In this video, Dr. Robert LaPrade, MD, PhD, demonstrates how to correctly perform a Proximal Tibiofibular Taping.
Use the white tape as a guide for proper placement.
The next tape uses tension to achieve the correct taping technique.
Once the tape is secure, the patient will be asked to perform a normally painful movement, […]

Decreased posterior tibial slope has been associated with increased risk of graft failure and knee instability after posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction. Premature physeal arrest at the tibial tubercle is a common cause of osseous genu recurvatum. […]

Posterior medial meniscus root tears (PMMRTs) make up a relatively notable proportion of all meniscus pathology […]

Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) failure is multifactorial, but it is known that increased posterior tibial slope (PTS) leads to a greater likelihood of ACLR failure. This technical note describes the senior author’s technique for performing […]
The femoral condyles are located on the end of the thigh bone, or the femur. They are covered by articular cartilage and function as a shock absorber for the knee.
Damage to the cartilage on the end of the bone is known as arthritis. This could also be described as “chondromalacia” […]

Like many areas of medicine, the role of arthroscopy is evolving and its use must be guided by critical analysis of the […]

A bipartite patella usually presents as an incidentalfinding on radiographs because most cases are asymp-tomatic. However, some patients may present with pain and functional limitations. Conservative treatment is sufficient toresolve symptoms in most […]

Patients with multi-ligament knee injuries require a thorough examination (Lachman, posterior-drawer, varus, valgus, and rotational testing). Diagnoses are confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging as well as stress radiographs (posterior, varus, and valgus) when indicated. Multiple systematic reviews have reported that […]
