Is PRP ready to be considered a first-line injectable treatment for knee OA? The ESSKA-ORBIT European consensus delivers evidence-based recommendations on indications, preparation, and protocols for blood-derived orthobiologics. •Find out more here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Are all slope reducing osteotomies equal? This new KSSTA study suggests there may be relevant differences. #knee #osteotomy #HTO #clinicalstudies #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

At 2-year follow-up, restricted kinematic alignment delivered superior patient-reported outcomes and joint awareness versus mechanical alignment—with the greatest benefit seenin varusCPAK phenotypes. •Find out more here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

A biomechanical cadaveric study showed that flat graft choice significantly influence the properties of superficial MCL reconstructions, with single-strand semitendinosus and quadriceps tendon grafts best replicating native ligament behavior. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Quadriceps tendon ruptures often occur close to the patellar insertion and have traditionally been linked to a distal hypovascular zone. But is this true? #knee #quadriceps #MRI #vessels #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

Adding a LEAP to ACL reconstruction with quadriceps or bone-tendon-bone autografts did not impair functional or psychological readiness for return to sport at 6 or 9 months in young athletes. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

What is truly “normal” coronal alignment in total knee arthroplasty? This landmark study of nearly 12,000 knees redefines neutrality, normality, deviance and aberrance—marking a crucial step toward truly personalized TKA. Find out more here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Can a one step, fully autologous cartilage repair challenge MACI even in large knee defects? Read this new KSSTA study to find out. #knee #cartilage #clinicaltrials #regeneration #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Does mechanically aligned TKA work equally well for every knee phenotype? This study shows that outcomes vary significantly across CPAK phenotypes, with varus aHKA patients experiencing inferior results at 1 year. •Find out more here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

A multilevel meta-analysis of 34 studies including 1278 patients found that endoscopic and open gluteal tendon repair achieve comparable improvements in pain and function, with both approaches exceeding clinically meaningful thresholds. Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

If orthopaedic science only celebrates success, we risk repeating the same mistakes. This KSSTA editorial explains why negative results and complications must be reported to truly move our field forward. #science #evidencebasedmedicine #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

A CT-based simulation study comparing KA and MA in TKA found that KA produced greater medial but smaller lateral PFCO when a medial-pivot implant designed for mechanical alignment was used. #knee #arthroplasty #kinematicalignment #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

When treating the painful degenerative varus knee, surgical precision and complication management are crucial. The ESSKA Formal Consensus Part II outlines recommendations on technique, stability, weight-bearing and return to sport. Find out more here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Medial hinge fractures after closing wedge HTO are far from rare. This KSSTA study introduces a practical new fracture classification. #knee #osteotomy #hinge #fracture #classification #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.70…

Not all varus knees are the same, and gender matters. This study demonstrates that male varus phenotypes are primarily driven by femoral morphology, while tibial alignment remains similar across sexes. •Find out more here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…

Bone marrow edema on preop MRI is not a red flag in medial meniscus posterior root tears. It might be the sign your patient are likely to have a functional win after root repair.   #knee #meniscus #edema #arthroscopy #KSSTA Read here: doi.org/10.1002/ksa.12…
