Many options are available concerning the graft fixation in ACL reconstruction, one of them being a suspensory device. Our study aimed to compare the strength of two different devices of fixation (suspensory device vs screw) on the tibia. We enrolled 80 patients older than 18 years with an isolated ACL tear confirmed at the MRI, divided into two comparative groups for a prospective study. The only factor which changed was the tibial fixation. The surgical treatment, performed by a unique surgeon, used the same inside-out technique for the two groups, with a ST4-strand graft. Various intraoperative parameters were studied like the time of the tourniquet, the diameter of the graft or an associated meniscus tear. The AP knee laxity was evaluated at 6 months and 1 year after the surgery by a TELOS test. We also compared the two groups with subjective and objective surveys. We can conclude that the suspensory device can offer the same strengthening.

Introduction: This study aims to evaluate the effects of adjustable- and fixed-loop femoral endobuttons on intraoperative surgeon satisfaction and postoperative patient functional outcomes in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The use of cortical suspensory devices, either fixed-loop or adjustable-loop, is common in ACL reconstruction surgeries for femoral tunnel fixation. Fixed-loop devices, although effective, often require additional tunnel drilling, potentially leading to tunnel widening.

We evaluated the surgical stress response of dogs undergoing three ovariohysterectomy (OVH) techniques. Twenty-nine healthy females were allocated into groups: celiotomy and ligature (CelioSut), celiotomy and bipolar energy (CelioBip), and a video-assisted technique using two portals and bipolar energy (VidBip). Clinical evaluation was performed, and the following blood analyses were determined: acute phase proteins (C-reactive protein and haptoglobin), white blood cell counting (WBC), and biomarkers of oxidative status.

Article Synopsis
- The superior shoulder suspensory complex (SSSC) is crucial for shoulder stability and is made up of multiple structures, including bones and ligaments; disruption of two or more leads to instability.
- A 43-year-old woman experienced a rare case of triple disruption involving her acromion, coracoid process, and acromioclavicular joint after a car accident, requiring surgical intervention.
- Treatment options vary for SSSC disruptions, with K-wire fixation chosen because of the patient’s smaller acromion size, emphasizing the need for personalized surgical approaches based on the injury specifics.
Effect of Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Preparation and Fixation on Graft Laxity During Suspensory Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: A Biomechanical Analysis.

Article Synopsis
- Advances in using quadriceps tendon autografts for ACL reconstruction have increased interest due to their favorable collagen properties, but the biomechanics of different fixation techniques remain unclear.
- This study aimed to compare the biomechanics of various suspensory techniques for securing soft tissue QT autografts in an ACL reconstruction model.
- Results showed that the tape-reinforced (TR) group had significantly better performance, with less tension loss and cyclic elongation than other techniques, while all techniques maintained stiffness and ultimate load capabilities above typical ACL limits.
