Acl Injury

Reaching full, adult height at an older age may be correlated with riskier landing biomechanics and a higher susceptibility for ACL injury in young men, according to published results.

Patients diagnosed with ACL injuries and Segond fractures had complete anterolateral ligament insertion on the avulsed bony fragment, though the posterior portion of the iliotibial band had a lower rate of attachment, according to findings.

Asian, Hispanic and black patients who underwent ACL reconstruction had a similar or lower risk of undergoing elective ACL revision compared with white patients. In results of this published study, white patients had the lowest unadjusted revision-free survival over time.

Patients with partial or complete ACL tears and those who had failed ACL reconstruction had increased rotary knee laxity, according to results of a recently published prospective, multicenter study.
