Global varus malalignment increase from double-leg to single-leg stance due to intra-articular changes.
Preoperatively planned correction for tibial osteotomy surgery is usually based on weightbearing long-leg Xrays, while the surgery is performed in a supine non-weightbearing position. The purpose of this study was to assess the differences in lower limb alignment in three different weightbearing conditions: supine position, double-leg (DL) stance and single-sleg (SL) stance prior to performing a medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy (MOWHTO) for varus malalignment. The hypothesis of this study was that progressive limb-loading would lead to an increased preoperative varus deformity. ⋯ III, retrospective comparative study.

An accelerated 6-week return to full weight bearing after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation results in good clinical outcomes to 5 years post-surgery.
To investigate the mid-term outcomes of an accelerated return to full weight bearing (WB) after matrix-induced autologous chondrocyte implantation (MACI). ⋯ II.

Anterior rotator cable disruption does not affect outcomes in rotator cuff tear with subscapularis involvement.
The purpose of this study was to compare clinical and radiological outcomes after arthroscopic repair of two different rotator cuff tear configurations: anterosuperior rotator cuff tear and rotator cuff tears with subscapularis involvement. It was hypothesized that, although both tear configurations would show significant improvement in clinical outcomes after arthroscopic repair, the rotator cuff tears with subscapularis involvement where the anterior rotator cable maintains its integrity would have better clinical outcomes and structural integrity. ⋯ Level III.

Steep posterior slope and shallow concave shape of the medial tibial plateau are risk factors for medial meniscus posterior root tears.
Bone morphological factors are important for menisci. Their association with medial meniscus posterior root tears, however, has not yet been studied. This study aimed to compare sagittal medial tibial slope and medial tibial plateau depth between knees with and without medial meniscus posterior root tears. ⋯ Level III: Case-control study.
