Summary: Marine collagen has potential therapeutic effects for treating osteoarthritis. Collagen and glycine can inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines, attenuating cartilage degradation, while collagen peptides promote cartilage regeneration.

Summary: Quadriceps strength deficits following anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) are associated with cartilage volume changes. In the early years after ACLR, higher quadriceps strength is correlated with lower cartilage volume on the medial tibia. Restoring quadriceps strength may reduce the likelihood of early tibiofemoral joint cartilage degeneration.

Summary: This study applies deep learning to automatically segment ACL tears from MRI images. By using the U-Net architecture and semantic segmentation technique, high accuracy segmentation results have been achieved. The method shows promising potential in the field of medical image analysis.

Summary: Factors such as baseline meniscus surgery, single-leg-hop limb symmetry index, and hamstring strength imbalance were found to be associated with the development of tibiofemoral and patellofemoral osteoarthritis in patients with anterior cruciate ligament injury. Further research is needed to investigate whether interventions can prevent or delay the onset of osteoarthritis in this population.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the presence of ACL-MD in patients with TD and investigate whether there was a correlation between ACL-MD and TD grade and TT-TG distance. The results showed that TD and patellar instability are significant risk factors for ACL-MD. Due to the high prevalence of ACL-MD with TD, preoperative evaluation of ACL with knee MRI is recommended.

Summary: The study evaluated the long-term outcomes of combined medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty and anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, finding that the procedure led to good long-term outcomes and implant survivorship in patients with isolated medial knee osteoarthritis and ACL deficiency. Improvement in pain scores, functionality, and activity levels were observed postoperatively, with good implant survival rates and stability.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to provide demographic and clinical characteristics of mucoid degeneration of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and assess the outcomes of partial arthroscopic ACL resection. A total of 60 patients underwent partial ACL resection for mucoid degeneration of the ACL. The final follow-up results showed that arthroscopic partial resection of the ACL led to good clinical outcome for treating mucoid degeneration of the ACL.

Summary: ACL deficiency is not always a contraindication for UKA. With correct patient selection, UKA could be considered for medial knee osteoarthritis with ACL deficiency without antero-posterior instability, especially in patients over 60 years of age.

Summary: The study compared tibiofemoral cartilage composition in ACLR patients with different serum biochemical profiles, finding that increased serum levels of inflammation and matrix degradation markers preoperatively to 6-months post-ACLR are associated with MRI changes consistent with lesser lateral tibiofemoral cartilage proteoglycan density 12-months post-ACLR.

Summary: The study indicated that the tibia is medially subluxated after ACL rupture, and ACL reconstruction can correct this subluxation. This finding is valuable for diagnosing ACL rupture and assessing imaging status during or after ACL reconstruction.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate whether MPTA at the posterior tibial plateau represents the pre-arthritic constitutional MPTA in ACL-intact, advanced OA knees. The results showed correlations between HKA angle and middle MPTA, as well as Delta MPTA (Middle-Posterior).

Summary: A retrospective cohort study of 1810 individuals who underwent knee arthroscopic surgery by the same surgeon found that arthroscopic partial resection of the ACL and concomitant notchplasty yielded satisfactory outcomes for the treatment of MD-ACL. Classifying patients based on the resected ACL volume did not show significant differences in clinical outcomes.

Summary: ACL rupture leads to increased contact area, posteriorly translated medial centroid, anterior tibial translation, and reduced tibial external rotation, regardless of surgical reconstruction status. These changes persist 2.7 years post-injury.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to analyze the restoration of physiologic medial laxity and patient reported subjective functional outcomes in patients who undergo an anatomic medial knee reconstruction. The results showed that anatomic reconstruction of the superficial medial collateral and posterior oblique ligaments can restore stability consistently in cases of chronic grade 3 instability, with satisfactory functional results, subjective outcomes, and measures of static medial stability in the short term.
