Observational StudyPreoperative soft tissue laxity around knee was associated with less accurate alignment correction after hybrid closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy.
This study aimed to assess the effect of soft tissue correction due to knee joint laxity, which induces alignment error after hybrid closed-wedge high tibial osteotomy (CWHTO). In addition, to verify whether postoperative soft tissue correction can be predicted from preoperative radiographic parameters. ⋯ Preoperative values for JLCA and JLCA under valgus stress are associated with soft tissue correction. Surgeons should, therefore, consider these measurements to achieve postoperative limb alignment.

Meta AnalysisAnterior cruciate ligament reconstruction with the use of adductor canal block can achieve similar pain control as femoral nerve block.
Moderate-to-severe postoperative pain remains a challenge for both patients and surgeons after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). The purpose of this study was to systematically review the current evidence in the literature to compare adductor canal block (ACB) with femoral nerve block (FNB) in the treatment of ACLR. ⋯ Meta-analysis of Level 1 was performed in this study.

Greater knee joint laxity remains in teenagers after anatomical double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction compared to young adults.
There is paucity in studies regarding double-bundle anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (DB-ACLR) in teenagers. The purpose of this study is to investigate clinical outcome after DB-ACLR and analyze whether any differences exist between teenagers and young adults. ⋯ III.

Comparative StudyNo difference between single and staged posterolateral corner surgical procedures in the multiligament injured/dislocated knee.
Posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries commonly occur in the setting of a dislocated knee and often require multiple procedures due to concomitant vascular, nerve, and soft tissue involvement. Debate persists regarding single vs staged surgery. The purpose of this study was to compare knee function after single and staged surgery for PLC injury. ⋯ III.
