Operative management of the medial collateral ligament in the multi-ligament injured knee: an evidence-based systematic review
While it is generally accepted that most partial and isolated medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries can be treated non-operatively, ideal treatment of the MCL in multi-ligament knee injuries remains contro...

Article
A biomechanical comparison of the Delta screw and RetroScrew tibial fixation on initial intra-articular graft tension
The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of bioabsorbable interference screw (BIS) tibial fixation with the Delta screw (antegrade) and RetroScrew (retrograde) on initial (time zero) intra-articula...

Article
Delta screw versus RetroScrew tibial fixation for ACL reconstruction
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the RetroScrew tibial fixation system offers a biomechanical advantage over the Delta screw for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in cadaveric ti...

Article
A simple method of measuring tibial tubercle to trochlear groove distance on MRI: description of a novel and reliable technique
Tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT–TG) distance is a variable that helps guide surgical decision-making in patients with patellar instability. The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy and reliab...

Article
Long-term rate of graft failure after ACL reconstruction: a geographic population cohort analysis
Graft failure following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) is a devastating injury among patients returning to activity. The goals of this study were to define the long-term rate of graft failure...

Article
Long-term follow-up of isolated ACL tears treated without ligament reconstruction
The incidence of subsequent meniscal tears and arthritis among patients with isolated ACL tears treated without ligament reconstruction has not been clearly established. The purpose of this study was to (1) c...

Article
Return to sport: Does excellent 6-month strength and function following ACL reconstruction predict midterm outcomes?
The purpose of this study was to determine whether patients with excellent 6-month functional testing after ACL reconstruction had (1) higher risk of subsequent ACL tears, (2) superior knee function, and (3) i...

Article
The contribution of the tibial tubercle to patellar instability: analysis of tibial tubercle–trochlear groove (TT-TG) and tibial tubercle–posterior cruciate ligament (TT-PCL) distances
The purpose of this study is to assess the reliability of measuring the tibial tubercle to posterior cruciate (TT-PCL) distance compared to the tibial tubercle to trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance on magnetic ...

Article
Partial meniscectomy provides no benefit for symptomatic degenerative medial meniscus posterior root tears
Medial meniscus posterior root tears (MMPRTs) are recognized as a source of pain and dysfunction, but treatment options remain a challenge. The purpose of the study was to determine (1) the efficacy of partial...

Article
High rate of recurrent patellar dislocation in skeletally immature patients: a long-term population-based study
Patellar dislocation can occur in isolation or be associated with chronic instability. The goals of this study are to describe the rate and factors associated with additional patellar instability events (ipsil...

Article
Individualizing the tibial tubercle to trochlear groove distance to patient specific anatomy improves sensitivity for recurrent instability
An initial episode of patellar instability poses a treatment challenge given the absence of a valid, reproducible, and universally applicable predictor of recurrence. Recently, a series of patellar instability...
