Grit is the disposition to strive for
long-term goals despite setbacks and challenges. Given the lengthy,
arduous process of rehabilitation after anterior cruciate ligament
reconstruction (ACLR), an athlete's grit may predict postoperative
outcomes across time.
In conclusion, athletes with higher baseline
grit...
Lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) is
being performed more frequently with anterior cruciate ligament
(ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) to decrease graft failure rates. The
posterior tibial slope (PTS) affects ACL graft failure rates. The
effect of ACLR + LET on tibial motion and graft forces with
increasing PTS has not...
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) has been used
extensively in clinical practice to treat patients with symptomatic
knee osteoarthritis (OA). Leukocyte-poor PRP (LP-PRP) has been
clinically preferred over leukocyte-rich PRP (LR-PRP); however, it
is unclear which cytokine mediators of pain and inflammation are
present in...
Medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC)
reconstruction plays an important role in the surgical treatment of
patellar instability. Anatomic reconstruction is critical in
re-creating the native function of the ligament, which includes
minimizing length changes that occur in early flexion. Anatomic
risk factors for patellar...
Arthroscopic capsulolabral repair for
posterior shoulder instability has been shown to improve
patient-reported outcomes and return to sport at short-term and
midterm follow-up, but long-term outcomes are unknown.
In conclusion, arthroscopic capsulolabral
repair for posterior shoulder instability was a durable...
