Acromioclavicular (AC) dislocation is a common lesion often resulting from a sports injury. Nowadays, treatment is still controversial mainly in grade III lesions according to the Rockwood classification. For most surgically treated AC acute dislocations, treatment is performed with an arthroscopic procedure that anatomically reconstructs the coracoclavicular ligaments. Increasing knowledge about AC joint biomechanics has underlined the importance of its horizontal stability through the superior and inferior AC ligaments. Moreover, the pattern of lesion tends to repeat itself, with the superior AC ligament being torn most frequently from the clavicular side in a peeling fashion. Therefore, the purpose of this note is to describe the technical aspects of additional horizontal stability through superior AC ligament repair using suture anchors.

Department of Joint and Bone Surgery, the First Affiliated Hospital of Wannan Medical College, Wuhu Anhui, 241000, P. R. China.
Objective: To explore the feasibility and effectiveness of suture anchor double-pulley technique combined with suture three-dimensional binding via bone tunnel technique for avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella.
Methods: A clinical data of 38 patients with avulsion fractures of the inferior pole of the patella, who met the selective criteria and were admitted between September 2021 and April 2023, was retrospectively analyzed. The fractures were treated with suture anchor double-pulley technique combined with suture three-dimensional binding via bone tunnel technique in 18 cases (group A) and steel wire tension-band fixation in 20 cases (group B).

Department of Sports Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University, Kunming Yunnan, 650032, P. R. China.
Objective: To investigate the effectiveness of modified single patellar tunnel medial patella femoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction in the treatment of recurrent patellar dislocation.
Methods: Between January 2023 and June 2023, a total of 61 patients with recurrent patellar dislocation who underwent MPFL reconstruction with autologous semitendinosus were enrolled and divided into 2 groups using random number table method. In the patellar anchor group, 31 patients were treated with MPFL reconstruction with double medial patellar anchors, and 30 patients in the patellar tunnel group were treated with MPFL reconstruction with single patellar tunnel.
A comparative study on the efficacy of kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture internal fixation versus partial patellectomy in the treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures.

Department of Orthopedic Surgery, The Second Hospital Affiliated to Shenyang Medical College, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, China.
Objective: The treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures has long posed a challenge for orthopedic surgeons. This study aims to compare the biomechanical stability and clinical efficacy of Kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture fixation versus traditional partial patellectomy in the treatment of comminuted inferior pole patellar fractures.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 14 patients who underwent Kirschner wire tension band combined with anchor cross-suture fixation (Group A) in our department of orthopedics from September 2020 to April 2022.
