Microfracture for full‐thickness chondral lesions of the knee in elite athletes leads to high return‐to‐play rates

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Injuries to the knee are common in elite athletes and often involve damage to the articular cartilage. Given the high demands of elite sport, full‐thickness articular cartilage defects in the knee can be career‐limiting or threatening.

Preoperative knee laxity is not associated with subjective knee function or revision surgery after primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction: An analysis of 5425 patients

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose To determine whether preoperative knee laxity, as measured by the KT‐1000 arthrometer, was associated with subjective knee function preoperatively and at 1, 2 and 5 years, or with revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) within 5 years of the primary surgery.

Step‐by‐step insight into gait analysis: A narrative review unlocking knee biomechanics

open access: yesKnee Surgery, Sports Traumatology, Arthroscopy, EarlyView.
Abstract Gait analysis offers a powerful tool for clinical and orthopaedic decision‐making. By quantifying spatiotemporal, kinematic and kinetic parameters during walking, it provides a dynamic window into joint function that static imaging cannot capture.
