OBJECTIVE: Vertical jump tests are more sensitive in revealing asymmetries in performance metrics at the time of return to sport after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction (ACLR) than horizontal hop tests. However, it remains unclear which vertical tests (bilateral or unilateral) and which metrics (kinetics or performance) are most effective in informing the rehabilitation status and readiness for return to sport. We aimed to investigate the status of athletes during vertical jump testing at return to sport after ACLR...

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have examined the effect of whole body (WB) parameters on anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) strain and loads, as well as knee joint kinetics and kinematics. However, articular cartilage damage occurs in relation to ACL failure, and the effect of WB parameters on ACL strain and articular cartilage biomechanics during dynamic tasks is unclear. PURPOSES: (1) To investigate the effect of WB parameters on ACL strain, as well as articular cartilage stress and contact force, during a single-leg cross drop (SLCD) and single-leg drop (SLD)...

Introduction The meniscus plays a vital role in maintaining knee stability. It acts as a shock absorber and knee filler. The incidence of meniscal tears is estimated to be 60 per 100,000 people. Due to lack of awareness among patients, only 10% of the meniscus tears were treated through partial or total meniscectomy. Recently, the concept of meniscus preservation surgery has emerged to preserve early degeneration of the knee joint. In the current retrospective study, safety and functional outcomes of arthroscopic meniscal repair surgery using Surestitch All inside implants (Sironix Arthroscopy Solutions, Healthium Medtech Limited, Bengalaru, India) were assessed...

BACKGROUND: Tibial deflexion osteotomy (TDO) is sometimes indicated for revision anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction in knees with posterior tibial slope (PTS) ≥12° and aims to decrease PTS to around 5°. When planning TDO, measuring the anterior tibial metaphyseal height (aHt) could help ascertain whether the available metaphyseal bone would be sufficient to create the wedge and leave adequate residual bone. PURPOSE: To (1) determine whether, compared with knees with normal native PTS (<12°), aHt is greater in knees with excessive native PTS (≥12°), and (2) verify if, aiming to decrease PTS to 5°, supratuberosity TDO in knees with excessive native PTS could be performed without tibial tuberosity osteotomy, leaving a minimum of 15 mm of residual bone for fixation staples or plates...

CONTEXT: Deficits in perceptual-motor function, like visuomotor reaction time (VMRT), are risk factors for primary and secondary ACL injury. Non-contact ACL injuries have been associated with slower reaction time, but it is unknown if this association exists for patients with contact ACL injuries. Exploring differences in VMRT between non-contact and contact ACL injuries may provide a more comprehensive understanding of modifiable risk factors between mechanisms of injury. OBJECTIVE: To compare lower extremity VMRT (LEVMRT) between individuals with contact and non-contact ACL injuries after ACLR...

BACKGROUND: As the awareness towards gender-specific therapies continues to increase among all fields of medicine, so does the need for gender-sensitive evaluations of established surgical techniques. With a higher likelihood of anterior cruciate ligament injury in women, a critical assessment of the functional outcome of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction regarding patient sex is indispensable. Almost all pre-existing literature on this subject is based on anterior cruciate ligament reconstructions carried out before 2008, when 'all-inside' techniques did not exist...

As the process complexity has been increased to overcome challenges in plasma etching, individual control of internal plasma parameters for process optimization has attracted attention. This study investigated the individual contribution of internal parameters, the ion energy and flux, on high-aspect ratio SiO2 etching characteristics for various trench widths in a dual-frequency capacitively coupled plasma system with Ar/C4F8 gases. We established an individual control window of ion flux and energy by adjusting dual-frequency power sources and measuring the electron density and self-bias voltage...
