Repaired MMPH tears in knees with reconstructed ACLs healed without complications and had satisfactory clinical results. The tear location and type were factors associated with healing on the univariate analysis and location only on the multivariate analysis.

Background The number of primary anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions is increasing rapidly; the number of failing grafts and need for revision surgery have also risen. Hypothesis Revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction will produce similar results to those of primary reconstruction, and there may be different results according to graft materials. Study Design Case control study; Level of evidence, 3. Methods Fifty-nine revision surgeries were performed at 1 institution between

Purpose This study examined, at second‐look arthroscopy, the results of open‐wedge high tibial osteotomy (HTO) focusing on root tear of the medial meniscus posterior horn (RTMMP). Methods Among 31 consecutive patients who underwent HTO without a meniscectomy or pullout repair for RTMMP, 20 patients were available for second‐look arthroscopic evaluation. All patients had medial unicompartmental arthritis. The healing status of the RTMMP was classified as complete, incomplete, and no healing. The

Level IV, systematic review of Level IV studies.

Foot position of ER could show less varus alignment and the reverse could occur in the IR position, compared to the neutral foot position. The severity of varus alignment could be underestimated in the local radiograph, compared with that of whole leg radiograph.

D-dimer showed a more rapid rise and fall than ESR and CRP in very early postoperative period. The D-dimer test might be effective in early detection of PJI, if combined with levels of ESR and CRP. The postoperative change of D-dimer in our study can serve as a baseline for early diagnosis of PJI.

Level III, case-control study.

Level IV, therapeutic study.

The shortest time to RTS and the highest RTS rate were observed after partial meniscectomy. The time to RTS was shorter, and the RTS rate was higher after meniscal repair than after MAT. Concurrent procedures such as ACLR prolonged the time to RTS, but it had no effect on the RTS rate and the level of sports activity at the time of RTS.

Use of the picture-archiving and communications system-photoshop method enables direct measurement of the height of the osteotomy gap with high reliability.
