Graft failure after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is multifactorial, with increased tibia slope identified as one of the risk factors. Several slope-correcting osteotomies have been proposed to address this in revision surgery, with most of the procedures using a supratuberosity or transtuberosity approach. Although satisfactory results have been presented, severe complications involving the extensor mechanism can occur. In this Technical Note, an infratuberosity anterior closing-wedge high tibial osteotomy is demonstrated for slope correction in anterior cruciate ligament-deficient knees in the revision setting.

Background: Accurate femoral tunnel positioning is essential for successful anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. Tunnel malposition can happen due to limited arthroscopic visibility as well as anatomic variance. The use of customized patient-specific guides can optimize surgical planning and enhance accuracy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFPurpose: To compare postoperative activity levels between patients who received an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) with- and without a lateral extra-articular procedure (LEAP).
Objectives: The primary objective is to examine whether patients treated with an ALCR and LEAP have a greater chance to return to sport (RTS) and return to their pre-injury level of sport (RTPS). The re-rupture rates between the two groups will also be analysed as this is of great influence on the RTS and RTPS.
Correlation between anthropometric parameters and anterior cruciate ligament, hamstring tendon, and posterior horn of medial and lateral meniscus sizes.

Background: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is commonly performed in orthopedic surgery. Hamstring autografts are frequently used as a graft option for the ACL; however, a clear consensus on optimal graft size is lacking.
Hypothesis/purpose: Here we aimed to determine the mean ACL, hamstring tendon, and posterior horn meniscal sizes in a Saudi population to determine whether correlations exist between anthropometric data and the widths of the ACL, hamstring tendons (specifically the gracilis and semitendinosus tendons), and medial and lateral meniscal posterior horns.

Background: Pediatric anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) in skeletally immature patients is still controversially debated, with several gaps in its literature. More information is needed about the role of concomitant meniscal injuries in postoperative outcomes and return to pre-injury sports level (RTS).
Methods: Fifty skeletally immature patients who underwent ACLR were enrolled prospectively: 21 had meniscal injury additionally, and 29 did not.
Remodeling Process of the Tendon Graft After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Comprehensive Analysis With RNA Sequencing in a Murine Model.

The tendon graft is known to undergo a remodeling process after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. However, little is known about the transcriptional profile of this process. The aim of the present study is to identify differentially expressed genes inside the remodeling ACL graft in the early phase after ACL reconstruction in our murine model using RNA sequencing (RNAseq).
