Summary: This study investigated the prevalence of anterolateral ligament (ALL) injury and lateral meniscus (LM) tear in cases with both-bundle tear and selective bundle incomplete tear of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The results showed that ALL injury was significantly related to the PL bundle tear of the ACL, while LM tear was not significantly correlated with the types of ACL injury and ALL injury.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of posterior tibial slope (PTS) angles on joint kinematics and contact mechanics of intact and anterior cruciate ligament-deficient (ACLD) knees. The results showed that increasing PTS angles significantly affected the tensile force on the ACL in the intact knee and led to differences in kinematics and increased loading on the medial meniscus.

Summary: At 25 years after ACLR with a bone-patellar tendon-bone autograft, 60% of patients developed osteoarthritis (OA) in the involved knee. Medial and lateral meniscal surgery were independent predictors of OA development.

Summary: This study validated a 2D radial T2* mapping method for revealing subtle alterations in the menisci of patients with knee osteoarthritis (OA). The results showed that the radial T2* mapping method provided better discrimination than the conventional method. It was found that the T2* values in the menisci were significantly higher in the OA group compared to the control group, and there were correlations between the T2* values and the Lequesne index.

Summary: This study validates the factors contributing to post-traumatic osteoarthritis development and emphasizes the importance of ACL reconstruction in preventing secondary knee joint damage. The consensus algorithm provides guidance for managing ACL rupture and associated injuries.

Summary: The study found a approximately 1% increase in bone surface area in the compartment with meniscal pathology after ACL injury, suggesting a potentially important association between meniscal integrity and early bone surface area changes.

Summary: The study found that there was no significant difference in the frequency of structural joint damage on MRI scans at 2 and 5 years post-ACL injury, regardless of whether patients underwent surgical or nonsurgical treatment. However, the group treated with rehabilitation alone showed less inflammation at 2 and 5 years.

Summary: The study found that MRI is accurate in assessing tear location and tissue quality of ACL tears, and may help clinicians predict the reparability of the tears.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and factors associated with meniscal ramp lesions on MRI in patients with ACL injuries. The results showed that contact sports at ACL injury, specific bone bruising, and Segond fracture were associated with meniscal ramp lesions. Therefore, meniscal ramp lesions should be systematically searched for on MRI in patients with ACL injuries.

Summary: MRI measurement of the posterior cruciate ligament inclination angle (PCLIA) may be an auxiliary tool in aiding the recognition of ACL insufficiency, with higher PCLIA values observed in individuals with ACL injuries compared to those without. This could potentially lead to more personalized and precise treatment approaches for ACL injuries.

Summary: This study evaluates the different onset of early PFC between B-PT-B and HT techniques through T2 mapping. The results show no significant difference between the two MRI techniques and reconstructive techniques. The KOOS and Tegner Lysholm scales demonstrate significant agreement with MRI results on the grading of chondropathy.

Summary: This study investigated the changes in microRNA expression profiles in knee synovial fluid of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture. The results showed that specific microRNAs were expressed differently in OA and ACL tear samples. These findings may contribute to further research on the mechanisms and treatments of osteoarthritis and ACL rupture.

Summary: This study investigated age-dependent changes in knee cartilage among healthy volunteers using a 3D-MRF sequence. The results showed that there were increased T-1, T-2, and T-1ρ relaxation times in both global and regional cartilage with higher age groups, primarily within the medial compartment.

Summary: The study investigated the relationship between meniscal tear type and treatment at the time of anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and quadriceps strength in adolescents during the late rehabilitative phase. The results showed that meniscal tear type and treatment did not affect quadriceps strength or symmetry.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate risk factors associated with meniscus tears following an isolated primary anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction. The results found that ACL graft failure is the strongest predictor of post-operative meniscus tears.

Summary: Studies on shoulder conditions show that the values of MCID, SCB, and PASS are influenced by various factors and may vary significantly. Therefore, it is important to consider these variables when designing studies or using previously published values.
