Multiligament knee injuries (MLKIs) are severe injuries that involve complete or partial tear to multiple ligaments of the knee, such as the cruciate ligaments, collateral ligaments, as well as structures such as the posteromedial and posterolateral corners. […]
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 […]

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are enzymes that are elevated during states of inflammation and have specifically been linked to cartilage, tendon and bone pathologies. Concentrations of these enzymes fluctuate naturally […]
Outcomes after sports-related multiple-ligament knee reconstructions are limited.
To evaluate outcomes after single-stage surgical treatment of sports-related multiple-ligament knee injuries and to compare outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL)–based and posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)–based multiple-ligament knee reconstructions.
Case series; Level of evidence, 4.
Skeletally mature patients with at least 2 major knee ligaments torn during a […]
Snapping syndromes are caused by 2 adjacent anatomic structures having a frictional catching, which may be associated with an audible pop. At the knee, they may have an intra- or extra-articular origin. It is imperative to understand the etiology of the snapping to avoid unnecessary surgery.
Snapping symptoms affect the lateral aspect of […]
It is becoming increasingly recognized that isolated lateral collateral ligament (LCL) tears are more common than have been previously recognized and that anatomic-based LCL reconstructions have the best outcomes. Although it was believed that posterolateral corner injuries were often missed or mistreated and were given the pneumonic […]
Blood flow restriction (BFR) therapy is becoming increasingly popular in musculoskeletal injury rehabilitation. In particular, this form of therapy is being utilized more often in the postoperative setting following knee surgery, including anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. BFR therapy provides patients and clinicians an alternative treatment option to […]
Chronic patellar instability after a primary dislocation event is common, and reasons for recurrent dislocations are multifactorial . Risk factors include trochlear dysplasia, insufficiencies in the medial stabilizing retinacular structures, increased tibial tubercle-to-trochlear groove (TT- TG) distance, and patella alta. Trochlear dysplasia reportedly is present in 85% of patients […]
