Concurrent meniscal repair with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction has shown good clinical outcomes, but it has a considerable risk of progressing to post-traumatic osteoarthritis of the knee. Here we investigated postoperative changes in the position of the lateral meniscus (LM) and assessed the short-term clinical results after concurrent LM repair with ACL reconstruction. Twenty...

The tendon-bone junction (TBJ) is a graded structure consisting of tendons, nonmineralised, and mineralised fibrocartilage bone. Given the complex gradient TBJ structure, healing particularly challenging. Injuries to such as anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears rotator cuff injuries are common serious sports injuries, affecting more than 250,000 patients annually in United States, people olde...

Patients: 80 patients (mean age, 29 y; 80% men) who had arthroscopic confirmation of complete rupture of the ACL, objective anterolateral rotatory instability (a positive result on the Lachman and pivot-shift tests), and loss of stability prompting giving-way of the knee joint. Other inclusion criteria were no previous or simultaneous intra-articular surgical procedure, no cartilage deteriorati...

PURPOSE. To evaluate the correlation between trochlear dysplasia and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury METHODS. Magnetic resonance images (MRIs) of 95 knees in 54 males and 36 females aged 4 to 74 (mean, 28) years who had anterior knee pain and suspected ligamentous injury were reviewed. The MRIs were independently reviewed by 2 musculoskeletal radiologists on 2 occasions. According to th...

The loss of full muscle activation contributes to weakness of the quadriceps muscle in patients with deficiency of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). We examined whether a deficit of voluntary activation (VA) of the quadriceps muscle can be reversed by reconstruction of the ACL and assessed its influence on muscle strength and clinical parameters. We evaluated 12 male subjects with an isolat...

Introduction: Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) tear is the most common ligamentous injury to the knee joint. Two most commonly used grafts for reconstruction are Quadruple Hamstring tendons (QHT) and Bone Patellar Tendon Bone (BPTB) graft. Graft fixation techniques vary with different surgeons. Aim of this study was to compare the clinical outcome of reconstruction of ACL using QHT and BPTB gra...
