During 1979-81, 34 patients were operated according to Losee for chronic disabling anterior cruciate insufficiency. Twenty-nine patients were available for follow-up after 2 (1-4) years. At follow-up, 20 patients had a negative Slocum test. Twenty-one patients had a Lysholm knee score greater than 77 points, and were classified as good or excellent, with a significant relation to anterolateral stability.

Evaluation of Thigh Muscle Strength in Adolescent Patients After Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction With Lateral Extra-articular Tenodesis or Anterolateral Ligament Reconstruction.

Background: There has been increased interest in lateral extra-articular procedures, such as anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) or lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET), to reduce anterolateral rotation instability of the knee after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Despite promising surgical outcomes with these techniques, their impact on knee strength recovery is unknown.
Hypothesis: Patients undergoing lateral extra-articular procedures at the time of ACLR would have impaired thigh muscle strength at 6 to 9 months after surgery.

Article Synopsis
- Up to 27% of ACL reconstructions show ongoing instability, affecting athletes' ability to return to sports and increasing injury risks, leading researchers to compare isolated ACL repairs versus those combined with ALL reconstruction.
- An observational study with 236 patients narrowed down to 74 ACL and 37 ACL+ALL participants was conducted to evaluate knee stability and surgical outcomes, using methods like paired score matching for pseudo-randomization.
- Results indicated that ALL reinforcement improved pivot shift test outcomes (p=0.007), but no significant differences were found in other assessments, including pain, complications, and return to sports performance.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the surgical outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using hamstrings autograft (HA) plus lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET), isolated all-soft-tissue quadriceps autograft (QA), and isolated HA.
Methods: A retrospective review was performed comparing high risk patients undergoing ACL reconstruction with isolated HA, isolated QA, or HA+LET from August 2013 to January 2023. High risk patients, as determined by high grade pivot shift or generalized ligament laxity, with at least 2 years of follow up were included.

Introduction: Time spent in the operating room (OR) has ramifications that impact patient outcomes and the economics of patients, physicians, surgery centers, and insurance industry. For that reason, there is an incentive to seek approaches that allow shorter times to be spent in the OR. To what extent varying routine techniques impact on operating times has not been extensively studied in metacarpal fixation literature, specifically investigating retrograde threaded intramedullary nail fixations (RTNF) and comparing it to open plating fixations (OPF).

Introduction: Extraarticular deformity (EAD) with knee arthritis is a complex condition involving tri-planar bone deformity with pathological malalignment and chronic soft tissue contracture or laxity in the knee joint. Intraarticular correction by TKA, which was previously performed with conventional manual jig by mechanical alignment technique, had its limits and difficulties especially extensive soft tissue release and risk of jeopardizing the collateral ligaments. Robotic technology allows for reproducible and precise execution of surgical plan and allows adjustment to various new personalised alignment philosophy including functional alignment (FA).
