Combined Posterior Cruciate Ligament and Superficial Medial Collateral Ligament Knee Reconstruction: Avoiding Tunnel Convergence. [PDF]
Combined posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) and medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries represent a complex pathology that requires a thorough clinical and radiographic examination to diagnose and identify all injured structures. Anatomic reconstruction

Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament Repair With Suture Augmentation Provides Good to Excellent Midterm Functional Outcomes Despite Clinically Relevant Revision Rates. [PDF]
Purpose To evaluate midterm functional outcomes after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair with suture augmentation and to determine whether concomitant injuries influence patient‐reported outcomes. Methods This retrospective single‐center cohort study included patients undergoing arthroscopic ACL repair with suture augmentation between January 2017

Semimembranosus Autograft Harvesting and Reconstruction for Knee Posteromedial Complex Laxity Using a "Romal Reins" Technique. [PDF]
Abstract This technical report presents semimembranosus tendon harvest and its use as an autograft in knee ligament reconstruction. The distal semimembranosus tendon is a robust and long tendon, which makes it a suitable autograft option with its distal insertions kept intact.

Transosseous Equivalent Meniscus Allograft Transplantation Using an All-Suture-Based Anchor Technique. [PDF]
Abstract Meniscal allograft transplantation is a surgical solution for symptomatic meniscal deficiency aimed at restoring native knee biomechanics and tibiofemoral contact pressures with the goal of slowing the progression of osteoarthritis. Anatomic fixation of the meniscal root is essential to a successful outcome as this normalizes native ...

Arthroscopic Medial Compartment Drive-Through Sign for Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Complex Injuries [PDF]
Acute injuries of the knee medial collateral ligament complex concomitant with anterior cruciate ligament injuries are common. The exact site of the injury may be difficult to diagnose preoperatively on magnetic resonance imaging. This study describes an

Knotless Suture-Bridge Technique for All-Arthroscopic Repair of Proximal Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Injuries. [PDF]
This article describes an all‐arthroscopic knotless suture‐bridge technique for medial collateral ligament repair. Its key steps involve placing a medial row anchor and a lateral row anchor, connected via sutures passed through the torn ligament, thereby

Arthroscopic Continuous Anterior Cruciate Ligament‐Medial Collateral Ligament Reconstruction Using a Single Rectus Femoris Autograft With Posterior Oblique Ligament Reconstruction: A Technical Note [PDF]
Abstract Multiligament knee injuries are challenging to manage and often require harvesting multiple grafts. Rectus femoris tendon autograft provides predictable length and diameter, making it a promising option for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction and combined procedures. In this technical note, we describe an arthroscopic technique for

Percutaneous Medial Collateral Ligament Repair and Posteromedial Corner Repair With Suture Tape Augmentation [PDF]
The medial collateral ligament (MCL) is among the most commonly injured structures of the knee. Most cases are managed nonoperatively; however, grade III injuries and injuries associated with multiligament injuries to the knee are often managed ...

Strain measurement at the knee ligament insertion sites [PDF]
We describe the modification of an existing method of ligament strain measurement at the knee joint in detail. At ten fresh joint specimens we used that technique where strain gauges are attached to the ligamentous insertions and origins.
