To determine the effect of 2 extra-articular reconstructions on pivot-shift rotational stability and tibial internal rotation as a basis for clinical recommendations. ⋯ A low-tension ITB tenodesis has limited clinical utilization as the pivot-shift subluxations are not affected, assuming appropriate tensioning to not overconstrain internal tibial rotation.

Review Comparative Study
Arthroscopic Partial Meniscectomy Versus Physical Therapy for Degenerative Meniscus Lesions: How Robust Is the Current Evidence? A Critical Systematic Review and Qualitative Synthesis.
The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate study quality and risk of bias for randomized trials comparing partial meniscectomy with physical therapy in middle-aged patients with degenerative meniscus tears. ⋯ Level II, systematic review of Level I and II studies.

The purpose of this study is to systematically review the literature to evaluate the reliability, or the ability of a repeated measurement to yield consistent results, and validity of ultrasound (US) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at evaluating anatomy and pathology of the anterolateral ligament of the knee (ALL) in the setting of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries. Furthermore, the incidence and association of ALL injury with the pivot-shift examination, and other structural injuries, will be reviewed for additional clinical relevance. ⋯ Level IV, systematic review of level II-IV studies.
