TL;DR: In the present review, the current scientific understanding of reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament is discussed in a sequence based on the order in which clinical decisions are made, to help orthopaedic surgeons to understand the reasons for previous and current successes and failures of reconstruction.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors defined the characteristics of repair of 6-mm full-thickness osteochondral defects in the adult Spanish goat and examined the defect at ten time-intervals, ranging from time zero (immediately after creation of the defect) to one year post-operatively.

TL;DR: 13 patients after intra-articular ACL reconstruction using a patella tendon autograft developed a similar symptom complex, and in addition to postoperative loss of full extension, there was an audible and palpable clunk with terminal extension.

TL;DR: The difficulty of accurately placing a needle into the intra-articular space of the knee when an effusion is not present is demonstrated using real-time fluoroscopic imaging with contrast material to highlight the need for clinicians to refine injection techniques for delivering intra-artsicular therapeutic substances that are intended to coat the articular surfaces of the knees.

TL;DR: Although the majority of bony lesions resolve, permanent alterations remained in some cases and have implications that may affect rehabilitation and the long-term prognosis in those patients with extensive bony and associated articular cartilage injuries.
