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. […]

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 […]

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 […]
What Nonoperative Approaches for Knee OA Do You Use in Recreational vs Advanced Athletes?
Nonoperative approaches for any patient with OA depends upon a stepwise approach, which often depends upon the degree of arthritis, its location, the patient’s range of knee motion and the […]

Recurrent patellar dislocations are correlated with an elevated risk for further patellar dislocations. Chronic patellar instability is a disabling issue for some patients and may require surgical intervention for proper treatment. […]
