In traditional endoscopic anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, inadequate visualization of the femoral footprint through a lateral portal frequently causes surgical errors. Although various portal locations have been reported, no study has identified ideal locations for specific portals in relation to ACL reconstruction. This article presents the new transtibial portal technique (ie, the use of an existing tibial tunnel). This technique provides excellent direct visualization of the femoral ACL footprint without the need to create additional portals. It allows dynamic visualization of the relationship of the future graft with posterior cruciate ligament and bone structures. [. 2021;44(5):e691-e693.].

Injury of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee is common, with up to 250,000 cases annually in the United States. Such injuries can lead to muscle atrophy, impaired balance, and limited movement. This study aimed to compare the lower limbs of individuals with ACL reconstruction to a Control group.

Background: The failure rate of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in children and adolescents is a significant concern. Of the multitude of clinical factors that contribute to this risk, delayed maturation and graft laxity are potentially related and modifiable elements. The aim was to investigate knee anterior laxity and graft maturation in children and adolescents.

Background: The Knee Outcome Survey - Activities of Daily Living Scale (KOS-ADLS) is a patient-reported outcome measure (PROM) developed to assess symptoms and functional limitations in patients with various knee disorders. The aim of this study was to translate and culturally adapt the KOS-ADLS to Danish and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Danish version (KOS-ADLS-DK) in patients with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury.
Methods: The KOS-ADLS was translated and culturally adapted to Danish in accordance with recommended guidelines.

Background: Advances in technology and affordability of ultrasound (US) have expanded its use in the evaluation of musculoskeletal injuries. However, US accuracy for diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries remains inconsistently reported in the literature.
Hypothesis/purpose: Systematically review the literature and perform a meta-analysis to statistically evaluate the accuracy of US in diagnosing ACL tears.

Introduction: Sports injuries involving bi-articular muscles like the hip flexors, hamstrings, quadriceps, and gastrocnemius significantly affect athletes' performance and quality of life. Comprehensive rehabilitation is crucial for a pain-free return to play (RTP). Over the past 15 years, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has emerged for its potential in tissue regeneration.
