Combined injury of the anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) and the medial collateral ligament (MCL) is a common
injury pattern and accounts for 20% of all ligamentous knee
injuries. Despite advancements in surgical technique, there is no
up-to-date consensus regarding the superiority of nonoperative
versus operative...
Preoperative risk factors contributing to
poor outcomes after arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM) have
not yet been consolidated and codified into an index scoring system
used to predict APM success.
In conclusion, using this model, the authors
developed an index score that, using preoperative factors,
can...
Injecting bioactive substances into the knee
is common in orthopaedic practice, and recently it has been shown
to mitigate risk factors for posttraumatic osteoarthritis.
Therefore, understanding the influence of these injections on
postoperative infection rate is imperative.
The bone–patellar tendon–bone (BTB) autograft
is associated with difficulty with kneeling after anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) reconstruction; however, it is unclear whether it
results in a more painful or symptomatic knee compared with the
hamstring tendon autograft.
Arthrofibrosis (AF) after anterior cruciate
ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains a challenge. There is a
paucity of data on arthroscopic interventions for AF after
ACLR.
In conclusion, an arthroscopic intervention
for AF after ACLR successfully improved knee ROM and pain. Patients
who underwent either early or late...
