Abstract
BACKGROUND The purpose of this review was to compare clinical outcomes, return to sport (RTS), and complications in comparative studies examining patients undergoing primary Latarjet procedure versus Latarjet in the revision setting following soft tissue stabilization. METHODS A literature search was conducted using PubMed and Scopus databases using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Meta-Analyses guidelines. Inclusion criteria consisted of level I to III human clinical studies reporting clinical outcomes (Visual Analogue Pain Scale [VAS]), RTS metrics, and complications in patients following primary versus revision Latarjet procedures. Study quality was assessed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. RESULTS A total of seven studies, consisting of 1170 patients (n=1179 shoulders) with a mean age of 26.4 years, consisting of 91.9% males (n=1083/1179 shoulders), were identified. Mean final follow-up was 46.4 (mean range, 7.3-72.2) months. A total of 748 primary and 431 revision Latarjet procedures were analyzed. Complications were reported in 9.6% (range, 0%-24.2%) of patients undergoing primary and 20.2% (range, 0%-40.7%) in patients undergoing revision procedures (p=0.22). There was no significant difference in the RTS rate between patients undergoing primary (87.3%; range, 83.8%-92.1%) versus Latarjet as a revision procedure (78.9%; range, 60%-100%) (p=0.08). Moreover, no significant difference in postoperative VAS was observed in patients undergoing primary versus Latarjet as a revision procedure (p=0.21). Recurrent shoulder subluxation was significantly greater in patients undergoing revision (12.0%; n=31/259 shoulders; range, 0%-20.7%) compared to primary procedures (3.3%; n=27/511 shoulders; range, 0%-9%) (p<0.001). DISCUSSION Patients undergoing primary and revision Latarjet demonstrated overall similar rates of complications and return to sport. Of clinical importance, Latarjet as a revision procedure possessed a risk of recurrent subluxation 3.6 times higher than primary Latarjet. While effective, patients should be counseled regarding the differing prognosis between Latarjet as a primary or revision procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE III; Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare the efficacy of common intra-articular injections used in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis, including corticosteroid (CS), hyaluronic acid (HA), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC), with a minimum follow-up of 6-months. METHODS A literature search was conducted using the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines in August 2022 in the following databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Database of Controlled Trials, and the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Level I to II randomized clinical trials with a minimum follow-up of 6 months that investigated the treatments of interest were included. Patient-reported outcome scores for pain and function at baseline and at latest follow-up were extracted, and the change in scores was converted to uniform 0 to 100 scales. Arm-based Bayesian network meta-analysis using a random-effects model was created to compare the treatment arms in pain and function. RESULTS Forty-eight studies comprising a total of 9,338 knees were included. The most studied intra-articular injection was HA (40.9%), followed by placebo (26.2%), PRP (21.5%), CS (8.8%), and then BMAC (2.5%). HA and PRP both led to a significant improvement in pain compared with placebo. HA, PRP, and BMAC all led to a significant improvement in function scores when compared with placebo. Surface under the cumulative ranking curves (SUCRAs) of the interventions revealed that PRP, BMAC, and HA were the treatments with the highest likelihood of improvement in both pain and function, with overall SUCRA scores of 91.54, 76.46, and 53.12, respectively. The overall SUCRA scores for CS and placebo were 15.18 and 13.70, respectively. CONCLUSIONS At a minimum 6-month follow-up, PRP demonstrated significantly improved pain and function for patients with knee osteoarthritis compared with placebo. Additionally, PRP exhibited the highest SUCRA values for these outcomes when compared with BMAC, HA, and CS. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level II, meta-analysis of Level I to II studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To conduct a systematic review evaluating potential correlations between preoperative articular cartilage integrity on outcomes and survivorship in patients undergoing meniscal allograft transplantation (MAT). METHODS A literature search was performed by querying SCOPUS, PubMed, Medline, and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials from database inception through May 2023 according to the 2020 PRISMA statement. Inclusion criteria were limited to studies reporting on outcomes and survivorship following MAT based on preoperative cartilage status. RESULTS Sixteen studies, consisting of 1723 patients (n = 1758 total menisci), were identified in six level III and 10 level IV evidence studies. There was high heterogeneity in cartilage grading scales, reporting of concomitant cartilage procedures, and indications for MAT based on osteoarthritis. Patients with lower limb malalignment were either excluded or corrected with an osteotomy. MAT failure rate was reported in nine studies, with four studies reporting a greater rate of failure in knees with higher degrees of cartilage damage. Eight studies reported on clinical outcomes based on cartilage grade, with two studies reporting significant differences in clinical outcomes based on cartilage grade. Of the five studies reporting management of full-thickness chondral defects with cartilage surgery, three studies reported no significant difference in survivorship based on preoperative cartilage grade, while one study reported lower survivorship and one study reported unclear results. No studies found significant differences in survivorship and outcomes between medial and lateral MAT. CONCLUSIONS Conflicting results and high variability in reporting of concomitant cartilage repair and indications for MAT exist in studies evaluating the efficacy of MAT based on articular cartilage status. The degree of preoperative chondral damage did not have a strong relationship with clinical outcomes following MAT. Higher degrees of cartilage damage were associated with higher MAT failure rates, with possible improvement in survivorship when treated with an appropriate cartilage procedure. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) tears are recognized as a substantial cause of disability and morbidity. However, meniscus root repair, regardless of technique, is not without potential complications. PURPOSE To evaluate the reported incidence of complications and adverse events after isolated MMPR repair. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS A systematic review was conducted according to the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines using Embase, PubMed, and Scopus databases with the following search terms combined with Boolean operators: "meniscus,""root," and "repair." Inclusion criteria consisted of level 1 to 4 human clinical studies in English or English-language translation reporting complications and adverse events after isolated posterior medial meniscus root repairs. The overall incidence of specific complications was estimated from the pooled sample of the included studies. RESULTS Eleven studies with a total pooled sample of 442 patients were identified. The mean patient age was 58.1 years, while the mean final follow-up time was 37.2 months (range, 12-84.8 months). The overall incidence of complications was 9.7% (n = 43/442), with the most commonly reported complication being progressive degenerative changes within the knee (10.4%; n = 25/240; n = 5 studies). A total of 1.25% (n = 3/240) of patients who experienced degenerative changes required conversion to total knee arthroplasty. Repair failures were reported in 3.1% (n = 10/327; n = 8 studies) of patients. CONCLUSION Repairing MMPR tears is critical in preventing accelerated progression of knee osteoarthritis in patients without significant knee osteoarthritis preoperatively. While this repair is still recommended and necessary in appropriate patients, this review found that the incidence of complications after isolated posterior medial meniscus root repair was 9.7%, primarily involving the presence of progressive degeneration, while repair failure was reported in 3% of patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE To investigate whether allograft substitutes may be used to restore suctional seal properties with labral augmentation, the purpose of the current study was to evaluate the biomechanical properties of the labral suction seal under several scenarios, including: (1) intact labrum, (2) rim preparation, (3) labral repair, (4) labral augmentation with iliotibial band (ITB), and (5) labral augmentation with a dermis allograft. METHODS Eleven hemi-pelvises were dissected to the level of the labrum and placed in a material testing system for biomechanical axial distraction. Each specimen was compressed to 250 newtons (N) and distracted at 10 mm/s while load, crosshead displacement, and time were continuously recorded. For each of the 5 labral states, 3 testing repetitions were performed. Peak force (N, newtons), displacement at peak force (mm, millimeter), and work (N-mm, newton, millimeter) were calculated and normalized to the intact state of each specimen. RESULTS Eleven specimens were tested and 8 specimens (age: 58.6 ± 5.4 years, body mass index: 28.6 ± 6.8 kg/m2; 4 female patients; 5 right hips) were included in final analyses. Expressed as a percentage relative to the intact state, the average normalized peak force, displacement at peak force, and work for each labral state were as follows: intact (100.0% ± 0% for all), rim preparation (89.0% ± 9.2%, 93.3% ± 20.6%, 85.1% ± 9.0%), repair (61.3% ± 17.9%, 88.4% ± 36.9%, 58.1% ± 16.7%), ITB allograft (62.7% ± 24.9%, 83.9% ± 21.6%, 59.4% ± 22.4%), and dermis allograft (57.8% ± 27.2%, 88.2% ± 29.5%, 50.0% ± 20.1%). Regarding peak force, intact state was significantly greater compared with the labral repair, augmentation with ITB, and augmentation with the dermis allograft states (P < .001). No significant differences were demonstrated between displacement at peak force (P = .561). Regarding work, both intact state and rim preparation states were significantly greater than the repair, ITB augmentation, and dermis allograft augmentation states (P < .001). In all outcome measures, the dermis allograft augmentation performed with no statistical difference to the ITB augmentation state. CONCLUSIONS Labral repair and labral augmentation with either ITB allograft or the dermis allograft resulted in significantly lower peak force and work to equilibrium compared with the intact and rim prep states. There was no statistical difference between repair and augmentation states as well as no statistical difference between ITB allograft and dermal allograft at time zero. CLINICAL RELEVANCE This study compares biomechanical properties of the suction seal of the hip comparing labral states including intact, rim preparation, repair, and augmentation, which can be used for surgical decision-making.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the incidence of postoperative complications after an isolated primary Latarjet procedure for anterior shoulder instability at a minimum 2-year follow-up. METHODS A systematic review was performed in accordance with 2020 PRISMA guidelines. EMBASE, Scopus, and PubMed databases were queried from database inception through September 2022. The literature search was limited to human clinical studies reporting on postoperative complications and adverse events after a primary Latarjet procedure with a minimum 2-year follow-up. Risk of bias was measured using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. RESULTS Twenty-two studies, consisting of 1,797 patients (n = 1,816 shoulders), with a mean age of 24 years were identified. The overall postoperative complication rate ranged from 0% to 25.7%, with the most common complication being persistent shoulder pain (range: 0%-25.7%). Radiological changes included graft resorption (range: 7.5%-100%) and glenohumeral degenerative changes (range: 0%-52.5%). Recurrent instability following surgery was documented in 0% to 35% of shoulders, while the incidence of bone block fractures ranged from 0% to 6% of cases. Postoperative nonunion, infection, and hematomas had a reported incidence rate ranging from 0% to 16.7%, 0% to 2.6%, and 0% to 4.4%, respectively. Overall, 0% to 7.5% of surgeries were reported failures, and 0% to 11.1% of shoulders required reoperation, with a revision rate ranging from 0% to 7.7%. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of complications following the primary Latarjet procedure for shoulder instability was variable, ranging from 0% to 25.7%. High rates of graft resorption, degenerative changes, and nonunion were present while failure and revision rates remained low at a minimum 2-year follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level III, systematic review of Level I-III studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries can result in significant functional impairment in throwing and overhead athletes. UCL reconstruction and repair are proven treatments to restore stability, but the efficacy of nonoperative management is unclear. PURPOSE To determine the rate of return to sports (RTS) and return to previous level of play (RTLP) in athletes sustaining medial elbow ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) injuries treated nonoperatively. STUDY DESIGN Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. METHODS A literature search was performed using Scopus, PubMed, Medline, the Cochrane Database for Systematic Review, and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials according to the 2020 PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) statement. Inclusion criteria were limited to level 1 to 4 human studies reporting on RTS outcomes after nonoperative management of UCL injuries. RESULTS A total of 15 studies, consisting of 365 patients with a mean age of 20.45 ± 3.26 years, were identified. Treatment primarily consisted of platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections with physical therapy (n = 189 patients; n = 7 studies) versus physical therapy alone (n = 176 patients; n = 8 studies). The overall RTS rate was 79.7% and the overall RTLP rate was 77.9%. Increasing UCL injury severity grade was associated with lower RTS rates. The RTS rate for proximal tears (89.7%; n = 61/68) was significantly greater than that for distal tears (41.2%; n = 14/34) (P < .0001). No significant difference in RTS rate was seen in patients treated with PRP versus those who did not receive PRP (P = .757). CONCLUSION For athletes undergoing nonoperative management of UCL injuries, the overall RTS and RTLP rates were 79.7% and 77.9%, respectively, with excellent outcomes in grade 1 and grade 2 UCL injuries, specifically. The RTS rate for proximal tears was significantly higher than that for distal tears. Athletes were most commonly treated with PRP injection and physical therapy.

