Size correlation between the tibial anterior cruciate ligament footprint and the tibia plateau.
The purpose of this study was to reveal the correlation between the size of the native anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) footprint and the size of the tibia plateau. ⋯ For clinical relevance, the AP length of lateral facet of the tibia plateau and total area of tibia plateau are significantly correlated with the size of the tibial ACL footprint. It might be possible to predict the size of the ACL measuring these parameters.

Combined osteochondral allograft and meniscal allograft transplantation: a survivorship analysis.
The efficacy of meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT) and osteochondral allografting (OCA) as individual treatment modalities for select applications is well established. MAT and OCA are considered symbiotic procedures due to a complementary spectrum of indications and reciprocal contraindications. However, few outcomes of concomitant MAT and OCA have been reported. This study is a retrospective review of patients who received simultaneous MAT and OCA between 1983 and 2011. ⋯ IV.

Case ReportsAnterior meniscus root avulsion following intramedullary nailing for a tibial shaft fracture.
This paper presents the first reported case of iatrogenic injury to the anterior medial meniscal root attachment following intramedullary nailing for a tibial shaft fracture. The patient experienced a closed right tibia-fibula fracture 7 years prior to presentation, which was treated with a reamed intramedullary nail. The nail was removed 3 years after the index surgery due to chronic anterior knee pain, which persisted following hardware removal. At presentation, the patient was diagnosed with an anterior horn medial meniscal root tear likely secondary to insertion of the intramedullary nail through the anatomic footprint of the anterior medial root. After undergoing a medial meniscus anterior horn root repair, the patient was asymptomatic and resumed normal activities. ⋯ Case report, Level IV.
