On the Cover: View from the anteromedial portal of the left knee of the final construct. Two sutures are crossing the fracture fragment (black block arrow), fixated to the tibia by the medial anchor (not pictured) and lateral anchor (thin black arrow). Anterior cruciate ligament is also seen in the superolateral aspect of the view (white arrowhead), and the lateral femoral condyle is labeled with a white star.

Editorial Commentary: Cadaveric Biomechanical Orthopaedic Research Is Essential and Requires Quality and Validity Metrics
Evidence-based medicine is the commanding philosophy of patient care in the field of orthopaedic surgery, and analysis of clinical research is facilitated by instruments and scales developed for assessing methodologic quality and  validity of conclusions. In contrast, little consideration has been given to developing metrics to assess the quality and validity of orthopaedic ex vivo and laboratory research. This is easier said than done because these studies may be heterogeneous and complex in design, and methodologic detai ls may not be intuitive to (non-engineer) readers.

Editorial Commentary: Osteochondral Allograft of the Knee —Diffuse Edema at 6 Months on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Predicts Failure
Cartilage defects alter natural function of articular cartilage and can predispose patients to further cartilage wear and eventual osteoarthritis. These injuries present a challenging problem with a multitude of treatment options and lack of consensus on when to employ each. Options include conservative measures (limited weightbearing and immobilization), debridement, microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation, and osteochondral autograft and allograft. Indications may be based on defect size, joint alignment, age, activity level, body mass index, and sex. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

Editorial Commentary: The Gold Standard for Assessment of Hip Instability Is 3-Dimensional Imaging
Radiographs have been used for more than a century as standard practice to diagnose bony pathology. Although cost-efficient, their limitations to display 3-dimensional structures may compromise our ability to correctly diagnose —and treat correspondingly—conditions of the hip that cause microinstability and ultimately lead to cartilage wear. Several radiographic measurements—such as the lateral center-edge angle, anterior center-edge angle, Tönnis angle, crossover sign, etc.—have historically been used to determin e instability.

Author Reply: Postoperative Shoulder Function Assessment: Proposing the Concept of “Forgotten Shoulder” Over “Normal Shoulder” as the New Standard in Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation
A major limitation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) postoperatively is the ceiling effect, where patients report the maximum score, making it difficult to differentiate between different conditions. Our findings regarding the Subjective Shoulder Value for Sport reveal a significant ceiling effect postsurgery, indicating the need for improvements in PROMs, including the Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE). One of the problems with SANE is scoring a “normal” joint as the maximum. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

Cartilage defects alter natural function of articular cartilage and can predispose patients tofurther cartilage wear and eventual osteoarthritis. These injuries present a challenging problem with a multitude of treatment options and lack of consensus on when to employ each. Options include conservative measures (limited weight bearing and immobilization), debridement, microfracture, autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), and osteochondral autograft and allograft. Indications may be based on defect size, joint alignment, age, activity level, BMI, and sex. (Source: Arthroscopy - Journal of Arthroscopic and Related Surgery)

Editorial Commentary: The Gold Standard for Assessment of Hip Instability Is Three-Dimensional (3-D) Imaging.
X-rays have been utilized for over a century as standard practice to diagnose bony pathology. While cost-efficient, their limitations to display three-dimensional structures may compromise our ability to correctly diagnose – and treat correspondingly- conditions of the hip that cause microinstability and ultimately lead to cartilage wear. Several radiographic measurements – such as the LCEA, ACEA, Tönnis angle, crossover sign, etc. – have historically been used to determine instability. More recently, the Femor o-epiphysial acetabular roof (FEAR) index has been proposed as a method to diagnose an unstable hip throug...

Postoperative Shoulder Function Assessment: Proposing the concept of 'Forgotten shoulder' over 'Normal shoulder ’ as the New Standard in Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation
A major limitation of Patient-Reported Outcomes Measures (PROMs) postoperatively is the ceiling effect, where patients report the maximum score, making it difficult to differentiate between different conditions. Our findings regarding the SSV-Sport reveal a significant ceiling effect post-surgery, indicating the need for improvements in PROMs, including the Single Assessment Numerical Evaluation (SANE). One of the problems with SANE is scoring a ‘normal’ joint as the maximum. Patients might tolerate some subtle imperfections in their recovery and still consider their joint ‘normal’.

Virtual and Augmented Reality Simulators Show Intraoperative, Surgical Training, and Athletic Training Applications: A Scoping Review
To review published literature to identify and evaluate the effect of virtual reality (complete immersion) and augmented reality (overlay of digital information onto the physical world) simulators on intraoperative use for orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic surgical education, and athletic training. MethodsA systematic review was performed using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines to identify studies, published since 2014, which evaluated the role of augmented/virtual reality on intraoperative use for orthopaedic surgeons, orthopaedic surgical education, and athletic tr...
