Background Tibiofemoral bone morphology has been proposed as a potential risk factor for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture, with recent increasing interest in the lateral femoral condyle. Objective Investigate several tibiofemoral bone morphology measurements as risk factors for rupturing the ACL. Design Retrospective case–control study. Setting Clinical setting. Patients (or Participants) 200 ACL-ruptur...
Importance Several bone morphological parameters have been identified in the scientific literature as risk factors for sustaining an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury; however, a clear consensus on which are the most predisposing factors is still missing. Aim This systematic review and meta-analysis aims to investigate the association between bone morphological parameters and the risk of sustaining an ACL...

Methods: A comprehensive search using Pubmed, Cochrane Library, SPORTDiscus, and CINAHL databases was carried out until September 30, 2015. All English language s...
Importance Patellofemoral osteoarthritis (PFOA) is a common problem in the active population, affecting 2–11% of men and 8–24% of women over 55 years of age. Conservative measures are often ineffective, and patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) is an appealing solution considering that it is minimally invasive procedure, without burning any bridges if conversion to a total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is required.
