Comprehensive Medial Knee Four-Arm Reconstruction to Address Complex Instability With Hamstring Autograft. [PDF]
Abstract Medial knee ligament injuries are increasingly recognized as complex, multiplanar lesions, resulting not only in simple medial instability but also anteromedial rotatory instability, anteromedial instability, posteromedial instability, posteromedial rotatory instability, and post‐traumatic medial asymmetric hyperextension.

Effects of visibility and types of the ground surface on the muscle activities of the vastus medialis oblique and vastus lateralis. [PDF]
[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of visibility and types of ground surface (stable and unstable) during the performance of squats on the muscle activities of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL). [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 25 healthy adults in their 20s. They performed squats under four

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

SMOC approach for total knee arthroplasty in valgus knees
Objective This study was performed to compare clinical outcomes among patients with valgus knees undergoing total knee arthroplasty via the medial parapatellar approach and the subvastus with minimal oblique cut approach. Methods A total of 232 patients (

Patellar Tendon Revision Reconstruction Using Transosseous Patella All-Suture Anchors, Semitendinosus Autograft, and Achilles Allograft. [PDF]
Abstract Patellar tendon rupture is an uncommon but highly treatable injury, with excellent repair outcomes and low reoperation rates. Chronic patellar tendon ruptures or repair failures pose a clinical challenge, but the success rates of reconstruction with extensor mechanism allograft or autograft are reported to be high in the literature. Still, the

Hip position and sex differences in motor unit firing patterns of the vastus medialis and vastus medialis oblique in healthy individuals [PDF]
Weakness of the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) has been proposed to explain the high prevalence of knee pain in female subjects. Clinicians commonly use exercises in an attempt to preferentially activate the VMO. Recently, our group found evidence to support clinical theory that the VMO is neurologically distinct from the vastus medialis (VM). However,

Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction Using Double Limbed Rectus Femoris Autograft. [PDF]
Abstract Medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction is routinely performed when conservative treatment fails and patients present with recurrent patellar dislocations. Most described techniques require fixation or some type of bony procedure on the patella.