Abstract
Background Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) surgery with quadriceps tendon (QT) grafts, both with and without a patellar bone plug, have gained popularity in recent years in the primary and revision settings. Postoperative complications occur with the use of QT autografts. Purpose To systematically review the incidence of postoperative complications after primary ACLR QT autograft and compare complication rates in patients undergoing all-soft tissue QT grafts versus QT grafts with a patellar bone plug (QTPB). Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods A literature search using the 2020 PRISMA guidelines was performed by querying PubMed, Embase, and Scopus databases from database inception through August 2022. Included were evidence level 1 to 4 human clinical studies in English that reported complications after primary ACLR with QT autograft. The incidence of complications within the included studies was extracted. Differences in the incidence of postoperative complications between ACLR with QT with and without a patellar bone plug were calculated. Results A total of 20 studies from 2004 to 2022, comprised of 2381 patients (2389 knees; 68.3% male) with a mean age of 27 years (range, 12-58 years), were identified. The mean follow-up was 28.5 months (range, 6-47 months). The total incidence of complications was 10.3%, with persistent postoperative knee pain being the most common (10.8%). Patients who underwent ACLR with all-soft tissue QT grafts had a 2.7-times increased incidence of anterior knee pain (23.3% vs 8.6%) and reoperations (5.9% vs 3.2%) when compared with QTPB grafts (P < .01 for both). There was no appreciable difference in total complications, graft failures, ACLR revisions, cyclops lesions, or range of motion deficit (P > .05 for all). Patellar fractures occurred exclusively after QTPB (2.2%). Conclusion Complications after primary ACLR using QT autograft were recorded in 10.5% of knees, with anterior knee pain being the most common. No difference was reported in the overall incidence of complications with the use of the QT versus QTPB grafts; however, anterior knee pain was 2.7 times greater with use of a soft tissue quadriceps graft.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review and update the literature regarding outcomes following surgical management of chronic, grade III posterolateral corner (PLC) injuries, with an emphasis on estimating failure rates based upon objective parameters in light of the 2019 expert consensus, while secondarily comparing the failure rates of anatomic versus non-anatomic reconstruction techniques. METHODS A literature search was performed using the PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library databases. Inclusion criteria consisted of level I-IV human clinical studies reporting subjective and objective outcomes in patients following surgical management for chronic (>6 weeks from injury) grade III PLC injuries, with a minimum two-year follow-up. The criterion for objective surgical failure was based on post-operative varus stress radiographs and defined as a side-to-side difference of 3 mm or more of lateral gapping. RESULTS A total of six studies, consisting of 10 separate cohorts encompassing a total of 230 patients, were identified. PLC reconstruction was performed in all cohorts, with 80 % (n = 8/10) of these cohorts utilising an anatomic reconstruction technique. A failure rate ranging from 4.3 % to 36 % was found. Subgroup analysis revealed a failure rate of 4.3 %-24.2 % for anatomic reconstruction techniques, whereas a 0 %-36 % failure rate was found for non-anatomic reconstruction. Arthrofibrosis was the most common complication (range, 0 %-12.1 %) following surgery. 0 %-8 % of patients required revision PLC surgery. CONCLUSION PLC reconstruction yields a wide variability in failure rates according to the side-to-side difference of 3 mm or more of lateral gapping on post-operative varus stress radiographs, with low revision rates following anatomic and non-anatomic reconstruction techniques. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; Systematic Review of Level III and IV studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction techniques have historically focused on single-bundle (SB) reconstruction of the larger anterolateral bundle without addressing the codominant posteromedial bundle. The SB technique has been associated with residual laxity and instability, leading to the development of double-bundle (DB) reconstruction techniques. PURPOSE To perform a meta-analysis of comparative clinical and biomechanical studies to differentiate the pooled outcomes of SB and DB PCL reconstruction cohorts. STUDY DESIGN Meta-analysis and systematic review: Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Six databases were queried in February 2022 for literature directly comparing clinical and biomechanical outcomes for patients or cadaveric specimens undergoing DB PCL reconstruction against SB PCL reconstruction. Biomechanical outcomes included posterior tibial translational laxity, external rotational laxity, and varus laxity at 30° and 90° of knee flexion. Clinical outcomes included the side-to-side difference in posterior tibial translation during postoperative stress radiographs, risk of a major complication, and the following postoperative patient-reported outcome measures: Lysholm, Tegner, and International Knee Documentation Committee (IKDC) subjective and objective scores. A random-effects model was used to compare pooled clinical and biomechanical outcomes between the cohorts. RESULTS Fifteen biomechanical studies and 13 clinical studies were included in this meta-analysis. The DB group demonstrated significantly less posterior tibial translation at 30° and 90° of knee flexion (P < .00001). Additionally, the DB group demonstrated significantly less external rotation laxity at 90° of knee flexion (P = .0002) but not at 30° of knee flexion (P = .33). There was no difference in varus laxity between the groups at 30° (P = .56) or 90° (P = .24) of knee flexion. There was significantly less translation on stress radiographs in the DB group (P = .02). Clinically, there was no significant difference between the groups for the Lysholm score (P = .95), Tegner score (P = .14), or risk of a major complication (P = .93). DB PCL reconstruction led to significantly higher odds of achieving "normal" or "near normal" objective IKDC outcomes for the included prospective studies (P = .04) and higher subjective IKDC scores (P = .01). CONCLUSION DB PCL reconstruction leads to superior biomechanical outcomes and clinical outcomes relative to SB PCL reconstruction. Re-creating native anatomy during PCL reconstruction maximizes biomechanical stability and clinical outcomes.

