The medial proximal tibial angle accurately corrects the limb alignment in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy.
The purpose of this study was to detect the pre- and intra-operative influential factors for lower limb alignment correction error in open-wedge high tibial osteotomy (OWHTO). ⋯ III Case-control study/Retrospective comparative study.

Reconstruction of the medial patellofemoral ligament and reinforcement of the medial patellotibial ligament is an effective treatment for patellofemoral instability with patella alta.

Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction using quadriceps tendon autograft provides good clinical, functional and patient-reported outcome measurements (PROM): a 2-year prospective study.
The medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) is the most important ligamentous stabilizer preventing lateral patella dislocation. Numerous surgical procedures for MPFL reconstruction have been described in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinical, functional and patient-reported (PROM) outcomes 2 years after minimally invasive MPFL reconstruction performed using an autologous strip of the quadriceps tendon. ⋯ Prospective cohort study, non-randomized, Level IV.

To identify the prognostic factors for 2-year patient-reported outcomes in middle-aged patients with degenerative meniscal tears treated with exercise therapy (ET) or arthroscopic partial meniscectomy (APM). ⋯ II.

Eight respectively nine out of ten patients return to sport and work after distal femoral osteotomy.
Distal femoral osteotomy (DFO) is a well-accepted procedure for the treatment of femoral deformities and associated symptoms including osteoarthritis, especially in younger and physically active patients in whom knee arthroplasty is undesirable. Still, there is an apparent need for evidence on relevant patient outcomes, including return to sport (RTS) and work (RTW), to further justify the use of knee osteotomy instead of surgical alternatives. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the extent and timing of patients' RTS and RTW after DFO. ⋯ Retrospective cohort study, Level III.
