The Current State of Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Graft Selection, Lateral Augmentation, Rehabilitation, and Return-to-Play

Abstract Purpose of Review Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) reliably restores anteroposterior stability; however, the rate of return to prior level of play and incidence of recurrent ACL injury have improved little over the past two decades. The purpose of this re...

Patellar Tendon‐Lateral Trochlear Ridge Distance Is More Specific Than Tibial Tubercle‐Trochlear Groove for Patellofemoral Instability

PURPOSE: To assess the reliability, predictability, and discriminative capacity of 3 anatomic measurements, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG), tibial tubercle-posterior cruciate ligament, and patellar tendon-lateral trochlear ridge (PT-LTR), where PT-LTR may offer a comple...

Approximately 30% of Patients Undergoing Knee Cartilage Biopsy Subsequently Undergo Matrix‐Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation at a Mean 4.3‐Year Follow‐Up

Purpose To evaluate implantation rates, time to implantation, and predictors of implantation following matrix‐induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI) biopsy for knee chondral defects. Methods Patients undergoing MACI biopsy or implantation for symptomatic knee chondral...