Abstract
Background While the biomechanical importance of the hip capsule is well described, there remains controversy over the necessity of routine capsular closure after hip arthroscopy. Purpose To perform a meta-analysis of clinical studies to compare pooled outcomes of complete hip capsular closure cohorts against unrepaired hip capsule cohorts. Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 3. Methods The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Cochrane Register of Controlled Trials, PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL/EBSCO, and Scopus were queried in February 2022 for studies that directly compared clinical outcomes for hip arthroscopy patients treated with either complete capsular closure or an unrepaired capsule. Outcomes assessed were incidence of revision hip arthroscopy, incidence of subsequent conversion to total hip arthroplasty (THA), and improvement from baseline in modified Harris Hip Score (mHHS), Hip Outcome Score (HOS) activities of daily living (ADL), HOS sports specific (SS) subscale, Copenhagen Hip and Groin Outcome Score (HAGOS) ADL, and HAGOS SS subscale. A pooled weighted mean difference (WMD) was used to compare changes in mHHS. A pooled standardized mean difference (SMD) was used to compare changes in the ADL and SS outcomes. A pooled risk ratio (RR) was used to compare the probability of revision hip arthroscopy and conversion to THA based on capsular management. For pooled outcomes where heterogeneity was regarded as potentially unimportant, a fixed-effects model was implemented. For pooled outcomes with considerable heterogeneity, a random-effects model was implemented. Results Of the 1896 records identified in our search, 11 studies (1897 patients) were included. A significantly higher improvement in mHHS (WMD, -3.72; 95% CI, -4.95 to -2.50; P < .00001) and ADL outcomes (SMD, -0.30; 95% CI, -0.54 to -0.07; P = .01) were seen after complete capsular closure. There was a significantly lower probability of subsequent revision hip arthroscopy (RR, 1.67; 95% CI, 1.14 to 2.45; P = .008) and conversion to THA (RR, 2.01; 95% CI, 1.06 to 3.79; P = .03) after complete capsular repair. There was no difference in SS outcomes (SMD, -0.02; 95% CI, -0.16 to 0.13; P = .81) between the 2 groups. Conclusion This meta-analysis demonstrated that routine complete capsular closure after hip arthroscopy led to superior clinical outcomes relative to unrepaired hip capsules.

