Background: Sequence variants within the matrix metalloproteinases genes remain plausible biological candidates for further investigation of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture risk. The aim of the present study was to establish whether variants within the (rs1799750, ->G), (rs486055, C > T) and (rs2276109, T > C) genes were associated with non-contact ACL rupture in a Polish cohort.
Methods: The unrelated, self-reported Polish Caucasian participants consisted of 228 (157 male) individuals with primary non-contact ACL rupture and 202 (117 male) participants without any history of ACL rupture. All samples were genotyped in duplicate using the Applied Biosystems TaqMan methodology. The statistical analyses were involved in determining the distribution of genotype and allele frequencies for the investigated polymorphisms between the diagnostic groups. Furthermore, pseudo-haplotypes were constructed to assess possible gene-gene interactions.
Results: All genotype frequencies in the ACL rupture and control groups conformed to Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium expectations. None of the polymorphisms were associated with risk of non-contact ACL rupture under the codominant, dominant, recessive and over-dominant genetic models. Likewise, no genotype-genotype combinations inferred as "haplotypes" as a proxy of gene-gene interactions were associated with the risk of non-contact ACL ruptures.
Conclusions: Despite the fact that the current study did not support existing evidence suggesting that variants within the , , and genes influence non-contact ACL rupture risk, future work should include high-throughput sequencing technologies to identify potential targeted polymorphisms to fully characterize the 11q22 region with susceptibility to non-contact ACL rupture susceptibility in a Polish cohort.

Introduction: anterior cruciate ligament rupture has evolved to be one of the most common sports injuries with a remarkable increase in its incidence in the last two decades, with Return-To-Sport being a crucial approach in the choice of autologous graft for its surgical repair, the most commonly used being hamstring and quadriceps tendon graft.
Material And Methods: a prospective randomized study was performed with 32 patients divided into two groups, one for each type of graft, with 13 patients in each. They were evaluated before surgery, at 30, 180 and 360 days after the procedure using scales such as Lysholm, mCKRS and ACL-RSI, and their previous activity level was considered using the Tegner score.

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most injured ligaments, with approximately 100,000 ACL reconstructions taking place annually in the United States. In order to successfully manage ACL rupture, it is of the utmost importance to understand the anatomy, unique physiology, and biomechanics of the ACL, as well as the injury mechanisms and healing capacity. Currently, the "gold standard" for the treatment of ACL ruptures is surgical reconstruction, particularly for young patients or athletes expecting to return to pivoting sports.

PubMed and Medline databases were searched in October 2023 for studies reporting outcomes of arthroscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and stable medial meniscal ramp lesion treatment. Studies focused on diagnostic approaches, biomechanical properties, unstable ramp lesions, isolated ramp lesions, and concomitant intraarticular/extraarticular pathologies other than ACL rupture are excluded.

Platelet rich plasma (PRP) is an autologous blood product rich in platelets, showing promise in reducing inflammation and accelerating healing. While extensively utilized in plastic surgery, dermatology, and osteoarthritis treatment, its application in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries is limited. This article examines PRP's potential in ACL reconstruction (ACLR), exploring its history, current usage, controversies and future directions.
