Revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is being performed at an increasing rate. Previous literature has suggested that autograft ACL reconstruction is a better option than allograft in revision surgery, although the optimal autograft choice remains unknown. The all–soft tissue quadriceps tendon (ASTQT) autograft has been found to be an effective option for primary ACL reconstruction. However, few studies have evaluated ASTQT autograft in revision ACL reconstruction.

The increase in anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries in pediatric patients and the high failure rate reported in the literature in this population are driving surgeons to search for specific techniques to better restore knee stability. Recent literature has reported that the combination of lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) and ACL reconstruction improves outcomes in high-risk patients. However, such advantages in pediatric patients have been infrequently evaluated.

Sports levels, baseline patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), and surgical procedures are correlated with the outcomes of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Machine learning may be superior to conventional statistical methods in making repeatable and accurate predictions.

The term posterior horn lateral meniscal oblique radial tear (LMORT) has emerged to characterize the tear patterns of the lateral meniscus in many patients with acute anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. There is a lack of data regarding the exact incidence according to the types of LMORT and clinical outcomes.

The promising biomechanical stability of bone staples (BSs) in cortical fixation of tendon grafts for medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction has been revealed by a previous investigation. However, it is currently unknown if the biomechanical stability of cortical fixation of tendon grafts depends on the BS design.

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries and bone tunnel enlargement (BTE) after ACL reconstruction (ACLR) remain frequent issues. Bone dust (BD) produced by tunnel preparation with osteogenic ability and reverse drilling (RD), an easy compaction technique, make it accessible to enhance tendon-bone healing in the clinic.

Deficits in calf muscle function and heel-rise performance are common after an Achilles tendon rupture (ATR) and are related to tendon elongation and calf muscle atrophy. Whether early functional mobilization (EFM) can improve calf muscle function compared with standard treatment (ST) with 2 weeks of immobilization and unloading in a plaster cast is unknown.

The glenoid track concept has been widely used to assess the risk of instability due to bipolar bone loss. The glenoid track width was commonly used as 83% of the glenoid width to determine if a lesion was on-track or off-track. However, the value was obtained under static conditions, and it may not be able to reflect the actual mechanism of traumatic dislocation during motion.

Superior capsule reconstruction (SCR) was developed as an alternative treatment for irreparable rotator cuff tears to restore superior stability of the glenohumeral joint. Although fatty infiltration (FI) of the rotator cuff muscles, especially the infraspinatus, has been implicated as a predictor of outcomes and graft integrity after rotator cuff repair, it has not been fully investigated in cases of SCR.

Anatomic repair of a torn rotator cuff tendon on the greater tuberosity (GT) is an important surgical goal in rotator cuff repair. However, few studies have investigated whether the efforts made to maximize coverage of the GT are associated with the clinical and structural outcomes after rotator cuff repair surgery.

A retear after rotator cuff repair is a common problem; however, there is little information related to the prognosis after a retear. In addition, some patients with retears have satisfactory outcomes, which raises the question of whether a retear leads to a poor prognosis.

Distinguishing a complete from a partial distal biceps tendon rupture is essential, as a complete rupture may require repair on short notice to restore function, whereas partial ruptures can be treated nonsurgically in most cases. Reliability of physical examination is crucial to determine the right workup and treatment in patients with a distal biceps tendon rupture.

Autograft choice in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) remains controversial, with increasing interest in the usage of quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft versus traditional hamstring tendon (HT) use. The current study undertakes an in-depth review and comparison of the clinical and functional outcomes of QT and HT autografts in ACLR.

Superior labral anterior and posterior (SLAP) lesions are common injuries in overhead athletes. As a surgical treatment for SLAP lesions, SLAP repair has been traditionally performed. Recently, biceps tenodesis has been performed as an alternative treatment option; however, there is no review for outcome comparisons between these 2 procedures in overhead athletes.
