Sex-based disparities in the anterior
cruciate ligament (ACL) injury risk may be partly explained by
cyclic variations in sex hormones that drive systemic shifts in
tissue osmoregulation. Ultrashort echo time (UTE) T2*
magnetic resonance imaging provides a noninvasive, quantitative
means of evaluating the water content...
Long-term studies are emerging reporting
encouraging outcomes after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte
implantation (MACI). While MACI has historically been undertaken
via open arthrotomy, arthroscopic techniques have been reported.
However, longer term clinical outcomes and/or graft survivorship
after...
While coronal malalignment influences
outcomes after medial meniscus posterior root tear (MMPRT) repair,
alignment parameters such as the hip-knee-ankle angle (HKAA) may
not fully capture the biomechanical setting of the medial
compartment. The joint line convergence angle (JLCA) reflects the
intra-articular...
Posterior tibial slope (PTS) is a
well-established anatomic risk factor for anterior cruciate
ligament (ACL) graft failure. Lateral extra-articular tenodesis
(LET) is increasingly used as an adjunctive procedure in high-risk
patients to reduce rerupture rates; however, how its protective
effect varies across the...
Previous literature has demonstrated that an
increased number of preoperative anterior shoulder instability
episodes is associated with recurrent anterior shoulder instability
after arthroscopic Bankart repair (ABR). However, a threshold for
the number of preoperative instability episodes that increases the
risk of...
