Does age predict outcome after multiligament knee reconstruction for the dislocated knee? 2- to 22-year follow-up.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether age is a predictor of clinical and functional outcomes in patients who sustained a knee dislocation (KD) and underwent multiligament knee reconstruction. It was hypothesized that increasing age will negatively affect patient outcome. ⋯ IV.

Arthroscopic reconstruction of the popliteus complex: accuracy and reproducibility of a new surgical technique.
With combined PCL reconstruction and a minimal invasive (extra-anatomical) Larson's procedure, dorsal instability can be reduced by about 50-70 %. Better results are described by open and more anatomical procedures. In this study, a new, standardized, arthroscopic technique for anatomical popliteus tendon (PLT) reconstruction is evaluated. ⋯ III.

Traumatic posterior root tear of the medial meniscus in patients with severe medial instability of the knee.
To examine the incidence and diagnostic rate of traumatic medial meniscus posterior root tear associated with severe medial instability and to evaluate the effectiveness of pullout repair. ⋯ Case series with no comparison group, Level IV.

Intraoperative laxity measurements using a navigation system in anatomical double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction.
The objective of this study was to evaluate knee kinematics during double-bundle posterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (DB-PCLR) intraoperatively using a navigation system, and especially assess biomechanical behaviour of the anterolateral bundle (ALB) and posteromedial bundle (PMB) graft in DB-PCLR. Also, clinical results of minimum 2-year follow-up were investigated. ⋯ Therapeutic study, Level III.

Are meniscal tears and articular cartilage injury predictive of inferior patient outcome after surgical reconstruction for the dislocated knee?
A paucity of data exists on the effects of articular cartilage and meniscal injury in the setting of knee dislocations. The purpose of this study is to determine whether concomitant intra-articular injuries at the time of multiligament reconstruction for knee dislocation are associated with inferior outcomes. ⋯ IV.
