Combined anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) and anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR) have demonstrated reduced risk of graft rerupture as compared with isolated ACLR. However, concerns remain that the risk of osteoarthritis (OA) may be increased by the addition of ALLR.

Studies have revealed that vancomycin soaking of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) graft can drastically reduce the incidence of postoperative infections after ACL reconstruction. However, it remains unknown whether the chondrotoxic threshold of vancomycin in synovial fluid is exceeded during this process. Several studies investigated the chondrotoxic properties of vancomycin in in vitro experiments and described a concentration of 1000 µg/mL as the critical threshold.

Overuse ligament and tendon injuries are prevalent among recreational and competitive adolescent athletes. In vitro studies of the ligament and tendon suggest that mechanical overuse musculoskeletal injuries begin with collagen triple-helix unraveling, leading to collagen laxity and matrix damage. However, there are little in vivo data concerning this mechanism or the physiomechanical response to collagen disruption, particularly regarding the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL).

Medial patellofemoral complex (MPFC) reconstruction plays an important role in the surgical treatment of patellar instability. Anatomic reconstruction is critical in re-creating the native function of the ligament, which includes minimizing length changes that occur in early flexion. Anatomic risk factors for patellar instability such as trochlear dysplasia, patella alta, and increased tibial tuberosity to trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance have been shown to influence the function of the MPFC graft in cadaveric studies, but the native length change patterns of the MPFC fibers in knees with anatomic risk factors have not been described.

Low patellofemoral joint (PFJ) contact force has been associated with PFJ osteoarthritis. Quadriceps force and knee flexion angles, which are typically altered after an anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR), primarily influence PFJ contact forces. It is still inconclusive whether differences in PFJ contact forces are present during high knee flexion tasks such as side-step cutting after clearance to return to sports (RTS) after ACLR.

Patellar instability is a common knee pathology in skeletally immature patients. In skeletally mature populations, a tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance of ≥20 mm is generally considered a pathological value. However, as pediatric patients grow and as the TT-TG distance varies with age, applying the same cutoff value as adult patients to them is unreasonable.

In the skeletally immature population, its location relative to the physis has not been well defined.

Return to sport is essential information when an athlete contemplates surgical intervention. Young athletes, <30 years of age, may undergo complex cartilage procedures or femoral/tibial osteotomies to successfully treat single-compartment knee osteoarthritis. Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) may offer an attractive alternative option to middle-aged/older athletes with timely return to the same sport without a lengthy rehabilitation.

Lateral epicondylitis is a chronic tendinopathy of humeral origin of the common extensor tendon. Most patients show improvement after nonoperative treatment. However, 4% to 11% of patients require surgical treatment. Although corticosteroid injection is one of the most commonly applied nonoperative treatment methods, to the authors’ knowledge, no study has reported the effect of the number of preoperative corticosteroid injections on the final postoperative outcome.
