Comparative Study
Primary Medial Patellofemoral Ligament Repair Versus Reconstruction: Rates and Risk Factors for Instability Recurrence in a Young, Active Patient Population.
To comparatively evaluate the clinical outcomes and rates of recurrent instability in young patients with primary medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) repair or reconstruction, as well as to assess for radiologic risk factors for worse outcomes. ⋯ Level III, retrospective comparative study.

Comparative Study
Comparison of Clinical and Radiologic Outcomes Between Normal and Overcorrected Medial Proximal Tibial Angle Groups After Open-Wedge High Tibial Osteotomy.
To evaluate whether the overcorrected medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) affects the clinical outcomes after open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO) and to assess the correlation between knee joint line obliquity (KJLO) changes and the compensatory changes in the hip and ankle joints. ⋯ Level Ⅲ, retrospective comparative study.

To examine the healing status of meniscal repair performed concomitantly with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with our current indication and surgical procedure based on second-look arthroscopic results. Additionally, the significance of the demographic and clinical factors that can potentially influence the healing rate was statistically assessed. ⋯ Level Ⅳ, therapeutic study, case series.