Abstract
AIM This article aims to perform a systematic review of the clinical literature regarding the efficacy of single-stage autologous cartilage repair. METHODS A systematic review of the literature was performed using PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Library. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines were followed. RESULTS Twelve studies were identified; however, due to overlapping patient cohorts, nine studies were included for data extraction and analysis. Six studies applied minced cartilage, while three studies utilized enzymatically processed cartilage. Two authorship groups described single-stage techniques that exclusively utilized cartilage from the debrided lesion rim, while the remaining groups either utilized healthy cartilage or combined healthy cartilage with cartilage debrided from lesion rim. Among the included techniques, scaffold augments were used in four studies, and three studies implemented bone autograft augmentation. When summarizing patient reported outcome measures for the included studies, single-stage autologous cartilage repair demonstrated an average improvement ranging from 18.7 ± 5.3 to 30.0 ± 8.0 amongst the Knee Injury and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores subsections, 24.3 ± 10.5 for the International Knee Documentation Committee subjective score, and 41.0 ± 10.0 for Visual Analogue Scale-Pain. CONCLUSION Single-stage autologous cartilage repair is a promising technique with positive clinical data to date. The current study highlights the overall improvement in patient reported outcomes after repair for chondral defects to the knee with average follow-up ranging from 12 to 201 months and also the heterogeneity and variability of the single-stage surgical technique. Further discussion on the standardization of practices for a cost-effective single-stage augmented autologous cartilage technique is needed. In the future, a well-designed randomized controlled trial is needed to explore the efficacy of this therapeutic modality relative to established intervention. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Systematic review; Level IV.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare revision rates and residual postoperative instability after anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction based on biological sex. METHODS A systematic review was conducted according to the 2020 PRISMA guidelines. PubMed, Embase, MEDLINE, and Cochrane library databases were queried from database inception through October 2022. Level I and II prospectively-enrolling human clinical studies that compared revision rates and physical examination of postoperative stability after ACL reconstruction between male and female patients were included. Outcomes were stratified by patient sex and quantitatively compared using a χ2 test. Study quality was assessed using the MINORS criteria. RESULTS Four studies consisting of 406 patients (50% males) with a mean age of 25 years (range, 13.9-62 years) were identified. Mean follow-up time was 34.4 months (range, 22-60 months). Hamstring tendon autografts were used in 62% of ACL reconstructions in males and in 65% of ACL reconstructions in females, whereas bone-patellar tendon-bone autografts were used in 38% and 35% of procedures in males and females, respectively. A residual positive Lachman test result was more frequently reported among females compared to males (5.8% vs 0.6%; P = 0.03). No significant difference in revision rates or residual pivot-shift on examination was observed between males and females (P = 0.38 and P = 0.08, respectively). CONCLUSION Female patients undergoing ACL reconstruction have higher reported rates of residual anterior instability with Lachman than male patients. However, no sex-based differences were identified with residual pivot-shift on examination or rate of revision ACL surgery. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE II; Systematic Review of level II studies.

