Evaluation of hop performance in children with anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction using healthy reference data: A cross-sectional study
Hop testing are frequently used to evaluate functional performance after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in adults [1] and in children [2]. The most commonly reported single-leg hop tests are: Single-leg hop, 6-m timed hop, triple hop, and cross-over hop performed on both the operated and non-operated leg [1 –3]. In clinical practice, these hop tests are used to reveal functional limitations [4] and the limb symmetry index (LSI) is often calculated to assess this [5]. Return to sport recommendations for children with ACL reconstruction states that the hop performance LSI should be > 90 % [6] indicating...

Study of the nerve endings and mechanoreceptors of the medial meniscotibial ligament of the knee: A structural and distribution analysis
The aim of the present study is to describe the morphology and distribution of the nerve endings of the meniscotibial ligament (MTL) of the knee, in order to understand the interaction between the proprioceptive system and knee mechanics. (Source: The Knee)

Effectiveness of arthroscopic excision based on the distribution of the tenosynovial giant cell tumor around knee joint
The mainstay treatment for tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) is open excision. However, open excision is associated with the risk of stiffness, infection, neurovascular injury, and prolonged hospital stay and rehabilitation. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of arthroscopic excision of tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT) of the knee joint, including the diffuse type of TGCT. (Source: The Knee)

Is mid-sulcus line a predictive guide for tibial mechanical axis during total knee arthroplasty?
In this study, we have evaluated the reliability of ‘mid-sulcus line’ as an anatomical landmark to guide tibial resection, with the intra-operative help of CANS. (Source: The Knee)

Postoperative femoral component rotation using posterior condylar referencing is difficult to predict preoperatively in total knee arthroplasty
Femoral rotational alignment is important for good patellar tracking [1], stability [2] and good functional outcome [3] after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). A large positive correlation has been identified between external rotation of the femoral component and the Knee Society Score [3]. A number of studies have shown that internal rotation of the femoral component leads to inferior tibiofemoral kinematics, poorer outcomes, and quadriceps weakness [4 –6]. Femoral surgical trans-epicondylar axis (sTEA), a line connecting the most prominent point of the lateral epicondyle with the lowest point of the medial sulcus, is wide...

Interlimb differences in T1 ρ MRI relaxation times linked with symptomatic knee osteoarthritis following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction
We examined associations between femoral cartilage inter-limb T1ρ MRI relaxation time ratios and clinically relevant knee symptoms at 12 months following anterior crucial ligament reconst ruction (ACLR). (Source: The Knee)

Patellar resurfacing was not associated with a clinically significant advantage when a modern patellar friendly total knee arthroplasty is employed: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Modern total knee arthroplasty (TKA) femoral components are designed to provide a more optimal articular surface for the patella whether or not it has been resurfaced. Previous systematic reviews comparing outcomes of patellar resurfacing and no resurfacing combine both historic and modern designs. (Source: The Knee)

Can a community hospital successfully transition to outpatient total knee arthroplasty in unselected patients?
The removal of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) from the Inpatient-Only list in 2018 created pressure on community hospitals to develop rapid discharge protocols (RAP) to increase outpatient discharge. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to compare the efficacy, safety and barriers in achieving outpatient discharge between the standard discharge protocol and newly developed RAP in unselected, unilateral TKA patients.

Impact of revision TKA indications on resource utilization
Indications for surgery may impact resource utilization in aseptic revision total knee arthroplasty (rTKA), and understanding these relationships would facilitate risk-stratification preoperatively. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of rTKA indications on readmission, reoperation, length of stay (LOS), and cost. (Source: The Knee)

Individuals with knee osteoarthritis demonstrate increased passive stiffness of the hip flexor muscles
There is a substantial body of literature demonstrating that individuals with knee osteoarthritis (OA) walk with increased co-contraction of the knee flexor and extensor muscles [1]. This increased co-contraction has been linked with elevated joint loading [2], increased loss of articular cartilage [3] and has been shown to increase the likelihood that patients will opt for a knee replacement at 5-year follow up [4]. Given the potentially damaging effect of co-contraction, it is important to understand the underlying biomechanical mechanisms. (Source: The Knee)
