Current concepts in isolated and combined injuries of the medial collateral ligament complex, part II: The anteromedial knee instability classification

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract The medial collateral ligament (MCL) has a strong self‐healing capacity; nevertheless, not every MCL injury heals adequately. Persisting medial and anteromedial knee laxity should be avoided as it may lead to increased strains and wear of the surrounding tissue, including the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), meniscus and cartilage.

Mitochondrial respiration and characteristics of skeletal muscles in children with cerebral palsy

open access: yesDevelopmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
Skeletal muscles utilize numerous mitochondria for energy production needed during muscle contraction. Mitochondria produce this energy through the electron transport chain. After an injury such as ACL‐injury in typically developing children, there is a reduction in muscle mitochondrial respiration and content.
