Background
The incidence of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is increasing, and quadriceps tendon (QT) autograft is gaining popularity for both primary and revision ACL reconstruction.
Purpose
To evaluate the differences in the patient-reported functional outcomes, concomitant injuries, and graft failure in primary versus revision A...
Meniscus tears are common in patients with primary or revision anterior cruciate ligament injuries. Given their important mechanical role in the joint, efforts are being made to repair as much of the meniscus tear as possible. However, all-inside repair might be challenging in case of an unstable tear due to the dislocation of the meniscal flap aft...
Purpose
Unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is an established option for treating isolated unicompartmental knee osteoarthritis (OA), but controversies still exist about patient selection, indications, perioperative management and alignment goals.

The purpose of the study was to provide a detailed descri...
Management of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears has continuously evolved since its first description in approximately 170 A.D. by Claudius Galenus of Pergamum and Rome. The initial immobilization using casts was replaced by a variety of surgical and conservative approaches over the past centuries. The first successful case of ACL repair was co...

To analyze the pattern of injury, return to play (RTP), and performance of a consecutive series of elite professional soccer players after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR).
Study Design
Case series; Level o...
Isolated posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) ruptures are relatively rare, but they more commonly occur in multiligament knee injuries. To date, in isolated or combined injuries with grade III step-off, surgical treatment is recommended to restore joint stability and improve knee function. Several techniques for PCL reconstruction have been described...

According to the PRISMA guidelines a comprehensive se...
Anterior knee pain (AKP) is one of the most common conditions to bring active young patients to a sports injury clinic. It is a heterogeneous condition related to multiple causative factors. Compared to the general population, there appears to be a higher risk of development of patellofemoral osteoarthritis in patients with AKP. AKP can be detrimen...
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), also known as familiar osteochondromatosis or diaphyseal aclasis, are an autosomal dominant inherited genetic pathology that is characterized by the presence of multiple benign osteochondromas. Knee deformity is common in patients with HME, with nearly a third of patients developing genu valgus. Total knee arthr...

Introduction: Hereditary multiple exostoses (MHE), also known as familiar osteochondromatosis or diaphyseal aclasis, is an autosomal dominant inherited genetic pathology that is characterized by the presence of multiple benign osteochondromas (exostoses). Knee deformity is common in patients with HME, with nearly a third of patients developing genu...
Background
Knee stiffness after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) often leads to pain and discomfort, failing to meet patients’ expectations on the surgical procedure. Despite the growing debate on the topic, a comprehensive literature analysis of stiffness causes has never been conducted. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to systematically re...
Total knee arthroplasty in valgus knee deformities continues to be a challenge for a surgeon. Approximately 10% of patients who undergo total knee arthroplasty have a valgus deformity. While performing total knee arthroplasty in a severe valgus knee, one should aware with the technical aspects of surgical exposure, bone cuts of the distal femur and...
Osteotomy around the knee is an effective surgical procedure for active, physiologically young patients with symptomatic unicompartmental osteoarthritis (OA) and malalignment. It restores the correct lower limb mechanical alignment, redistributing weight-bearing from a damaged joint surface area to an undamaged one. Hence, it consistently provides...
Background
Genu valgum is a common deformity in the developing world. When the patient presents after a second growth spurt, corrective surgery remains the only treatment option. Different types of osteotomies and fixation methods have been described in the literature, but the choice of the method remains debatable. We evaluated the outcome of the...
Background
Many orthopedic procedures require skin marking well before surgery. Marks made with most conventional marking pens fade with vigorous skin preparation required before orthopedic procedures, whereas marks with henna may safely last almost up to three weeks. Thereby, we intend to describe applications of henna, a readily available, cost-e...
