Objective: To determine if lubricin was present in the surface layer of repair cartilage formed after autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI). Design: Forty-three biopsies of repair tissue were taken from patients who had been treated with ACI 8 to 68 months previously (mean of 18.0 ± 14.4 months); 30 had flaps of periosteum and 13 of Chondro-Gide. Cryopreserved sections were stained with hem...

PURPOSE The goal of this study was to evaluate the clinical outcome of single-bundle posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction with retention of the PCL remnant and hamstring tendon autograft with interference screw fixation in patients with isolated PCL laxity. TYPE OF STUDY Prospective case series with minimum 2-year follow-up evaluation. METHODS Thirty-one patients for whom conser...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to compare clinical outcomes after single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with a free Achilles tendon allograft using either a transtibial or an anteromedial portal technique and then to quantify the difference in femoral tunnel position between these 2 approaches. This assessment was to be performed with a new method using convention...

PURPOSE This study was performed to compare the minimal 2-year outcome of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction using bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) allografts versus autografts, both augmented with an iliotibial band tenodesis. TYPE OF STUDY Retrospective review. METHODS Forty-six of 52 BPTB ACL reconstructions using allografts and 33 of 37 BPTB ACL reconstructions using autogr...

OBJECTIVE To provide guidance in the selection of the appropriate patient for arthroscopic debridement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety patients who were diagnosed with gonarthrosis according to modified American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria and who underwent arthroscopic debridement and meniscectomy were evaluated. Functional assessment of patients was made based on preoperative as we...

BACKGROUND Autologous chondrocyte implantation is indicated as a second-line treatment of large, irregularly shaped chondral defects after failure of first-line surgical intervention. This study examines the clinical results of a patient cohort undergoing autologous chondrocyte implantation and elucidates factors associated with subjective improvement after implantation. HYPOTHESIS Autologous...
