ReviewClinical outcome after UKA and HTO in ACL deficiency: a systematic review.
In the treatment of medial osteoarthritis secondary to anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury there is no consensus about optimum treatment, with both high tibial osteotomy (HTO) and unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) being viable options. The aim of this review was to compare the outcomes of these treatments, both with or without ACL reconstruction. ⋯ IV.

No difference in anterior knee pain after medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty in patients with or without patellofemoral osteoarthritis.
The purpose of the present study was to compare functional outcomes of medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) in patients with patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PF OA) and those without PF OA and to evaluate the effect of PF OA on functional outcomes after UKA. ⋯ III.

The origin points of the knee collateral ligaments: an MRI study on paediatric patients during growth.
Different femoral origins for both the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and the lateral collateral ligament (LCL) have been reported in the growing skeleton (epiphyseal and metaphyseal). Knowledge about the exact attachment sites is mandatory for anatomically correct reconstruction. This study assesses the femoral origins of the knee collateral ligaments in skeletally immature individuals using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). ⋯ During growth, the femoral origins of the MCL and the LCL are constantly located on the distal femoral epiphysis. There is a linear increase in the distances from the ligaments' origins to the growth plate according to age and body size. This new information may be of clinical importance for reconstructive surgery of the knee's collateral ligaments.

An extended anterolateral approach for posterolateral tibial plateau fractures.
The best approach for treating posterolateral tibial plateau fractures remains controversial. The clinical results of an extended anterolateral approach on such fractures are discussed in this study. ⋯ Therapeutic, Level IV.
