-
To determine the effects of mixing anesthetics or corticosteroids with platelet-rich plasma (PRP) on human tenocytes in vitro. ⋯ Anesthetics or corticosteroids either alone or in combination should be used carefully to preserve the proposed positive effects of PRP in the treatment of tendon injury.
-
To evaluate the long-term radiographic and clinical results of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction by comparing the injured knee with the contralateral knee in athletes with isolated ACL tear returning to preinjury sports. ⋯ Level IV, therapeutic case series.
-
The purpose of this study was to measure the in vivo graft tension in anatomic 2-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction during active leg-raising exercise with the knee immobilized. ⋯ These findings will help to plan postoperative rehabilitation programs with security.

The purpose of this study was to use Web of Knowledge to determine which published arthroscopic surgery-related articles have been cited most frequently by other authors by ranking the 25 most cited articles. We furthermore wished to determine whether there is any difference between a categorical "journal-by-journal" analysis and an "all-database" analysis in arthroscopic surgery and whether such a search methodology would alter the results of previously published lists of "citation classics" in the field. We analyzed the characteristics of these articles to determine what qualities make an article important to this subspecialty of orthopaedic surgery. ⋯ Analysis of the 25 most cited articles allows us to identify the most popular field of research in arthroscopic orthopaedic surgery and gives us insight into the quality and characteristics that are required for an article to become highly cited.
