Injuries to the knee involving multiple ligaments occur in a variety of circumstances and require careful assessment and planning. A wide constellation of injuries can occur with causes sufficiently traumatic to produce bi-cruciate ligament deficiency, and this […]

Recurrent patellar dislocations have been correlated with an elevated risk of further patellar dislocations, often requiring surgical treatment. Risk factors include medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) tears, patella alta, trochlear dysplasia, and […]

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the main focus areas for research and development for furthering the state of meniscus science in 2021.
An electronic survey including 10 questions was sent in a blind fashion to the […]

Lateral meniscus allograft transplantation is performed in predominantly young, active patients and is an option to stabilize the joint in lateral meniscus–deficient patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. The lateral meniscus functions as an important restraint to anterior tibial translation, and meniscal […]

Patellar tendon rupture is an infrequent cause of disability in patients younger than 40 years, with chronic injury and repeat procedures creating difficulty in facilitating healing. Use of hamstring autograft to reinforce the repair has been reported to strengthen the repair construct […]

The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is the largest intra-articular ligament in the knee and is the primary stabilizer to posterior tibial translation. Historically, the PCL’s functional dynamics […]

While the association with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has been established, other risk factors and associated pathologies which occur with a concomitant lateral meniscal posterior root tear (LMPRT) are not well defined. The purpose […]

In this review article, the authors describe the most current knowledge surrounding meniscal root tears with a primary focus on diagnosis, management, and implications for the health of the knee joint. Historically overlooked or treated with meniscectomy, meniscal root […]

In this review, we examine the current understanding of posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries and treatment methods. We discuss the anatomy of the major structures of the PLC and the biomechanics of how these structures function together as a unit. The […]

The purpose of this study was to compare alignment measured on standard anteroposterior (AP) radiographs versus full-length weight-bearing radiographs.
Patients were […]
