There's truly no place like Bloomington.
Welcome home, Hoosiers.

Did you know? Transtibial medial meniscus root repair had a 23% failure risk at 2 years in this study. Female patients, higher BMI, more severe chondral injury, and skipping rehab are all linked to higher failure rates. Share your thoughts below! #KneeSurgery #Meniscus

LET has been a hot topic amongst knee surgeons in recent years. This study shows that adding LET to ACL reconstruction may improve retear rates in those female soccer players with generalized ligamentous laxity. #ACLrecon #lateralextraarticulartenodesis #returntosport

Check out this systematic review comparing inlay versus onlay open subpectoral biceps tenodesis, where both techniques demonstrated similar clinical outcomes, pain relief, return to sport, and low Popeye deformity rates. #BicepsTenodesis

Wang et al. report that proximal hamstring repair was associated with lower reoperation and postoperative infection rates than reconstruction in a large nationwide database study. #HamstringRepair

Does an intact root repair always mean a successful one? Second-look arthroscopy after MMPRT repair showed that many repairs were intact but lax, and that laxity was associated with worse clinical and radiographic outcomes. #MedialMeniscusPosteriorRootTear#MeniscalRepair

Which fixation method performs best for LET? This cadaveric biomechanical study found no significant difference in load to failure between interference screw and suture anchor fixation, while staple fixation trailed behind. #LateralExtraarticularTenodesis

Structural "abnormalities" are nearly universal in football players and do not differentiate those with pain from those without.

Quad tendon: 2x the cross-sectional area of patellar tendon, 38% greater load to failure, 68% greater stiffness, and less harvest-site pain (Shani et al., 2016). Re-rupture rate: QT 2.5% vs. hamstring 8.7%, p=0.01 (Hurley et al., 2022). A meta-analysis of 2,962 patients across 32 RCTs found QT superior to both BTB and hamstring on key outcome measures (Yang et al., 2020). BTB is still a great graft, but the data on QT keeps getting stronger.

A new review reports that lower extremity BFR training improves strength-related outcomes in 58% of studies compared with non-BFR training in athletes.
