Pleased to have our paper accepted in JSAMS. Main take homes we observed: Chronic high speed running exposure (>80% not >90%) as well as eccentric strength training in athletes allowed for ~90% of the controllable determinants in fascicle length. jsams.org/article/S1440-…

TT–TG isn’t one-size-fits-all. Elevated values in patellar instability are driven mainly by tibiofemoral rotation, independent of bony morphology—supporting more personalized surgical planning. 🔗 jisakos.com/article/S2059-…

25 years of ACLR trends in #JISAKOS 🦵 Experts report a shift toward quad autografts, modern tunnel drilling & fixation, more meniscus repair, and a move from 6 → 9 months for return to cutting sports. 🔗 jisakos.com/article/S2059-…

Does knee hyperextension change how you perform an ACLR? 🛠️🦴 An international survey of ISAKOS members reveals that surgeons frequently modify their surgical approach for patients with ligamentous hyperlaxity or hyperextension. #ACL #SportsMedicine #ACLR #KneeSurgery

There is a paucity of available data on return-to-sport based on sex after contemporary cartilage procedures for chondral injuries of the knee. Meta-analysis of available data suggests female athletes may have more difficulty with returning to sport than male athletes. @blauMD

Here is a surgical technique for reconstruction of chronic patellar tendon (PT) ruptures using ipsilateral hamstring tendon autografts. Both tendons are kept attached to their tibial insertion. @etiennecavaigniac arthroscopytechniques.org/article/S2212-…

How do you measure tibial slope? This article compares several methods and demonstrates that an easier method, the Axis Estimate method may be just as reliable! #kneearthroscopy #ACL
