Quadriceps tendon autograft has similar clinical outcomes when compared to hamstring tendon and bone–patellar tendon–bone autografts for revision ACL reconstruction: a systematic review and meta-analysis
PurposeResearch regarding revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (RACLR) with quadriceps tendon (QT) autografts is lacking. The purpose...

Influence of Lateral Retinacular Release in Realigning the Patella Between Varus and Valgus Knees in Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty
PurposeOur study aims to find the role of lateral retinacular release (LRR) on realigning the patella in knees with maltracking during primary total...
-
Clinical outcomes and return to sport after single-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction by bone-patellar tendon autograft combined with lateral extra-articular tenodesis
PurposeThe anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) failure rate continues to increase. Involvement of a young population with a desire to...

Combined distal femoral osteotomy and tibial tuberosity distalization is effective in patients presenting with patellar instability and patellofemoral pain due to patella alta and femoral malalignment
IntroductionPatellar malalignment has been considered one of the major pathomechanical causes of patellofemoral instability and pain. The results...

Closing-wedge distal femoral osteotomy combined with medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction for recurrent patellar dislocation with genu valgum
BackgroundMedial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction (MPFLR) is a well-established procedure for addressing recurrent patellar dislocation (RPD)...
-
Intraoperative patellar maltracking and postoperative radiographic patellar malalignment were more frequent in cases of complete medial collateral ligament release in cruciate-retaining total knee arthroplasty
BackgroundPatellar maltracking after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) can lead to significant patellofemoral complications such as anterior knee pain,...

Xenograft bone-patellar tendon-bone ACL reconstruction: a case series at 20-year follow-up as proof of principle
PurposeACL reconstruction has a significant failure rate. To address the need for inexpensive strong tissue, a treatment process to “humanize”...

The J-sign and the body mass index determine the disease-specific quality of life in patients with lateral patellar instability
PurposeTo determine which risk factors for patellar instability contribute most relevantly to patients’ subjective disease-specific quality of life,...
-
Derotational distal femoral osteotomy for patients with recurrent patellar instability and increased femoral antetorsion improves knee function and adequately treats both torsional and valgus malalignment
PurposeThe aim of the study was to evaluate the functional and radiological outcome following derotational distal femoral osteotomy (D-DFO) in...
-
Patellar stabilization surgeries in cases of recurrent patellar instability: a retrospective clinical and radiological audit
BackgroundPatellar instability is a disabling condition that limits the functional ability and physical aspirations of patients. There are multiple...

Patellar component size effects patellar tilt in total knee arthroplasty with patellar resurfacing
PurposePatellar component positioning and patellofemoral kinematics are of great importance in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). The factors influencing...

Comparison of tibial anatomical-mechanical axis angles and patellar positions between tibial plateau levelling osteotomy (TPLO) and modified cranial closing wedge osteotomy (AMA-based CCWO) for the treatment of cranial cruciate ligament disease in large dogs with tibial plateau slopes greater than 30° and clinically normal Labradors retrievers
BackgroundThe objective of this study was to evaluate tibial anatomical-mechanical axis angles (AMA-angles) and proximodistal and craniocaudal...
