Background: Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) of the knee is a focal idiopathic alteration of subchondral bone and/or its precursor with risk for instability and disruption of adjacent cartilage. Treatment options focused on preventing premature osteoarthritis vary depending on multiple patient and lesion characteristics, including lesion mobility.
Purpose: To differentiate lesion mobility before arthroscopy using a multivariable model that includes patient demographic characteristics and physical examination findings.

Background: The microvasculature of the human meniscus has been previously described by Arnoczky and Warren. However, to date, the qualitative and quantitative extra-articular vascular anatomy of the medial meniscus has not been characterized.
Purposes: To perform a qualitative and quantitative anatomic study of the extra-articular medial meniscal vasculature and to introduce the novel "medial meniscal artery" (MMA), potentially providing future guidelines for the treatment of meniscal abnormalities.

Background: There may be an association between repetitive stress on the elbow and capitellar osteochondritis dissecans (COCD). The influence of activity on the characteristics or specific location of the lesion within a capitellar zone of propensity remains unclear.
Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to evaluate COCD in gymnasts and baseball players compared with a non-upper extremity (non-UE) sport COCD cohort.

Background: Sleep disturbance is commonly reported by patients wearing an abduction brace after arthroscopic rotator cuff repair (ARCR). Although a sling has been proven noninferior to an abduction brace for function and repair integrity, there is no evidence-based medical support for the advantage of the sling in improving sleep quality compared with a brace.
Purpose/hypothesis: This study aimed to compare the effects of a sling and an abduction brace on sleep quality and clinical outcomes after ARCR.

Background: Previous studies have examined the relationship between patient resilience and functional outcome scores after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). However, past studies have failed to explore the longitudinal relationship between preoperative resilience and functional outcomes 2 years after ACLR.
Purpose: To evaluate the relationship between preoperative patient resilience and functional outcomes 2 years after ACLR.

School of Kinesiology, Rehabilitation Biomechanics Laboratory, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA.
Background: Both high body mass index (BMI) and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) independently influence knee osteoarthritis risk. Preliminary evidence shows the combination of these risk factors leads to poorer recovery and altered biomechanical outcomes after ACLR, but few studies have directly evaluated early changes in cartilage health between normal-BMI and high-BMI groups in this population.
Purpose: To evaluate ultrasound-based measures of cartilage strain and compositional changes (via echo-intensity [EI]) in response to an incline walking stress test between normal-BMI and high-BMI individuals with ACLR.

Luminis Health Orthopedics, Pasadena, MD, USA.
Background: Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has been documented to have inferior outcomes compared with primary ACL reconstruction. The reasons why remain unknown.
Purpose: To determine whether surgical factors performed at the time of revision ACL reconstruction can influence a patient's outcome at 6-year follow-up.
