Soft Tissue Quadriceps Tendon Autograft Harvest Technique With Determination of Proper Graft Length for Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction Open
The quadriceps tendon has been shown to be a reliable and versatile graft choice for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction. Although reconstruction with quadriceps graft allows for several advantages, excellent outcomes, and choice of …
Comparison of Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes in Obese Patients Following Surgical Treatment of Peritrochanteric Fragility Fractures Open
Introduction The rising prevalence of obesity across all age groups in the U.S. poses increasing challenges to healthcare. Older adults with hip fractures are already medically vulnerable, and obesity compounds issues during preoperative o…

Your Patella Dislocated: Will It Happen Again? Key Magnetic Resonance Imaging Differences Between Patients With Multiple Patellar Dislocations and Patients With a One-Time Patellar Dislocation Open
Background: Identifying anatomic risk factors for recurrent patellar dislocations can help guide clinical decision making and counseling on operative management for patients at the time of the initial dislocation. Purpose: To determine if …

The role of the sulcus angle in patellar dislocation: The importance of measuring four magnetic resonance imaging axial levels and utilising corresponding cutoff values Open
Purpose The primary purpose was to assess sulcus angle (SA) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measurements and determine diagnostic cutoff values along four axial levels on cartilaginous and osseous surfaces comparing those with patellar di…
Stiffness and Instability After MPFL Reconstruction Using a Fluoroscopic Versus Open Technique to Localize the Femoral Attachment Site: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis Open
Background: Open and fluoroscopic techniques have been described for localization of the femoral attachment site in medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction. No study to date has evaluated if one technique is superior to anothe…
Chondromalacia patellae: Cartilaginous lesions of the patella in the setting of anterior knee pain Open
Introduction: Chondromalacia patellae (CP) is common among patients with anterior knee pain (AKP), characterized by softening and deterioration of the patellar cartilage. Although the exact etiology is unknown, risk factors include lower e…
Relationship Between Patellar Morphology and Known Anatomic Risk Factors for Patellofemoral Instability Open
Background: Patellar instability (PI) is a common problem among pediatric, adolescent, and young adult patients. Recent literature has shown a correlation between pathoanatomy and PI. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to de…
The Original Mini-Open Technique for Repair of Humeral Avulsion of the Glenohumeral Ligament Open
Anterior shoulder dislocations commonly occur in the young, athletic population. The mechanism of dislocation occurs when the shoulder is placed in an abducted, externally rotated position while a forceful anterior moment is applied to the…
Use of a Superolateral Portal and 70° Arthroscope to Optimize Visualization of Patellofemoral Tracking and Osteochondral Lesions in Patients With Recurrent Patellar Instability Open
Surgical treatment of patellofemoral instability and associated cartilaginous lesions can be technically challenging. Visualization of patellar tracking and underlying osteochondral lesions is paramount to operative success. To treat these…
Demographics and Epidemiology of Discoid Menisci of the Knee: Analysis of a Large Regional Insurance Database Open
Background: A discoid meniscus is a morphological variant of normal knee joint meniscus shape and ultrastructure that can lead to traumatic tearing of this tissue and early joint osteoarthritis. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this stud…
Is there value in the routine practice of discarding the incision scalpel from the surgical field to prevent deep wound contamination with Cutibacterium acnes? Open
The presence of C acnes on the skin blade in 2 patients validates concerns that there is C acnes present in dermal tissue despite extensive attention to eradication of these microbes. There was a high rate of C acnes contamination on scalp…
When to Abandon the Arthroscopic Bankart Repair: A Systematic Review Open
Context: Bone loss is a major factor in determining surgical choice in patients with anterior glenohumeral instability. Although bone loss has been described, there is no consensus on glenoid, humeral head, and bipolar bone loss limits for…
Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Reconstruction and Lateral Retinacular Lengthening in the Skeletally Immature Patient Open
Patellar instability remains a ubiquitous and troublesome problem in orthopaedics and represents a challenge in the pediatric population. Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) has become a mainstay of patellar instabi…
