    Abstract Control of anterolateral knee laxity has always been a major goal of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The recent focus on the anatomy of the anterolateral knee and new studies demonstrating decreased graft failure risk with the additional of lateral procedures to intra-articular ACL reconstruction have given these procedures new relevance. A key question that drives indications is which patients benefit the most from these procedures. Those patients with increased rotational knee laxity, particularly in the absence of a repairable meniscus injury, may be good candidates. ACL injury chronicity, bony anatomy, concomitant anterolateral injury, and other factors all contribute to increased anterolateral knee laxity. This high laxity population is ideal for evaluation of the effectiveness of new methods to control knee laxity and improve outcomes of isolated intra-articular ACL reconstruction.

    Abstract Numerous anatomic factors have been shown to contribute to patellar instability. Patellar height remains a critical, yet underappreciated contributor to instability that is amenable to surgical correction through the performance of a tibial tubercle distalization osteotomy (TTDO). The indications for a distalizing tibial tubercle osteotomy are not completely clear and depend on multiple factors. One must consider patient factors and physical examination findings in addition to radiographic measures. In general, the addition of a TTDO to medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction should be considered when the degree of patella alta exceeds a Caton-Deschamps Index (CDI) of 1.4. The presence of trochlear dysplasia, patellar maltracking (J-sign), lateral patellar apprehension that persists at higher flexion angles, and decreased patellotrochlear articular cartilage contact on sagittal magnetic resonance imaging may drive the decision to proceed with distalization when the CDI is lower. Complications of distalization osteotomies are frequent and careful attention to surgical technique is critical to obtain good outcomes.

    Abstract Objectives: To analyze the effect of patellofemoral anatomical variations (patella alta, increased tibial tubercle-trochlear groove [TT-TG] distance, and trochlear dysplasia) on clinical outcomes after isolated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction.
    Methods: A comprehensive search from PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library databases was conducted to identify studies that compared outcomes based on the presence or absence of patella alta, elevated tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, and/or trochlear dysplasia. Exclusion criteria included reviews and meta-analyses, studies that included patients who underwent associated bony procedures, and those reporting outcomes after isolated MPFL reconstruction with no comparison between varying anatomical groups.
    Results: After application of selection criteria, 19 studies were included. Patella alta was not predictive of failure or poorer outcomes among 13 studies; however, 2 studies demonstrated poorer patient-reported outcome scores and/or higher failure rates with increasing patellar height. Increasing TT-TG distance demonstrated a statistically significant correlation with poorer outcomes in only one study, whereas 12 other studies showed no association. Trochlear dysplasia resulted in worse outcomes and greater failure rates in 6 studies, while 10 studies showed no statistically significant correlation between trochlear dysplasia and postoperative outcomes.
    Conclusion: Patella alta and increased TT-TG distance did not adversely affect outcomes following isolated MPFL reconstruction in the preponderance of reviewed studies. Data are mixed regarding the impact of trochlear dysplasia on the outcomes of isolated MPFL reconstruction.

    Abstract Hybrid anterior cruciate ligament grafts augmenting a small-diameter hamstring tendon autograft with nonirradiated allografts can be used with good results in adults. In teens, however, outcomes of hybrid grafts have not been well defined, and other solutions to small hamstring grafts including graft folding, contralateral autograft augmentation, or selection of a different autograft source could be considered.

    Abstract Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is an increasingly common procedure, with 2-stage surgery often required to address large bone defects and malpositioned tunnels. The arthroscopic bone grafting technique described herein uses morselized allograft bone to provide reproducible fill of asymmetrical bone defects without autograft harvest or additional loss of native bone. The second stage of the anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction can typically proceed 6 months following bone grafting.

    Abstract: Objectives: To assess the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the classification of the J-sign as "large" versus "small or none" as compared to another two-level system ("present" versus "absent") and a three-level system ("large," "small," or "none") ...

    Abstract Objectives: To assess the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the classification of the J-sign as "large" versus "small or none" as compared to another two-level system ("present" versus "absent") and a three-level system ("large," "small," or "none") and to identify anatomical and patient factors associated with the presence of a large J-sign.
    Methods: Forty patients (40 knees) with recurrent patellar instability were prospectively enrolled and recorded on video actively extending their knee while seating. Four raters classified patellar tracking on two separate occasions using three systems: 1) two groups: J-sign versus no J-sign; 2) three groups: large J-sign, small J-sign, or no J-sign; and 3) two groups: large J-sign versus small or no J-sign. The intra- and inter-rater reliability of each system was assessed using kappa statistics. Anatomical (trochlear dysplasia, tibial tubercle-trochlear groove (TT-TG) distance, patellar height) and patient (Beighton score) factors as well as Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (KOOS) subscales were compared between patients with a large J-sign and patients with a small or no J-sign.
    Results: Inter- and intra-rater reliability were found to be highest with the two-level classification system of a large J-sign versus a small or no J-sign (inter-rater kappa ​= ​0.76, intra-rater kappa ​= ​0.75). Patients with a large J-sign had more severe trochlear dysplasia as assessed with the sulcus angle (p ​= ​0.042) and were more likely to have a tight lateral retinaculum (p ​= ​0.032) and an elevated Beighton score (p ​= ​0.009). No significant differences in KOOS subscales were noted based on the presence of a large J-sign versus a small J-sign or no J-sign.
    Conclusion: Qualitative visual assessment of patellar tracking with the J-sign demonstrates substantial inter- and intra-rater reliability, particularly when utilizing a two-group classification system to identify knees with a large J-sign. Patients with a large J-sign demonstrate an increased incidence of a tight lateral retinaculum, generalized ligamentous laxity, and trochlear dysplasia.

    Abstract » Accounting for up to 24% of all meniscus tears, horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs) are a common pathology orthopaedic practitioners should be comfortable managing.» Historically, HCTs were treated with partial meniscectomy; however, recent studies have demonstrated that these procedures have an adverse biomechanical effect, while HCT repairs restore the knee's natural biomechanics.» Indications for the surgical repair of HCTs remain disputed, but surgery is generally considered for young, active patients and older patients without significant concomitant osteoarthritis.» Early clinical findings surrounding HCT repair are promising. They suggest that this treatment adequately restores meniscus mechanics, leads to good knee functional outcomes, and results in a high likelihood of return to preinjury activity levels.

    Abstract We sought to assess the current literature to present a comprehensive summary of the incidence, common pathogens, and risk factors for infection after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, and Scopus databases were searched for relevant studies reporting on infection after ACL reconstruction. Two reviewers independently screened the extracted studies for adherence to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Studies were selected if they reported on the incidence of infection, pathogens cultured from infected knees, or risk factors for infection after primary ACL reconstruction. Exclusion criteria consisted of studies with fewer than 100 patients or studies that included revision ACL reconstruction. Fifty studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria, reporting on a total of 316,214 ACL reconstructions. Included studies evaluated between 123 and 104,255 patients. The overall incidence of infection was 0.60% (0.15-2.44%). The most common pathogens were
