Posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fracture injuries have been associated with an increased risk of meniscal tears and premature patellofemoral/medial compartment osteoarthritis. Sports-related trauma is a common cause of posterior cruciate ligament avulsion fractures. Surgical management is recommended for displaced bony avulsion of the posterior cruciate ligament to stabilize the knee and prevent knee pain, nonunion, and osteoarthritis progression. This article discusses our preferred treatment using a loop suspensory fixation device through a dual posteromedial portal technique.

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.

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).

Background: Identifying patients at high risk for failure of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) on the basis of preoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements has received considerable attention. In this study, we aimed to identify potential risk factors for primary ACLR failure from preoperative MRI measurements and to determine optimal cutoff values for clinical relevance.

Methods: Retrospective review and follow-up were conducted in this nested case-control study of patients who underwent primary single-bundle ACLR using hamstring tendon autograft at our institution from August 2016 to January 2018.

Purpose: To analyze whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can predict return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and whether a correlation exists between return to sports, level of activity and MRI signals.

Methods: The search terms selected for inclusion in the title, abstract, and keyword fields were as follows: 'anterior cruciate ligament' OR 'ACL' AND 'graft maturation' OR 'MRI' AND 'return to sport' OR 'sports activity.' For each study, patient data and the MRI protocol used to assess graft maturation were extracted.

Objective: Translation of biological insights from preclinical studies to human disease is a pressing challenge in biomedical research, including in osteoarthritis. Translatable Components Regression (TransComp-R) is a computational framework that has previously been used to synthesize preclinical and human OA data to identify biological pathways predictive of human disease conditions. We aimed to evaluate the translatability of two common murine models of post-traumatic osteoarthritis - surgical destabilization of the medial meniscus (DMM) and noninvasive anterior cruciate ligament rupture (ACLR) - to transcriptomics cartilage data from human OA outcomes.