Abstract
PURPOSE To compare patient-reported outcomes and complications in patients with medial collateral ligament (MCL) injuries undergoing repair versus reconstruction with a minimum 2-year follow-up. METHODS A literature search was conducted using the PubMed, Scopus, and Embase-computerized databases from database inception to November 2022, according to the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Studies evaluating clinical outcomes and complications at a minimum of 2 years following MCL repair versus reconstruction were included. Study quality was assessed using the MINORS criteria. RESULTS A total of 18 studies published from 1997 to 2022, consisting of 503 patients were identified. Twelve studies (n = 308 patients; mean age: 32.6 years) reported outcomes following MCL reconstruction, and 8 studies (n = 195 patients; mean age: 28.5 years) reported results following MCL repair. Postoperative International Knee Documentation Committee, Lysholm, and Tegner scores ranged from 67.6 to 91, 75.8 to 94.8, and 4.4 to 8, respectively, in the MCL reconstruction group, compared to 73 to 91, 75.1 to 98.5, and 5.2 to 10, respectively, in the MCL repair group. Knee stiffness was the most commonly reported complication following MCL repair (range: 0% - 50%) and reconstruction (range: 0% - 26.7%). Failures occurred in 0% to 14.6% of patients following reconstruction versus 0% to 35.1% of patients undergoing MCL repair. Manipulation under anesthesia (MUA) for postoperative arthrofibrosis (range: 0% - 12.2%) and surgical debridement for arthrofibrosis (range: 0% - 20%) were the most commonly reported reoperations in the MCL reconstruction and repair groups, respectively. CONCLUSIONS MCL reconstruction versus repair both demonstrate improved International Knee Documentation Committee, Lysholm, and Tegner scores. MCL repair demonstrates higher rates of postoperative knee stiffness and failure at a minimum 2-year follow-up. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level III and IV studies.

Abstract
CONTEXT Many clinicians, trainers, and athletes do not have a true understanding of the effects of commonly used performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) on performance and health. OBJECTIVE To provide an evidence-based review of 7 commonly used pharmacological interventions for performance enhancement in athletes. DATA SOURCES PubMed and Scopus databases were searched on April 8, 2022. STUDY SELECTION Systematic reviews (SRs) and meta-analyses (MAs) assessing the performance-enhancing effects of the following interventions were included: androgenic anabolic steroids (AAS), growth hormone (GH), selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs), creatine, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)-inhibitors, recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO), and cannabis. STUDY DESIGN Umbrella review of SRs and MAs. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4. DATA EXTRACTION Primary outcomes collected were (1) body mass, (2) muscle strength, (3) performance, and (4) recovery. Adverse effects were also noted. RESULTS A total of 27 papers evaluating 5 pharmacological interventions met inclusion criteria. No studies evaluating SARMs or ACE-inhibitors were included. AAS lead to a 5% to 52% increase in strength and a 0.62 standard mean difference in lean body mass with subsequent lipid derangements. GH alters body composition, without providing a strength or performance benefit, but potential risks include soft tissue edema, fatigue, arthralgias, and carpel tunnel syndrome. Creatine use during resistance training can safely increase total and lean body mass, strength, and performance in high-intensity, short-duration, repetitive tasks. Limited evidence supports rHuEPO benefit on performance despite increases in both VO2max and maximal power output, and severe cardiovascular risks are documented. Cannabis provides no performance benefit and may even impair athletic performance. CONCLUSION In young healthy persons and athletes, creatine can safely provide a performance-enhancing benefit when taken in controlled doses. AAS, GH, and rHuEPO are associated with severe adverse events and do not support a performance benefit, despite showing the ability to change bodily composition, strength, and/or physiologic measures. Cannabis may have an ergolytic, instead of ergogenic, effect.

