction (ACLR) between 2000 and 2018 at a single institution were reviewed at minimum 2 years after ACLR. Patient records were reviewed for anthropometrics, surgical techniques, and ACL graft failure.
The Effect of C-Arm Position on Femoral Tunnel Placement in Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction.
Orthop J Sports Med

Department of Trauma, Hand and Reconstructive Surgery, University Hospital Münster, Münster, Germany.
Background: Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction is a common treatment for patellar instability. Yet nearly 40% of revisions result from femoral tunnel misplacement. One reason may be the positioning of the C-arm relative to the knee.

School of Exercise and Health, Shanghai University of Sport, Shanghai, China.
Background: Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) has been recommended for refractory arthrofibrosis after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, the effectiveness of MUA to restore normal kinematics of the arthrofibrotic knee is still unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate tibiofemoral and patellofemoral kinematics in six degrees-of-freedom (6DOF) in patients with arthrofibrosis before and after MUA.
