Coronal and sagittal plane knee malalignments have been shown to increase the forces on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) grafts after ACL reconstruction (ACLR). Studies have shown the benefit of high tibial osteotomy to address coronal and sagittal imbalance in revision ACLR. The purpose of this article is to further describe the use of osteotomy by reviewing preoperative planning, indications, techniques, and outcomes of high tibial opening and closing wedge as well as anterior tibial closing wedge osteotomies in the setting of ACLR.

: Improper neuromuscular control with excessive dynamic valgus loading of the knee has been identified as one of the main anterior cruciate ligament injury risk factors. This study aimed to analyze the impact of the FIFA 11+ training program on the valgus loading of the knee in academy soccer players over a competitive season. : A prospective study was conducted on 85 players.

Background: Persistent maladaptive changes of corticospinal tract (CST) and quadriceps strength deficits exist in patients with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). This study aimed to investigate the relationships between the structural alterations of CST and quadriceps muscle strength deficits in patients with ACLR.
Methods: Twenty-nine participants who had undergone unilateral ACLR (29 males; age = 32.

Non-contact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is a common serious orthopaedic disease in humans and dogs. Familial risk has been recognized in both species but interactions between genetic effects and environmental risk are not understood. We investigated ACL rupture heritability, genetic architecture, selection pressure, sharing of risk genes and biological pathways, and polygenic risk score (PRS) prediction of disease risk.

Background: The aim of this study was to predict intraoperative graft diameter with our new method by evaluating the cross-sectional areas (CSAs) of the hamstrings in axial sections of MRI.
Methods: This study included 78 patients who underwent single-bundle ACLR between 2022 and 2023. MRIs of the patients were evaulated preoperatively and four CSAs of the hamstring tendons were measured in two different regions by two participants.

Introduction: This systematic review is aimed to evaluate the outcomes of published studies on the topic of fatigue-induced neuromuscular and biomechanical changes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction.
Evidence Acquisition: The identification of studies involved a search across three databases - PubMed, Scopus, and Sportdiscus - until July 2023. The key terms utilized were fatigue, anterior cruciate ligament, biomechanics, electromyography, and landing.