Abstract
PURPOSE To systematically review the current literature regarding the indications, techniques, and outcomes after 2-stage revision anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). METHODS A literature search was performed using SCOPUS, PubMed, Medline, and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials according to the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses statement. Inclusion criteria was limited to Level I-IV human studies reporting on indications, surgical techniques, imaging, and/or clinical outcomes of 2-stage revision ACLR. RESULTS Thirteen studies with 355 patients treated with 2-stage revision ACLR were identified. The most commonly reported indications were tunnel malposition and tunnel widening, with knee instability being the most common symptomatic indication. Tunnel diameter threshold for 2-stage reconstruction ranged from 10 to 14 mm. The most common grafts used for primary ACLR were bone-patellar tendon-bone (BPTB) autograft, hamstring graft, and LARS (polyethylene terephthalate) synthetic graft. The time elapsed from primary ACLR to the first stage surgery ranged from 1.7 years to 9.7 years, whereas the time elapsed between the first and second stage ranged from 21 weeks to 13.6 months. Six different bone grafting options were reported, with the most common being iliac crest autograft, allograft bone dowels, and allograft bone chips. During definitive reconstruction, hamstring autograft and BPTB autograft were the most commonly used grafts. Studies reporting patient-reported outcome measures showed improvement from preoperative to postoperative levels in Lysholm, Tegner, and objective International Knee and Documentation Committee scores. CONCLUSIONS Tunnel malpositioning and widening remain the most common indications for 2-stage revision ACLR. Bone grafting is commonly reported using iliac crest autograft and allograft bone chips and dowels, whereas hamstring autograft and BPTB autograft were the most used grafts during the second-stage definitive reconstruction. Studies showed improvements from preoperative to postoperative levels in commonly used patient reported outcomes measures. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level IV, systematic review of Level I, III, and IV studies.

Abstract
Background There is no consensus regarding the management of posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) avulsion fractures and the expected outcomes after treatment. Purpose To systematically review clinical outcomes and complications after management of tibial-sided avulsion fractures of the PCL. Study Design Systematic review; Level of evidence, 4. Methods A literature search of Scopus, PubMed, Medline, and the Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials was performed in accordance with the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Included were studies with evidence levels 1 to 4 that reported clinical outcomes after treatment of PCL tibial-sided avulsion fractures in humans. The quality of the included studies was performed using the Methodological Index for Non-Randomized Studies (MINORS) criteria. A meta-analysis was performed for patient-reported outcome measures using random-effects modeling with 95% CIs. Results A total of 58 studies published between 1999 and 2022 were identified. The mean MINORS score was 9.90 ± 4.12, indicating overall low-quality evidence with high risk of bias. The studies comprised 1440 patients (mean age, 32.59 ± 5.69 years; 75.2% males) with a mean follow-up of 26.9 ± 19.6 months (range, 5.3-126 months). Most patients were treated with open surgery (63.6%), followed by arthroscopic surgery (29.7%) and nonoperative treatment (6.7%). All patients reported significant posttreatment improvement in both subjective and objective outcomes (P < .05 for all). Arthroscopic surgery was associated with lower postoperative posterior tibial translation compared with open surgery (range, 0.6-3.2 vs 1.7-3.1 mm), greater preoperative to postoperative improvement in Lysholm score (54.6 vs 48.8; P < .0001), higher postoperative Tegner score (6.64 ± 1.03 vs 6.14 ± 2.29; P = .0448), and a higher rate of return to sport (100% vs 89.5%; P = .009). Nonoperative management was associated with a significantly lower fracture union rate (87% vs 99.1%; P < .0001) and greater postoperative side-to-side posterior translation (4.9 ± 4.3 mm) when compared with operative management. Conclusion Although nonoperative and surgical management of PCL tibial avulsion fractures resulted in high rates of fracture union and improvement in functional outcome scores and a low incidence of complications, nonoperative treatment yielded a high side-to-side posterior displacement (>4 mm) with a lower rate of fracture union compared to surgical treatment.

Abstract
Purpose To evaluate reported clinical outcomes and complications following radiofrequency (RF) ablation for the treatment of knee chondral lesions. Methods A literature search was performed according to the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses guidelines by querying EMBASE, PubMed, and Scopus computerized databases from database inception through October 2022. Level I to IV clinical studies that reported outcomes or complications following RF-based chondroplasty were included. Postoperative outcome scores and complications were aggregated. Study quality was assessed via the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale. Results Ten articles from 2002 to 2018 consisting of 1,107 patients (n = 1,504 lesions) were identified. Four studies were of Level I evidence, 3 studies were Level II, 1 study was Level III, and 2 studies were Level IV. The mean patient age was 41.8 ± 6.3 years (range, 12-87). Seven studies (n = 1,037 patients) used bipolar RF devices, and 3 studies (n = 70 patients) used monopolar RF devices. The overall mean postoperative Lysholm, Tegner, and IKDC scores ranged from 83 to 91, 3.8 to 7, and 49 to 90, respectively, in lesions ranging from grade I-IV according to the Outerbridge Classification. Monopolar RF devices reported qualitatively similar mean changes in Lysholm scores (83), Tegner scores (3.8), and IKDC scores (range, 49-69) compared with bipolar RF devices (range, 86.4-91, 4.5-7, 90, respectively). The incidence of complications ranged from 0% to 4%. The most commonly reported complication was osteonecrosis (range, 0% to 4%). The incidence rate of patients undergoing additional surgery ranged from 0% to 4.5%. Conclusions The available literature on RF-based chondroplasty shows its efficacy and safety for the treatment of knee chondral lesions, with good clinical outcome scores and low complication and reoperation rates. Level of Evidence Level IV, systematic review of Level I-IV studies.

