Background Previous approaches for medial collateral ligament (MCL) reconstruction have been associated with extensive exposure, risk of donor site morbidity with autografts, loss of motion, nonanatomic graft placement, and technical complexity with double-bundle constructs. Therefore, we implemented a technique that uses Achilles allograft, small incisions, and anatomic insertions to reconstru...

OBJECTIVE To analyze the incidence of ACL and meniscal injuries in a population of recreational and elite athletes from Brazil and the relation of these injuries with their sports activities. METHODS This was a prospective observational study of 240 patients with ACL and/or meniscal injuries submitted to surgical treatment. Data of patients and sport modality, as well as Tegner score were reg...

Objectives: To identify synovial fluid biomarkers associated with midterm postoperative outcomes in patients undergoing arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). Methods: Subjects were prospectively enrolled a cohort of who had aspirated from their knee on the day surgery prior to APM. Biomarker analysis was performed. Preoperative patient-reported outcome (PRO) scores including VAS pain, Lyshol...

ABSTRACT Introduction: The knee joint is a complex and important in the human body. It plays an active role maintaining posture balance of body sports, allowing one to bear larger load complete various technical movements. Objective: To investigate stability influence kinemechanics rehabilitation training. Methods: A total 80 patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury who received treatmen...

Introduction: The relatively low return to sport rate (~50%) after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is well-established – not everyone recovers completely. Over one-third of people report ongoing symptoms at 2-6 years post-ACLR. Sport and physical activity participation in young adults with ACLR known, but may impact general health outcomes (e.g., weight gain, co-morbidities). T...

The purpose of this study is to (1) report the long-term clinical and radiographic outcomes of a nonanatomical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using an over-the-top (OTT) femoral route and (2) compare single-strand (1SHG) and double-strand (2SHG) hamstrings graft reconstruction. Fifty-one consecutive patients (mean age, 29.2±3.8 years) underwent nonanatomical ACL reconstruction ...

PURPOSE this study was conducted to evaluate subjective and objective clinical outcomes of partial reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in comparison with complete ACL reconstruction. METHODS three groups, each comprising 20 patients, were evaluated at a minimum follow-up of 12 months. The group 1 patients underwent partial ACL reconstruction, while those in group 2 and grou...

Objectives: Collagen Meniscus Implant (CMI) is considered an effective procedure for reducing knee pain and improving function after previous meniscectomy. Nevertheless, the current knowledge regarding clinical results of CMI are limited to small case series at short- mid-term follow-up studies. The goal present study was evaluate outcomes, reoperations, failures a minimum 10 years follow-up. M...