Abstract
Purpose To systematically examine the effects of radiofrequency (RF) ablation or coblation (controlled ablation) on chondrocyte viability following knee chondroplasty in preclinical literature to determine the effectiveness and safety of RF-based techniques. Methods A literature search was performed in September 2022 using PubMed and Scopus using the following search terms combined with Boolean operators: "chondroplasty," "radiofrequency," "thermal," "knee," "chondral defect," "articular cartilage," and "cartilage." The inclusion criteria consisted of preclinical studies examining the effect of RF ablation or coblation on chondrocytes during knee chondroplasty. Exclusion criteria consisted of studies reporting chondroplasty in joints other than the knee, clinical studies, in vitro studies using animal models, case reports, non-full-text articles, letters to editors, surveys, review articles, and abstracts. The following data were extracted from the included articles: author, year of publication, chondral defect location within the knee and chondral characteristics, RF probe characteristics, cartilage macroscopic description, microscopic chondrocyte description, and extracellular matrix characteristics. Results A total of 17 articles, consisting of 811 cartilage specimens, were identified. The mean specimen age was 63.4 ± 6.0 (range, 37-89) years. Five studies used monopolar RF devices, 7 studies used bipolar RF devices, whereas 4 studies used both monopolar and bipolar RF devices. Time until cell death during ablation at any power was reported in 5 studies (n = 351 specimens), with a mean time to cell death of 54.4 seconds (mean range, 23.1-64) for bipolar RF and 56.3 seconds (mean range, 12.5-64) for monopolar RF devices. Chondrocyte cell death increased with increased wattage, while treatment time was positively correlated with deeper cell death. Conclusions In this systematic review, histologic analysis demonstrated that RF-based chondroplasty creates a precise area of targeted chondrocyte death, with minimal evidence of necrosis outside the target zone. Caution must be exercised when performing RF-based chondroplasty due to the risk of cell death with increased application time and wattage. Clinical Relevance Although RF ablation has demonstrated favorable results in preliminary trials, including smoother cartilage and less damage to the surrounding healthy tissue, the risks versus benefits of the procedure are largely unknown. Caution must be exercised when performing RF-based chondroplasty in the clinical setting due to the risk of cell death with increased application time and wattage.

Abstract
» Approximately 1 in 3 high-impact athletes develops patellar tendinopathy (PT), with the proximal insertion of the patellar tendon being the most commonly affected anatomical site.» Nonoperative treatment options are effective in reducing pain and restoring functionality in most patients with PT. However, operative intervention should be considered when conservative management fails.» A comprehensive review of the literature on surgical procedures, including both open and arthroscopic approaches, was conducted with a specific focus on clinical outcomes and return to sports.» Both open surgery and arthroscopic surgery for PT have demonstrated favorable success rates and return-to-sport outcomes, with arthroscopic treatment potentially expediting the recovery process.

Abstract
Although historically overlooked, medial meniscus posterior root (MMPR) tears are now increasingly recognized as a substantial cause of biomechanical impairment and morbidity. MMPR tears, when left untreated, are strongly correlated to meniscal extrusion and ultimately lead to altered kinematics and loading functionally equivalent to a total meniscectomy. To prevent progressive joint degeneration and alleviate pain while re-establishing native joint kinematics, MMPR repair is generally recommended in appropriately selected patients. In this Technical Note, the authors describe a detailed checklist with 10 crucial points of emphasis when performing the gold-standard transtibial pull-out repair of the MMPR, with an additional centralization stitch, providing technical pearls backed up by previous literature and ample experience treating this condition.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review provides a historical perspective on the approach to radial tears and collates the currently available evidence on repair techniques, rehabilitation, and outcomes following the treatment of meniscus radial tears. RECENT FINDINGS Recent literature shows that the repair of meniscus radial tears reports improved patient-reported outcome scores with high return to function and activity. However, no single technique nor construct was proven better than the other. Various methods of repairing radial tears can be employed, with biomechanical research supporting all-inside double vertical sutures, the addition of vertical "rip-stop" mattress sutures, and transtibial pullout augmentation. To ensure proper healing before undergoing physical therapy, it is crucial to abstain from weight-bearing and deep knee flexion for the first 6 weeks after surgery. Despite considerable heterogeneity in surgical techniques and rehabilitation protocols found in the current literature, studies reporting on radial repairs report positive results, with high healing rates and improved patient-reported outcomes.

Abstract
Hip capsulotomy is performed during arthroscopic hip procedures to achieve adequate visualization of the joint and instrument access. The hip capsule, and in particular the iliofemoral ligament, is an important stabilizer of the hip joint, and patients who undergo capsulotomy without subsequent repair may experience hip pain and instability, with increased risk of requiring revision hip arthroscopy. Therefore, restoring watertight closure of the capsule is necessary to restore native biomechanics and achieve desired postoperative outcomes. Although primary repair or plication suffice in most cases, capsule reconstruction may instead be necessary when there is insufficient tissue, often due to capsular insufficiency following index surgery. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe the authors' current technique for arthroscopic hip capsular reconstruction using the indirect head of the rectus femoris tendon in the setting of capsular iatrogenic hip instability, as well as its advantages and disadvantages and technical pearls and pitfalls.

Abstract
Osteochondral allograft transplantation provides components of both cartilage and subchondral bone and can be used in large and multifocal defects where autologous procedures are limited by donor-site morbidity. Osteochondral allograft transplantation is particularly appealing in the management of failed cartilage repair, as larger defects and subchondral bone involvement are often present, and the use of multiple overlapping plugs might be considered. The described technique provides our preoperative workup and reproducible surgical approach for patients who have undergone previous osteochondral transplantation with graft failure and are young, active patients who would not be otherwise suited for a knee arthroplasty procedure.

Abstract
PURPOSE To review the incidence of complications following primary medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction for recurrent patellar instability. METHODS A literature search was conducted by querying PubMed and Scopus databases from database inception through August 2022 according to the 2020 Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analysis guidelines using the terms "Medial Patellofemoral Ligament," "MPFL," "reconstruction," "patellar," and "instability." Inclusion criteria included studies reporting complications following primary MPFL reconstruction for recurrent patellar instability. Exclusion criteria consisted of studies reporting on patients undergoing concurrent osteotomy procedures, revision reconstruction, and biomechanical or anatomic studies. The incidence of specific complications was aggregated from the included studies. RESULTS Twenty-eight studies, consisting of 1,478 patients (n = 1521 knees), with a mean age of 23.3 years (mean range, 19-34.3 years) were identified. The overall incidence of complications ranged from 0% to 32.3% of knees. Failure ranged from 0% to 10.7% of knees, whereas patellar fractures occurred in 0% to 8.3% of knees, primarily in patients treated with full-length transverse tunnel or 2-tunnel techniques. All patellar fractures occurred in patients with patellar tunnels ranging from 4.5 to 6.0 mm in diameter. The incidence of postoperative knee stiffness/range of motion deficit ranged from 0% to 20%. Persistent anterior knee pain, ranged from 0% to 32.3%. CONCLUSIONS Complications following primary MPFL reconstruction ranged from 0% to 32.3% of knees, primarily consisting of residual anterior knee pain. Failure ranged from 0% to 10.7% of knees, whereas patellar fractures were reported in 0% to 8.3% of knees. Fractures primarily occurred with a full-length transverse tunnel or 2-tunnel techniques, whereas all fractures occurred with patellar tunnels ranging from 4.5 mm to 6.0 mm in diameter. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE IV; Systematic Review of Level I-IV studies.

Abstract
Whereas acute proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) dislocation may require urgent reduction, chronic or recurrent instability may initially be approached with conservative treatment. Indications for PTFJ reconstruction include persistent lateral knee pain and/or tibiofibular instability for which conservative treatment has failed. Owing to the low incidence of diagnosed isolated PTFJ instability, there is still no consensus regarding the optimal surgical treatment, with an array of options having been previously described. We describe the treatment of isolated PTFJ instability using an anatomic reconstruction with semitendinosus allograft for chronic instability.

Abstract
Horizontal cleavage tears (HCTs) are challenging meniscal tear patterns, as they split the meniscus into inferior and superior leaflets, while also involving the central, less vascular portions of the meniscus. Circumferential compression sutures using an all-inside self-retrieving suture passing device like the Novostitch Pro (Smith & Nephew, Andover, MA) have demonstrated the ability to create stable repair constructs with uniform compression across both leaflets in the setting of HCTs. Additionally, biological augmentation of meniscal repairs using a marrow venting procedure (MVP) has demonstrated superior clinical outcomes relative to isolated meniscal repairs. Thus, the purpose of this technical note is to outline our procedure for implementing circumferential compression sutures and biologic augmentation using an MVP for repairing an HCT of the lateral meniscus.

Abstract
In recent years, repair of the injured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) has been subject to a renewed interest as novel arthroscopic techniques have been developed. Specifically, the bridge-enhanced ACL repair is a technique composed of a resorbable protein-based implant combined with autologous blood that is used to bridge the gap between 2 torn edges of a mid-substance ACL tear. This implant is believed to help facilitate healing of a primary suture repair and suture cinch and has since demonstrated noninferiority to ACL reconstruction with autograft at 2-year follow-up. The purpose of this Technical Note is to describe a step-by-step surgical technique of a mid-substance ACL repair using the bridge-enhanced ACL repair system in a case with a concomitant lateral meniscus radial repair.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Anatomic repair of meniscal pathology is critical for restoring native joint biomechanics and kinematics for patients who suffer from meniscal tears. The purpose of this review was to summarize the pertinent anatomy, biomechanics, and kinematics of the meniscus to guide surgeons during meniscal repair procedures. RECENT FINDINGS Over the past decade, there has been a growing trend to save the meniscus whenever possible. The goal of repair should be to recreate native anatomy as close as possible to recapitulate normal mechanics. Studies describing the quantitative and qualitative relationship of the meniscus roots, ligaments, and attachments are key in guiding any meniscus repair. This review summarizes these relationships, with particular emphasis on meniscal roots and other key attachments to the meniscus. The composition, embryology, vascularization, biomechanics, in vivo kinetics, and in vivo kinematics of the meniscus are also discussed in this review. Meniscal tears can cause profound functional, biomechanical, and kinematic derangements within the knee joint leading to accelerated degeneration of the articular cartilage. A strong understanding of the quantitative and qualitative relationships of the meniscus and its attachments with key arthroscopic landmarks will allow a surgeon to anatomically repair meniscal pathology in order to restore native joint biomechanics.

Abstract
Osteochondritis dissecans (OCD) is a pathologic condition, most commonly affecting the knee joint in adolescents and young adults, although pathology can also be found at the elbow and ankle. Lesions to the medial femoral condyle are classically associated with varus alignment, while lesions to the lateral femoral condyle are seen in patients with valgus malalignment. Common risk factors for failed fixation of OCD lesions include unstable lesions to the lateral femoral condyle, screw breakage, older age, and closed physes. The purpose of this technical note is to describe the preoperative planning and step-by-step surgical approach for treatment of failed fixation of an OCD lesion of the posterior aspect of the lateral femoral condyle in young, active patients using an osteochondral allograft, a lateral opening wedge distal femoral osteotomy to correct malalignment, and a tibial tubercle osteotomy to facilitate access to the lesion.
